improve the TV audio

Good morning everyone. I have a set of two Play 5s that I use to listen to music. Now I would like to improve the TV audio a lot (especially the speech), do you think I improve a lot by purchasing and connecting a Beam soundbar? Or do I just connect the two Play 5s to the TV? Thank you

Can you adjust EQ for individual Sonos Products in the same group?

I have a Arc, and 2 x era 100’s in my “Tv Room”. the era 100s are set up as surrounds to work with the arc.however, i can’t find an option to EQ only the arc, or only the Era 100’s. it seems the EQ applies to all devices in the TV room. is this normal?

Beam Gen 1 compatibility

I have a Gen 1 Beam.  It won't play as the system tells me it is incompatible.   It is still in great condition but I can't get it to register in my system settings.  How do I fix?

Home Theater & Music

New to Sonos and just want to confirm if I can use 1 amp or need 2?  Looking to setup a 5.1 with soundbar/amp and 2 ceiling speakers in living room. Then in kitchen/dining room use 4 ceiling speakers.  From what I read you can connect up to 6 ceiling speakers to 1 amp. Not looking to use both systems at same time, but can I utilize the 5.1 and then the 4 other speakers separately with 1 amp? Hope this makes sense. thank you, David

Firestick 4K and LG TV not playing dolby digital atmos

If your Sonos Arc and LG TV are not playing Dolby Digital Atmos, go to All Settings on your TV, then Sound, then Advanced Settings. On the respective input (e.g., HDMI 1) change it from the default PCM to BitstreamWhile you’re still on the screen in your Firestick setting screen for Audio and Video Diagnostics, you should see all the Dolby capabilities immediately change from No to Yes.

Sonos Arc stepper

Hi Sonos,I installed the Sonos Arc on my TV (with arc/earc). Only thing i’m missing as a feature is a stepper to increase/decrease the sound with 1-10% instead of 1%. It’s very irritating to press the volume button like 100 times.Thanks.

Using the sub

Hi  I am about to add 2 sonos 1s as a stereo pair to my living room. In my conservatory I have an existing system of 2 sonos 1s and a sonos sub. How can I configure the living room pair to use the sonos sub in the conservatory, but ensure the sub still works with the conservatory pair? Thanks for any pointers.

Home theatre with other rooms volume synchronised

I have a Sonos Arc with 5.1 in my living room. I also have one Play:1 in the bedroom and one Play:1 in the bathroom.  I like to have them all grouped when watching TV. The only thing what is a bit annoying is that when I change the volume with the TV remote only the Arc gets louder/softer. The other grouped speakers don't change.  It happens all to often that I decrease the volume on the TV and the sound comes from bedroom and bathroom what is not what I want and it sounds strange. Is there a possibility to synchronise the volume changes for the entire group when using the TV remote? I know it works when using the app.
