Home theater

Have TV setup with Denon AVR 3700 receiver which has Klipsch speakers also have Sonos setup though out rest of the house.  Want to be able to play sound from TV setup to Sonos.  Have a Sonos Port that is setup to play sound through Denon to Klipsch.  Essentially trying to do the opposite.  Play whatever receiver is pushing to Klipsch speakers to Sonos setup.  Do I use the line-in ports on Sonos Port?  Then which port on the back of Denon do I use.  Speaker ports on the bottom left in white are all used.   

I swapped out a Playbase with a Beam about a month ago.  The Playbase has been wonderful for several years.  Great sound, nicely tuned for TV usage. I would buy it again any day.I moved to a new house where the TV needs to go on the fireplace mantel, so I need something les than about 5 inches deep to fit the space.I thought a Beam would be perfect, and I expected the usual Sonos quality.  I am deeply disappointed. The Beam has no midrange, which means dialog is especially bad.I have loudness off, I have EQ set to -10 bass, +10 treble.  I tuned the room with Truplay.  Truplay took the speaker from godawful to merely far beneath acceptable.I have checked the ARC connections, HDMI 2.2, Dolby, etc.  I have been reading some other suggestions around these forums, but the reality is the Beam allows very little adjustment and also adjustment won't fix a bad speaker design.I don’t think the Beam is worth even $100 and it’s really not much of an upgrade compared to the poor quality speakers bu

I have a gen 1 beam connected to a 2015 vizio D50-D1 and Apple Tv 4k gen 1.My question is this ; the TV has 1 Arc port, 2 other standard HDMI ports, and an optical port. When connecting the beam to the arc port or the optical port i get dolby digital 5.1. Is their a benefit to using the arc over the optical in this scenario? With only 3 HDMI ports i am low on spaces for devices (xbox , switch etc). I will keep it on the arc if there is any benefit over optical in this scenario. Below are my settings. any feedback is welcome  sonos theatre setup gen 1 beam with 2 rear ones  apple tv settings:audio output: reciever speakersaudio format : autoaudio mode : auto  music app settings:dolby atmos: automatic audio quality: lossless vizio settings :tv speakers offsurround sound on Digital audio out bitstream

Hi, my set up is the Panasonic UB820.... Hooked up to a Panasonic GZ950 OLED using an Audioquest Cinamnon 2.0 18gbps cable via the Arc port, NO eARC unfortunately on this 3 yr old TV. No surround speakers.Having the same problem as I've read on other threads whereby iv updated the Beam2 thinking thatl solve many of my 4K films DTS issues but no joy!Spent months building my collection unaware of this BIG ATMOS v DTS audio format rivalry/compatibility until I got the Beam 2 recently to complete my devices set up.PLEASE PLEASE can someone help me to get rid of the awful "Stereo PCM" on my S2 App. I'm at a loss and do not want to buy the Arcana Fury to solve everything!  I think it's my TV or UB820 settings as I had to teak the TV to get the ATMOS audio some of my films are in and WOW what a difference it makes in s small room approx 3 X 3 metres. Many thanks Kam!

I’m streaming music through a Sonos Amp, wired to two JBL floor standing speakers and paired with a Sonos Move.  The Move plays in the same room alongside the standing speakers.  The Move is a nice ‘sound filler’ for the big speakers and can then be moved to another location such as outside, when required. When streaming music the floor speakers and Move are perfectly  synchronised but when my Samsung TV is the source of input (via HDMI ARC, TV to Amp) the floor speakers and Move are slightly non synchronised, creating an ‘echo’ effect, or an exaggerated spatially separated sound.  The Move appears to be fractionally delayed behind the floor speakers. The TV sound quality is poor unless I turn off the Move and take it out of the equation. How to explain and correct the de-synchronised audio when TV is the source?

I had a sonos beam and one sonos one speaker.I added a sonos one to have a home theatre system, followed the instructions to set up surround sound and it all worked.I then did the true play and all worked.now when I am trying to listen to the tv as a home theatre I have no sound from the 2 one speakers and sound only comes through the beam.if I play the radio via Alexa sound comes through all 3 speakers.probably something simple but would appreciate some help.TV is a Panasonic connection via HDMI. 

I have connected my Sonos Beam gen 2 to my LG tv via the HDMI eArc input, However even though the broadcasts from Apple TV are carry the Dolby Atmos signal my sound bar is only playing them in stereo. When I unplug the sound bar the TV will play the sound in Dolby Atmos. When I reconnect the sound bar the sound is only in stereo. The tv is an LGOLED55C14LB

I bought myself a new Panasonic TV (TX-55JZ1500B) and a new home theatre system (Arc, 2 x Play 1 SL and Sub) and thought it would be helpful to add my experience. Arc connected to TV eArc.The initial set-up want flawlessly, connected it all up and it worked just fine. Then a little while ago I noticed that the sound would cutout for about 10 seconds and then return. Initially I suspected an interruption to the TV signal (sound only, not picture). However, this has happened 5 or 6 times now. I’ve not investigated because it’s not been a significant problem.Then a few days ago, after switching th TV on, the TV remove wouldn’t control the volume any more (the sound level didn’t change), though the screen said that it was reducing the volume, and the sound was coming out of the Sonos speakers.Everything seemed fine with the connections so I did the old power off and on again, no difference. After trying various combinations of plugging / un-plugging things and powering on and off, I still

I just did a reboot of all my speakers and an update to get things going.. but now I find that my ‘Family Room’ Group of speaker that Iv’e set up, 2 Play 3’s and a sub gen 2 wont allow the Playbar to join the group. 

Bonjour, je viens d’acheter une beam et 2 sonos one. que j’ai configuré en home cinéma.Je voulais savoir si il est possible de dissocier facilement les 2 Ones pour écouter de la musique et garder la Beam pour regarder la TV en même temps. Peut- être créer des profils différents. MerciI

Hi! There have been some questions about this before but I have to ask ones more. I have an LG tv (65uf772v-zw) set up with Beam, sub and two ikea symfonisk. My tv is to old for having the Disney + app and I'm thinking of buying the new Chromecast with google tv. But... does anyone here att this forum know if I will get 5.1 with Disney +? If I read about my tv it have DD and dts decoder. Best regards/Calle

Hi, can anyone clarify whether my old Sonos Play:1s are compatible with the latest Beam (Gen 2), to create effective TV surround sound? TV is an LG 43UP81006LA. What would be the limitations of such a set up? Thanks.

I was thinking about getting the Roam for two things both of which I only do occasionally: listen to music in the backyard, and watch a movie that is worth having surround sound for. But I’ve just found out the second use is not possible.I’ve read other posts about technical issues, things like “re-tuning the Trueplay” but since I’m Android, that’s a feature of my Arc I can’t use anyway. In response to a request for this on the Move someone said voice assistants would have to be disabled and re-activated every time - why not a temporary disable when put into surround mode? Got to be do-able surely?My problem is I’ve got no good place for a permanent rear speaker, so a portable speaker is the ideal solution: why can’t I have the option of using the Roam - even if there are some limitations? Add this feature and I’m getting one ASAP.

Hi,I am interested in jumping into the Sonos eco-system with the purchase of a Beam 2 to enhance my home theater experience. For now, I only plan to get the Beam 2 for financial reasons, I hope it will be great already (without subwoofer or surround speakers).Here is my projected setup:Epson projector ceiling mounted (HDMI connexion through ceiling/wall ntegrated plug/wires) Apple TV 4K (not the 2021 gen.) Beam 2Since the Apple TV 4K has no sounds output and the projector is far away from the sound bar, I will not have the option to use the HDMI eARC input of the Beam, which is the way the beam is designed for.I understood the will be 2 turnaround options:Using Airplay 2 Using a HDMI extractor with eArc outputFor the first option (Airplay 2), here are my questions:Is it actually possible to connect the Beam to the Apple TV 4K using Airplay 2 and then have a wireless connexion ? Is that still true that it will require to switch to the Beam each time the Apple TV is switch on ? Is there

Hello i am planning to upgrade my playBase to Arc and my current TV only supports HDMI AUDIO RETURN CHANNEL (ARC), not eARC, here is my TV specshttps://www.sony.ca/en/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/xbr-55x800e/specificationsso my question isis it worth to update from Playbase to Arc, without changing my TV ? do i get the Dolby Atoms?please guide me to take the decision.thank you,bala.

I play 4K movies off a hard drive plugged into my Philips 65PUS6754/12 TV. I have sent up the surround system using an arc, a sub and two ones. Playing certain files off the hard drive there are sync issues that are not there when I just use the TV speakers. I know I can adjust the audio delay in the settings on the app but am struggling to get it 100% matched up. Is there any settings I can change or any tips to help get it perfectly in sync, thanks.

I just upgraded my Playbar to the ARC (and sub) and my TV to the Sony AJ80. I have been testing for a couple of weeks, and at this point I am severely disappointed with the terrible volume level of the dialogue/voices while viewing movies.  I have to constantly increase the volume to hear dialogue but then turn it down when something explodes. My sources vary from using the smart apps on the TV (Netflix, Plex, HBO Max, Prime, Hulu, etc.) to watching shows/movies using my cable provider COX. The worst is while watching movies with COX. The sound format from COX is Dolby Digital 5.1, and the results are terrible. I have run Trueplay and turned on Speech Enhancement, and fiddled with every setting on the Sony TV. There just doesn’t seem to be a way to enhance the dialogue volume. I was researching on the web and noticed several comments in other forums that the problem may be the TV and how it outputs audio. I have also seen a ton of comments from other Sonos ARC owners who are experienci

We have a new Sonos Beam (Gen 2) hooked up to our Samsung Smart TV. It works fine, but it makes a noise that sounds like a DVD player when a disc loads, kind if that spinning, wind-up sound. This happens when nothing is even playing (TV or music), as well as when when Pandora or my music library is changing songs. Is that normal? It’s kind of bothersome. Something I’ve thought about is that I THINK this happens mainly when I’m casting from my laptop to the TV. Also when I’m playing my music library, which actually comes from my laptop. Is that possible, and if so, is that to be expected?

Hi all , I'm still getting audio jitter whilst watching sky+ hd , it happened yesterday , whilst it was happening I paused the programme and immediately played the programme again and the jitter stopped !! Then audio was fine , this issue hadn't appeared for 10 days , it could be another 10 days before it does it again ! It never did this with just the TV speakers , it only started since I got the Sonos ! I've found an audio clip on line that is 99% how mine sounds when it happens , unfortunately the guy who posted the clip didn't state a fix , 10 seconds in the issue starts .I have a diagnostic number 1154286223 guy at Sonos didn't seem that helpful tbh , here's the clip https://www.dropbox.com/s/34qcz19xg8dbab9/20180922_214658x2.mp3?dl=0 

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows how I should proceed. I’ve had a defective online order (beam 2) authorised for replacement, the item was returned and delivery is tracked and confirmed, but despite the original email stating this should take approx 5 days I’m now well over that. What concerns me is that my emails get totally ignored. Chat support advise me to email the Sonos support email address, but no one responds. Chat support says not their area, they can’t help. I’d hate to have to claim back through cc, or small claims court, but how long should I realistically just sit back and wait? At this point they have my money and I have no purchase. Apologies if this isn’t the right forum, just thought maybe you guys would know how to proceed. Thanks again. 

I have 4 ceiling speakers, 2 fronts and 2 rears with each pair connected to a Sonos amp (so 2 amps total). I also have an Arc under the TV. Is it possible to have surround audio using all 4 ceiling speakers plus the Arc? So far I’ve been able to connect the Arc with the 2 rear ceiling speakers set up as surrounds, but can’t figure out how to connect the 2 fronts to the Arc and rears. Right now the 2 fronts are their own group, so I can play music through everything, but adding the fronts to the Tv setup doesn’t seem doable. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I have just set up a beam gen 2 with a pair of Sonos ones as surrounds. All is working well, however I would like to know, “if I turn off the surrounds in the Sonos app, does the surround content get switched back to the beam, or would I be missing that part of the sound”? I ask this as I would not always want them to be on. Thanks.

How can I connect my TV wirelessly to my Sonos?

Hi,Had a Beam connected for about 1 year with no issues,  always turn the TV off with the remote ( Sony Bravia)On turning it on this morning I didn't have any volume, on checking noticed it was set at zero so just turned it up, thinking nothing of it, upon turning the TV on this evening the same thing happened, I only have the Beam connected and that's via HDMI Arc.Also no Alexa.Any ideas ?Thanks.

ASTC 3.0/NextGen is broadcasting with Dobly AC-4 format and not AC-3 or Dobly Digital .  I read  AC-4 is framed based audio and is not compatible to AC3 , DD or DD plus. How would  my  Sonos ARC handle this audio?  Most of the major cities or market will have ASTC 3.0 broadcast this years.  Seems  Sonos as a premium product  would need to add Dolby AC-4 support ?
