Home theater

I have the Arc that connected to my old regular LED.It's great, but I brought it for better sound..now what happens when I buy a new TV, like LG C1 And the TV has dolby atmos! Now, I have dolby atmos in my new TV and my Arc soundbar.  I'm sorry but I don't get it, if the Arc is connected to the TV, then the TV sound is off.. of it's off I don't need a TV with  dolby atmos? Or I can use the all system to works as ONE (the TV with the Arc) ? Thanks in advance 

I have a Marantz 1080P projector with HDMI connections.  In order to use the ARC speaker which I bought to provide the sound for my projector, I had to buy a Fury HD Arcana that allows the Marantz HDMI cable to connect to the Fury HDMI-output and then the HDMI cable from the ARC goes to the E-arc output of the Fury. Then if I plug in my Apple TV HDMI cable directly into the Fury HDMI input, I can see the screen. However, when I try to use airplay in Apple TV to mirror my computer onto the projector screen, I have a picture but no sound. How can I get the sound to play from my computer on Sonos. I do have a Sonos connect that I am not using and I am wondering if that could be used in some way to bridge the sound from the computer to the Sonos app. Also, when I try to connect an HDMI cable from the Fury-input to the 5 port HDR switcher output and then connect the  Apple TV’s HDMI cable to the HDR switcher it doesn’t see the Apple TV. 

Hi everyone,I am unsure when did this happen but my Sonos Amp can decode LPCM multichannel. I realised this with my PS5 that was set up in LPCM and I was still getting Dolby Digital 5.1.To make sure I tried my Nintendo Switch and yes I now have surrounds working as surrounds, on the Sonos app it says Dolby Digital 5.1. My Sony X950h is set to audio pass through.Could any of the Sonos team member explains this?  Thank you!

We have a Sonos Arc, Sub and 2 Sonos One rear speakers and they sound amazing.But after adding a 2nd sub and calibrating Truplay the sound is not good at all.Voices are like they come from a small speaker in the TV, surround sound is noticably less and overall it does not sound like an improvment at all.I did Truplay calibration multiple times but that does not help.For now i removed the 2nd sub, recalibrated and now the sound is great again.Thinking of returning the 2nd sub….. 

Do the beam (gen 2 ) work with sub gen 2?

Hello fellow SONOS users,I recently got my Beam GEN2 (upgraded from GEN1).  A curious thing i noticed by accident was the left side of my Beam GEN2 is slightly warm (despite not being in use). I am wondering if anyone else noticed this with their new Beam?  Contrast this with in use conditions where the ambient temperature would rise and I did notice with my previous GEN1 (not burning hot but warm for sure).  I’m trying to figure out if this is a nuance specific to GEN2 or not. Appreciate users feedback.Thank you.

I have a tv mounted outside w/ two outdoor sonos/sonace speakers mounted on either side. I ran two speaker wires & two Cat6 wires in buried pipe from my basement 100 feet to my garage & then out to the tv/speakers. My modem & Amp are located in my basement.tv connected via one of the Cat6 cables to my modem speakers connected to new Sonos Amp in my basement one Cat6 cable currently not being usedI purposely did not run an HDMI cord from the basement to the tv as I was told it was too long of a run. Is there anyway to connect the amp (& ultimately speakers) to the tv using the one existing Cat6 cable? My garage is not insulated so I do not want to keep my amp in there - winter in Minnesota would kill it - not worried about the tv.  The amp is connected to my system currently & the speakers work great for music, etc., just not sure how to get tv audio through outdoor speakers at such a distance. I’ve read suggestions about adding an beam to the TV or another speaker,

I’ve used the guide to setup my home theatre , however, I’ve noticed that surround sound only works when are streaming music but not when are watching movie.  Has anyone experienced this? Would you like to hear how you resolved it, please 

I have a Sonos Arc hooked up to a Sony A80J via eARC. Volume control using the TV remote works fine while watching TV. However, it doesn’t work while streaming music on the Arc; I have to open the app to manage volume. I tried the Remote Control setup in the app but it doesn’t detect the TV remote. Any suggestions on what I need to do to fix this?

Hello,I would like to change my 2 One SL, acting as satellites with Playbase and Sub setup, to 2 Roams. Will they act surround speakers? Can I just swap them and expect everything to work properly?

I just hooked up a new Beam Gen 2 to my LG TV via HDMI ARC and when the TV turns on it takes about 5 seconds for sound to start playing out of the Beam. I’ve tried unplugging and rebooting everything that is connected (cable box, fire stick, beam, Tv) and changing HDMI cord with no success. Sonos support also couldn’t seem to fix it. Is this normal?  Does anyone have a fix for this?

Any plans of allowing a sonos speaker to be configured as a dedicated atmos height speaker?

Hello everyone,Two-part question.  I previously posted that I have a dated TV (Sharp) that while equipped with ARC, does not deliver DD5.1 to my Beam (neither first or second Gen).  I am interesting in replacing the TV, but have noticed some issues cropping up with LG to ARC.  My questions are:Is there a comprehensive list of SONOS compatible eARC TVs?  The closest I came to was off RTINGS.com, but that is not necessarily geared to SONOS compatible products.  Save for going to a big box store and trying to fiddle with things, there has to be a more efficient way to achieve a truly clean solution is the ARC a good surrogate measure for the BEAM Gen2?  I am asking the question in the context of ATMO so basically, if the TV works with ARC, does it stand to reason it will do similarly with BEAM Gen2?Many thanks for all opinions.Thank you.

Hi! I have a problem, that I try to solve for some time, try to search for information on the Internet but can not ... I have a projector that I want to install in the bedroom, and wifi speakers that are already installed in the room, the speakers have no additional connection in the device itself. I want the projector (or rather the streamer connected to the projector) to transmit the sound to the wifi speakers. Can't find any device that would give me such an answer. The streamer itself can only broadcast on Bluetooth. And I only find devices that broadcast on Bluetooth, and the speakers do not support it as I said. Maybe an app that will actually be installed on the streamer? Something else? Hey thanks! The speakers is from Sonos company, only wifi available...the streamer is mi box s, there's HDMI and aux available, and the projector is a cheap one, Blitzwolf bw-vp6.I need product that connect through aux and transmitted to wifi. Some adapter... i think that it needs to connect to

So my Sony XBR55 X900E will only send audio through the built in speakers. I have a HD Fury setup with AppleTV 4K, Nvidia Shield, & Firestick all work like they should. Is this proper or did I mess something up? 

Once I get my Beam Gen 2 setup, do I need to do anything to remove my original Beam from association with my account to free it up for another happy home?

Can i make this setup working Center Speaker  - Arc Rear Speaker - One SL - R/L Subwoofer - Sonos Sub Mid Above Sound - Sonance in celling speaker - pair Rear above sound - Sonance in celling speaker - Pair    Can I make this setup or not ? or do I have to use 3rd party AVR like Denon or ?if yes then I have to use 2 Sonos Amp for in celling speaker or just 1 AMP.   Please Suggest

We have 4 in-ceiling speakers and 2 Sonos Amps.  After connecting the surround speakers we are no longer receiving sound from the left and right front speakers.  I’m not sure where I went wrong.  Any help is appreciated!

Hello SONOS community,I have a BEAM Gen2 w/ S2 app, Sub Gen3, Apple TV 4K (first generation), and a Sharp LE832 42” TV.I have tried connecting the BEAM to the TV’s ARC and messed around with the TV’s audio settings.  At best, I can get Stereo PCM when connected in this way.  If I ‘force’ the ATV to use Dolby Digital 5.1 output, this configuration does not produce any sound.I have invested in an HDMI splitter and connection via digital optical out DOES give me Dolby Digital 5.1 (again, when forced from ATV).  For sure, a first world problem, but I would like to take advantage of ARC but I am beginning to think I am resigned to accept that my TV’s ARC does not carry a compatible Dolby signal.  I realize a simple solution would be to buy a new TV, but I am hoping to hold out a bit longer.I appreciate any observations/suggestions.Thank you.

After nearly a year of ownership on our Arc SL we’ve decided to get a new TV. I’m looking at the Vizio M65. According to their site, the display has HDMI 2.1, but according to some reviews its really only HDMI 2.0b or something like that. From a previous discussion I believe someone said that on HDMI 2.0 you can get Atmos but its only Dolby Digital Plus, not True HD, so its compressed. Is this true? Or will True HD Atmos play through eARC on HDMI 2.0? Also, I’ve read elsewhere that the Apple TV 4k (5th or current generation) will not support True HD Atmos, only compressed DD+, regardless of the HDMI connection. Is this true?

Tengo un equipo sonos 5.1 compuesto por beam, sub y 2 sonos one. Mi pregunta es la siguiente: ¿Es posible ampliar el equipo con 2 altavoces delanteros symfonisk al lado de la barra para que suene más fuerte delante?? ¿Sonos lo permite?? ¿¿Funcionaría bien? Muchas graciasUN saludo

Hi there :) Last year I upgraded from Beam to Arc, and I absolutely love it <3 However, this year I was thinking on either upgrading the system with the Subwoofer or buying a turntable and use it with the Arc...(which I’ve already seen it would be difficult/expensive and the best option would be going with Sonos Five) But, what if I can do both? Would it be possible, or a good choice, to buy 1 Five and….Use it as rear to the TV system - Would I be able to use Atmos still? Connect it to a turntable, I understand I could create a group with Arc to listen to music right?I know 2 Five would be the best, but maybe I can start with 1 and later add the second haha Thanks!!!!

Subject says it all - Beam (Gen 2) what comes in the box?I would like to shop for optical cables (etc) before it arrives.thanks!~P

So I have a sonos beam connected to my Samsung smart tv via hdmi arc and I have a chromecast connected to the TV via hdmi. I stream movies using apps such as Netflix and others. Using this setup I only get pcm stereo sound and no 5.1 dolby digital with chromecast. When I use native app netflix installed on the TV 5.1 dolby digital works. We all know this by now. But my question is, if I buy a TV with built in chromecast, will 5.1 dolby digital work with my sonos beamthen?
