Home theater

Hi, we are moving and the new home lends itself to the in-ceiling speakers for home theater. right now, i have sonos play bar and sonos play:1’s as back speakers.  How would i connect the playbar and amp together for the sound.  Also, could i put the amp in another room and connect to playbar?  i am thinking of putting in room where the cabling runs will terminate.

Hello everyone,I have an issue with my HTPC only being able to output Stereo PCM.Would you kindly advise what could help to solve the issue so that I could play games on HTPC getting full surround effect via LPCM or at least Dolby Digital Live? I have the following configuration:PC (NVIDIA 2070 Super) >> HDMI >> TV (Panasonic VIERA TX-55AS640E >> Sonos Arc (HDMI Arc) + 2x Sonos One SLFrom what I read so far I believe my issue is that my TV can’t pass the signal further.Some additional comments:Would a TV with an eARC solve the issue? Is there any other option for how to work around this? E.g. I’ve read about editing EDID, getting a soundcard, getting HDMI/optical switch, running both HDMI and optical cable (not sure if this is applicable for non-receiver setup with Sonos Arc though) Streaming movies from PC via DLNA to TV enables me to receive Dolby Digital 5.1 (this is not applicable to gaming though) Streaming Netflix from TV’s app enables me to receive Dolby Digita

Just purchased a Sonos arc and about to buy a Samsung frame TV i am hearing that the arc won’t work properly with this tv . Can anyone advise . Thanks 

I have a new setup.  Sonos Arc + Sonos ceiling rears and Sonos sub with Sonos Amp.  Watching Freeview programs from TV, sound fine.  Watching Netflix from Roku stick via Arcana sound greatLast night watched Ammonite from TV Curzon Home and the sound was slightly echoey.  Why would that be?  Is there a cure for next time?Thanks

Hi, Been reading a few comments about about sound issues and Atmos availability on Samsung. Before I unbox this could someone give me a definitive answer for a UK based customer Will I get full Dolby Atmos functionality on a Samsung Q90T with native apps? I have the TV sitting in front of me, but if its not ready to go out the box I may send it back for a TV that is fully compatible.

I have seen lots of posts about sonos arc disconnecting from the samsung tv’s when you turn off the tv which mean you have to pull out the cables and reconnecting the soundbar everytime you turn on the tv. This also is the issue at my place, but i have an old samsung tv that doesnt get updated anymore. Can someone confirm if this is fixed or not? im thinking about buying the new Neo qled (qn95A) tv when it releases but i want to be sure i can connect my sonos arc without issues before buying.

Hey guys,  I have a Sonos Connect that I use along with my home theater setup. I used to have a Harmon/Kardon AVR245 receiver, but it finally died on me so I had to get a replacement. I bought a Sony STRDH790 receiver and I noticed that it causes a delay when listening with my other Sonos speakers. I tried Pure Direct mode on the receiver and while that does eliminate the delay, it does not utilize the entire 7.1 system. After researching the issue on here I saw that this is a result of the way that Sonos streams the audio. My previous receiver did not have this same delay, so I’m assuming there are some other receivers that don’t cause any delays.  Can anyone recommend a receiver that does not have this delay? I primarily use my Connect alongside my other speakers in neighboring rooms so the delay is very noticeable. Thank you!

Hi guys, sorry for the medium long read and probably lack of correct terminology.. Since the coronavirus pandemic started a lot of (live) music is being streamed over various channels. When I stream this to my TV I obviously do this to enjoy the music, along with the visuals provided. My 5.1 set then only pushes the sound via the beam, with only certain frequencies or sounds popping up from the back speakers. While actually playing music from a streaming service like Spotify, the sound is sublime, but when listening to music from a video or tv this way, it’s quite disappointing. I know there are more topics addressing the same technical issue, with a logic explanation that when you watch ‘tv’ it’s not needed to have full stereo when the tv decoder or whatever is used also distributes 5.1, which makes sense. But the need from me as a user, and maybe others has changed over the past year; looking for great sound when streaming live or recorders music content from whatever source.  I woul

Hello,I just bought the new Sonos Amp.  I want to use for our tv surround system with 2 pairs of in wall speakers, a Sonos sound bar and the Sub.The room is quite large (20’x24’) with cathedral ceilings.  Two (2) speakers are located on both sides in the lowest part of the ceiling, a few feet in the back of the sitting area.  I plan to have 2 other speakers (Canton) each sides above the tv set.Is that a possible and interesting setup for our tv surround system ?Regards.

Currently have my TV running into a Sonos Amp, running a 2.1 setup with a third party subwoofer.Just ordered a pair of One SLs to act as rear speakers, but have since read that this would cause the subwoofer output to be disabled - although the information seems unclear, as a lot of people with this issue seem to be using the amp itself to power generic rears directly along with something like a Beam up front (the argument being that in this setup, the amp isn’t getting sent the sub signal, which is fair).However in my case, the Sonos Amp would be getting directly fed a full range HDMI signal, and passing the rear signal on to the Ones. I can’t see any reason why it would need to disable the sub output in this scenario.So to clear up:If I have my TV running into a Sonos Amp, which is wired up to a pair of bookshelf speakers, and a third party subwoofer on the sub out, will the subwoofer output be disabled if I add a pair of Sonos Ones to act as rear speakers?

I have a Sony X950-h and a Sonos arc. I set the eArc mode on the TV to auto. Now whatever content I play through streaming services it says in the Sonos app that it is playing in Dolby Atmos, even with shows that I know for a fact are not in Atmos. Does anyone know why that is? If I turn the eArc mode off it then displays in the app the true audio however it will only then play Atmos content with Dolby digital plus. I just want to make sure that I am truly getting Atmos with Atmos compatible programs. Thank you!

We have a Humax that feeds our Samsung TV which then feeds via optical our Sonos Beam.  We are finding that gradually day-by-day, we have to turn the volume on the Humax higher and higher. Eventually we can go no higher and so we manually adjust the sound level using the control on the Beam to raise the volume. Then we can then reduce the sound level from the Humax.  So it seems as if the Beam gradually decides by itself t become less and less ‘sensitive’.

Hi,I opened this topic to know how to connect a turntable to a sonos home teather consisting of sonos beam and two sonos one SL ( later I will also buy the sonos sub ).It seems to me that I can connect a turntable to both an Sonos Port and a Sonos Amp but it is not clear to me which one to buy.I have this questions.If I decide to buy a third-party receiver ( such as Onkyo, Denon or Yamaha ) and connect the turntable to the receiver, then how do I connect the amplifier to my Sonos products?If I bought a Pro-Ject Carbon turntable instead, how do I connect the turntable to my Sonos products?Kind regards

I’m a proud new owner of a Sonos Move, an iPhone owner and am having questions syncing it with my original HomePod:1. I am able to have them sync together under the HomeKit app. I have them both under the same “room” in the app. But I have to manually toggle airplay 2 every single time to get them to play together. Is there an easier way to get this done (without having to go through the annoying steps to turn both of them at the same time?)2. Any hope of getting them to play a stereo pair yet or in the future?3. is it possible to get a subwoofer and have all 3 synced together?

Has anyone tried upgrading from the Arc hdmi cable supplied by Sonos as a way to achieve Atmos signal through the Arc?

Bonjour, j'ai une barre de son Sonos Beam connectée en ARC à ma télé Samsung.J'ai ajouté pour le soir, des écouteurs bluetooth en périphérique de sortie de son, mais lorsque je choisis cette sortie, cela permute automatiquement sur la barre de son après 3 secondes. Il ne reste donc jamais sur les écouteurs, et se remet tout seul sur le son de la Sonos.Ce que j'ai déjà tenté : - désactiver "lecture automatique" depuis l'application sonos, pour la barre de son, mais ça ne change rien.Si quelqu'un a une idée ? merci 

New to the Sonos game. Currently have a beam and 2x ones in a surround set up in my living room.  wondering if it is possible to play audio on just one of my ones in the set up individually? Or does it have to play in the full set up. 

I bought a Sonos Beam sound bar two days ago.  I love its robust sweet sound and voice clarity.  I was disappointed when I brought it home and connected to my television.  I am using an HDMI arc cable for connection.  I chose not to load any apps on the sound bar because all I watch/hear is on my internet driven television.  As you know, the sound bar’s’s volume is driven by the television remote..  Here is the issue:  When I open Netflix, Prime Video and Disney Plus apps, and watch a movie, I need to turn the volume on the tv almost all the way to the max to get almost adequate sound coming out of sound bar.  When I open my You Tube, Apple TV, ABC News Live, CBS All Access and Spotify, I get a range of adequate volume depending on the app.  Spotify plays perfect at a volume level of 20 out of 100;  You Tube needs to be upped to about 40/100; Apple TV and the news apps need to be in the 50 out of 100 volume range.  I also have a Sony Blu Ray player that is connected to the television v

Hi,is there any cheaper alternative for hdfury arcana. I am using an old 2010 model sony tv which has an ARC port but unfortunately do not support dolby digital plus. My amazon fire tv stick which supports dolby digital plus hence i can enjoy atmos content on my sonos arc. Not in a position to spend money for a new tv hence looking for a cheaper option. Even an ARC output with dolby digital plus support is fine fo my requirements. Hdfury arcana is not locally available in New Zealand and its too expensive for me. Thanks in advance.

I’ve had an odd problem for just over a week now in that when I turn the LG 77CX on there’s a split second of sound from the Arc and then the volume immediately goes to “0” and the Arc volume has to be turned up again after which everything is fine. This happens virtually every time the TV is turned on, playing audio/music only, the Arc works fine. It’s definitely a problem with the Arc as unplugging the TV to Arc EARC cable and then turning the TV on works fine as audio reverts back to the TV internal speakers without the need to adjust the volume. I’ve had the Arc since release and not had this problem before, any helpful advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
