Projector + Apple TV 4 + Paybar Wireless Setup need help

Your projector is going to be too far away to run toslink cable from projector to the Playbar in front.

What your going to want is an HDMI switch with toslink output at the front of your room near the playbar and all your sources up front then too. So appleTV would hook to HDMI switch. HDMI out from switch run up to your projector. toslink cable from switch to the playbar. Then subs and Play:1s all wireless.

Thank you Chris!! With your HDMI switch, I have the front end solved.
Anyway I can get away from running a long HDMI cable from the projector in the back of the room to the front? I have no way of hiding the cable on the ceiling.

One silly question. Does it make any difference (to me as a consumer and to Sonos as a company?) to purchase the Sonos speaker system from the company directly or from Amazon?

There are wireless hdmi sender made by sever companies.

example one - there are cheaper ones

Price-wise, they should be the same. I would look at the return policy as well as the cost, if any, of returning the item. Sonos gives 45 days. I usually buy from Crutchfield, which has a 60 day return policy, but they charge $10 return postage.

Doesn't make a differ nice as far as I know. Yea return policies be about only difference.

I would assume Sonos makes more money with direct sales vs through retailer.

Looks like I have a project ready to go. Here's the recap.

Projector+HDMI transmitter ------>>>------ HDMI receiver plugs into an HDMI switch with toslink output, and then Paybar plugs into the switch. Once it's done, the rest of the Sonos will connect with the Playbar via it's own communication wordlessly.

The final question is the power outlet. On the back wall, the projector plugs into a power outlet. In the front, I think the switch and receiver both need power and I can hide them in a cabinet. But where do the Sonos speakers get their power from?

All Sonos speakers require an outlet.

Interesting! I'm also looking into a similar set-up; PacU, was this set up successful? (Also, I was born and raised in Palo Alto! 🙂
