Sonos Arc & DTS via PCM on Panasonic UB9000....

I have had a Sonos Arc for around 2 weeks now & its not fully setup for surround sound (I'm still waiting for my One SL's to be shipped) I knew the issues with the Arc & its incompatibility with DTS, however I came across this article which states that if I turn DTS/DTS-HD to PCM on my Panasonic UB9000, my eARC TV will be able to convert DTS/DTS-HD audio to Dolby Digital 5.1. Am I reading this correctly & has anyone tried this?

 

​DTS via PCM?​​​

Thanks for the links….

 

Do you find switchers good quality or buggy?

The ROOFULL switch I have works great 98% of the time. I have it programmed to switch inputs using my Harmony remote/hub. Every now and then, I have to reboot the switch or manually switch inputs using the ROOFULL’s remote. But overall, I am pleased with how it works connected to my Roku Ultra, Apple TV 4K, and Panasonic UHD player.

Thanks for the info.

 

Looks like I will have to get one imported from the US, as there are none available in the UK….

I purchase the Roofull switch from Amazon & it arrived today, but I can’t get it to work at all.

 

I have followed the setup shown on the HD Fury website, yet nothing will turn on the TV?

 

I have the HDMI in from the Arcana plugged into the Roofull HDMI out.

 

Then Sky Q into HDMI IN 1 & the Panasonic UHD plugged into HDMI IN 2 both on the Roofull switch.

 

Nothing will turn on?

 

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks.

Does the ROOFULL seem to be getting power? How are you powering it? Have you switched the ROOFULL to the correct input using the remote?

The Roofull is getting power, as I can switch between inputs with the remote & by pressing the button.

 

I have purchased a UK plug adaptor with the same spec as the US plug.

 

I have also swapped the HDMI cables into the different inputs & still no signal from Sky or the UHD player??

 

Everything is on, but nothing is switching correctly. I can hear sound coming through the Arc, when the Sky is switched on, but no picture, just whatever channel the terrestrial TV is showing?

Is the TV set to the correct HDMI input?

The HDMI input on the TV is set to HDMI 3 (eARC) which is where the HDMI out from the Arcana is plugged in?

Try unplugging everything from power for a couple of minutes and test again.

I have the Sonos Arc connected to the Arcana eARC out & the HDMI out connected to the HDMI 3 eARC on the TV. 
 

Is this correct?
