Sonos Arc LPCM

15 replies

I own an Arc and a Sony UBP-X700 4K Blu Ray Player. I know how to set the Blu Ray player to output Bitstream so the Arc can decode Atmos, but what settings do I need to look for on the player and TV so the player will decode DTS and send LPCM through the TV to the Arc.

Thanks in advance for any help.

While playing the movie, what audio does your Sony player display on screen when you hit the DISPLAY button on the remote?

What specific movie are you testing?

And every speaker on the arc would work if in stereo?

Yes, they could all be playing sound but it would sound like all the channels are playing through each speaker rather than separated channels.

I think I discovered that the problem is the inability for my TV to pass through multi channel LPCM but only stereo PCM instead. Any other suggestions on getting multi channel PCM with DTS? Thanks so much for all your help!

Sorry to hear it’s a TV issue.

Other than purchasing a new TV, the only other option would be to get the HD Fury Arcana eARC device. It allows your Sony UHD player to bypass your TV and play audio directly to the Arc. I have an older TV and this is what I use to get Dolby Atmos and multichannel PCM audio from my all of my Blu-ray Discs. It’s $199 but worth every penny IMO.
