I have a Sonos beam with 2 Play 1’s as rears in my minimalistic lounge setup. I have just purchased a 4K projector and I’m having a hell of a time getting it to connect to the Beam. No optical out on the projector. I would like to connect multiple inputs, Apple TV, PS4 and Sky Q. Does anyone actually have similar setup to offer advice on HDMI splitters etc?

Hi Badderbing
Please tell us the brand/model of your projector or post pictures of the front and rear and any other ports.
Hi thanks for the reply.
i’m lucky enough to have 2 projectors at present an Epson 5900 and a new Viewsonic Px 747. Neither have optical out or ARC. I think I will need a HDMI splitter/extractor but they never seem to work flawlessly. I just wondered if anyone as got the Beam to work well in this scenario or would I be best to avoid Sonos with a projector?
Hi Badderbing
Using a HDMI extractor similar to the shown here is your best option. However, in your case you’ll need one with multiple in-puts and for convivence a remote to switch inputs. Let us know if you have any questions regarding proper connections.
Cheers!
