Two separate home theater rooms

I set up a small system for my living room that I intend to grow. I loved it so much that bought a second system, this time with the arc ultra with the intention of passing the Beam set-up to my husband for his TV room upstairs. This is what I have:

Living Room

-1 Arc Ultra

-2 Era 100s

-1 Mini Sub

LG C5 TV

Upstairs TV Room

-1 Beam 2

-2 Era 100s

-1 Mini Sub

LG C4

My router is in the living room And it’s the standard router supplied by my cable company and everything is wireless.

The controller is on my phone and that’s where I’d like to keep it. The sound bar was originally intended Improve voice clarity for my husband so I could keep buying him at a tolerable range for me when we watch TV together. and also like the option for us to be able to watch TV separately. My first challenge is that audio from his system was playing downstairs in the living room. That tells me something’s wrong and before I bang my head against the wall I wanted to ask for help. I also read that there’s an issue between the arc and my LG C4 TV so I’d appreciate any guidance on suggestions for a fix with that because that will be my next challenge.

I went through all settings on the TV and Tivo remote, removed the sub and surrounds from the room, then unplugged all devices, including the TV. When I powered it back up, I rebonded the arc, mini sub and era 100s and now the living room system works perfectly. The issue with the TIVO remote was that IR was not checked in the remote settings. It worked with the beam set up before I swapped the beam for the arc so not sure what happened there.
As a newer Sonos user, I was second guessing everything. Your input helped me take a step back, reassess and try again. Next step is going through the same process upstairs with the beam, mini and era 100. I appreciate all of your support.

For what it’s worth (nothing at all), I’m running two ‘home theater’ rooms in my home, I have no issues whatsoever. Sounds like you’re on the road to a good setup.
