Updates 12/10/2024 Still No TrueCinema

Another complete round of hardware and software updates today. Including Ace update. At least everything updated on the first pass and EQ settings were not auto-reset, so maybe Sonos deserves a little credit.

Unfortunately this update still does not reflect deployment of TrueCinema on the Ace. And I see no changes to the UI on iOS. 

Maybe there's something for others and Android users....

I echo the disappointment regarding the silence surrounding True Cinema.  If I remember correctly it seemed to be a big selling factor at launch of the Ace.  I was aware when I ordered mine that it was ‘coming soon’ and I almost held off until it was launched.  

I mainly use the Ace for watching movies when my family are in bed and hoped it would make a good job of replicating my arc, sub and era 300 setup.  Overall I would say it does a produce a good experience for movies but could be far more ‘spacious’ and doesn't compare to my arc setup.

Unless I’m missing something I can't see any mention of True Cinema when viewing the Ace on the Sonos site anymore.

I fear it has been scraped and those of us that did consider it a factor in our purchase will continue to be short changed by Sonos.

 

There's a library of recorded Live video sessions. Here's a link to the Ace-focused video from June 2024. A relatively detailed discussion of TrueCinema starts around 14 minutes. I was messaged in December from a forum monitor quasi Sonos rep that they're still working on it, but I don't have much hope.

Only Sonos folks here are clearly identified in their user information. 

Where they are varies, you might check their profile data to see if that is shown.

If you mean why haven't they responded to you, possibly they have nothing new to say.
