Which Sonos products is best for ViewSonic X10-4K.

I’m looking for advice on which Sonos product I could use with ViewSonic X10-4K - a wireless connection doesn’t seem to work, so I believe I’d rely on cable connection? I’d appreciate any help, thank you.

This article mentions the following:

“The Beam comes with a adapter for use with optical, and your projector has an optical output. So you should be able to connect the 2 sources to the projector with the projector optical connected to the Beam.”

So, I guess that would work?


Exactly.

Hi all,

 

I  looking at the same setup Viewsonic X10 4K with Sonos Arc, Sub gen 3 and two One/One SL as rear speakers.

 

I’m in the process of building a home theatre room, so any input on the kind of cables I’d need will be greatly appreciated.

 

I though we can directly hook X10 to arc but HDMI cable, is that not the case ?

 

Thanks in advance.

No I am afraid that is not the case. The Arc needs an HDMI-ARC signal, not an HDMI signal, and generally only TVs have HDMI-ARC connections, and projectors don't.

Can I perhaps use Beam with Sub gen3 and two Ones as rears...?

You can, but not by an HDMI connection from projector to the Beam. As with the Arc, an optical cable plus the adapter will work.

I was answering only your final question.
