ARC reboot!

is there a redo / reboot for ARC setup?

can I start all over since I screwed up on the original setup process and created an extra room I did not mean to?

can you delete the ARC from your system and try to set it up all over again as a brand new ARC to be added to your system?

Thank you

Yes kitchen has two sonos ceiling speakers connected to already. I did that before I had the ARC and the sub.

So can I get rid of these rooms and the set up and start over with ARC then sub then ceiling speakers in one room?

I assume I do not need to mess with other 2 rooms. All the got is ceiling and outdoor sonos speakers

Thank you

Just follow Ken’s direction above.

You don’t ‘get rid of’ the rooms, you just set them up for a different purpose. You’d ‘add surrounds’ in the controller for the Arc, and then it would ask you if you want to use an existing Amp. Then you would, as suggested, just rename the other room. No need to do any resets of any devices.

Ok I will try

I guess I am confused to how to reassociate the Amp of kitchen to kitchen 2

Same for ceiling speakers for kitchen to kitchen 2

So they are all group as surround in one room

With the ARC

As ratty suggested, go back and read Ken’s post.

Be careful with terminology. In Sonos parlance, grouping is the grouping of two rooms together to play the same source. What you want is bonding, as in bonding the surrounds to the Arc. Grouping is dynamic and easily done on the fly, bonding requires setup and is meant to be semi-permanent.

You have to start from the Arc and bond the Amp to it as surrounds. You cannot add the Arc to the Amp.

All you have to do with the ceiling speakers is wire them to the Amp. They are not Sonos speakers.

Just follow Ken's instructions.
