home theatre

Hi - I have a new portable projector and screen for occasional use. How can I set up theatre sound with minimal wires? Is Bluetooth ok ? Must I have a cable stretching from the projector to  a soundbar beneath the screen ? I can only see them on sale about   about a meter long ? Can a soundbar be placed anywhere closer to the viewer /  projector and still create atmos effects ?  Eg to my left or right not face on ?

AIUI you’ll need eARC into a soundbar to handle Atmos. If so, that’s going to force you to cable from the projector if that’s your audio source?
Frankly, it seems a lot of hassle for a portable system for occasional use. Bluetooth and stereo seems much easier?

Thank you so much for your quick reply. 
 

I agree totally that this is becoming more difficult than I had hoped 

Bluetooth won’t atmos Will it ? 
 

if I buy for the Bluetooth option what do I buy ? Any suggestions ? 

Or is there a WiFi option ?
