How do I setup a TV to transmit to Sonos wirelessly instead os by cable?

Hi team,I’ve ordered a pair of ERA300s to use as surrounds with my Arc and sub. I was planning of mounting them at regular listening height on the wall behind my couch. Then I read that they can also be placed nearer the ceiling upside down and I can easily mount them there too.So I have a choice. Which is the best position to mount them or doesn’t it matter.cheers, Dave

With limited funds which is the best combination of speakers to pair with my SONOS Beam 2:   Two ERA 100’s   One ERA 300   One SUB MiniThank you,Tom

Please please help before I throw this crap out the window.Sub constantly disconnects from sub, possibly from router reset, I don't know. Generally turning this junk off and back on resets it all fine. Tonight, oh my god what a palaver. Router has been reset 3 times. Sub reset 5 times. Playbar reset 4 times. Variations of unplugging. I've had 3 different fault messages. Eventually found " Wireless connection not suitable for this playbar. "Reset everything. Uninstall app, reinstall. Reconnect all components. It recognises both items, but won't allow me to add the sub to the room( playbar) as it can't find it ??? Seriously? I've been at this an hour now. Pressing buttons, resetting this, resetting that, all different orders. The Wireless isn't suitable bit has gone, both speakers are on the app, but they don't recognise each other. All been fine for 3 years except all these disconnects but this one takes the biscuit

So my remote-not-working issue so far appears to be different than everyone elses.  My Down volume control has stopped working, though Up still works.  I’m pretty comfortable it’s not hardware for two reasons:I have both my cable remote and a different 3rd party remote configured to do the same up/down volume, and Down volume stopped working for both of them at the same time.  Which suggests to me that the problem is on the Sonos side, not the remote side. If I go to setup a new remote and re-do this one, it asks me to press Up Volume.  When I press Up volume on the remote, the light on the Playbar blinks and Sonos acknowledges the Up press, and says I’m ready to use my remote.  I then try to use the remote, and Up still does not work, but Down still does.Any suggestions? 

I have just updated my old Yamaha AVR for a Denon 2800. My TV output is to a projector and Sonos Playbar (+Sub + 2x Play1). I have used an HDMI splitter for the past six year to separate the output from the AVR into video to the projector via an HDMI cable and the audio to the Playbar via an optical cable.When I installed the new Denon AVR I intended to use the same projector and Sonos system so connected to the two, via the same splitter box, to the Denon output as I had it previously. The picture quality is fine but I cannot get the sound to work at all.I have spoken to both Denon and Sonos technical support but neither are able to help or suggest what I might try. Can anyone in this community help please?Thanks

Why are the voice and picture so out of sync on my Sonos Arc and Samsung QN90 TV

Hi,  recently upgraded my system and got 2x era 300 to replace my Sonos ones.  I have an arc, sub and era 300s and every so often they keep going really quiet for like a second or two.  I have submit the diagnosis 1098022638 within 10 mins of it happening. Didn’t happen before on my previous set up.  thanks. 

A great feature for my own personal use and business users (thinking specifically of sports bars in this instance) of Sonos would be to have the television-connected speakers automatically switch to music when television commercials start, and back to the television audio once the game starts again. Please let me know when this update is available, with my sincere thanks.   

Sonos beam got disconnected from my Panasonic tv

I am using a DELL u2720qm as a monitor and this monitor has only 3.5mm audio output.How to connect the 3.5mm audio output jack to the sonos beam gen2?

Hi there,We have a room with two Sonos amps, one for front pair of ceiling speakers and one amp for rear ceiling speakers and a Sonos Sub configured for 4.1 surround sound, all with wired ethernetIs there a Sonos product availlable (preferably with wired ethernet port) that could drop into this system to act as centre speaker to enable 5.1 surround sound? 

hello all, Im excited to receive my first Sonos system in a few days, comprising of  Sonos arc, sub mini and 2 rear 100’s. I’m looking for opinions on best location to put the rears, i will predominantly be watching films but i do listen to quite a bit of music so i’m wondering if spacing them out wider would be better? Ive attached a photo for reference, would the blue option be better than the red band the speakers would be more spaced out? thanks for your help! Gordon. 

I have been trying to connect my play base to the S2 since being out of the country travelling. It is flashing green but is not discoverable on either app. This seems to be a problem with Playbases having looked at threads. Is there a fix now? 

Hi all,Maybe not the best place to ask this but I’m having problems with my arc and my LG C1 using the magic remote. It used to work fine but since I changed my wall mount I can’t seem to get the volume to work properly. I think it’s because in Universal Control Settings the audio is set to is set to headphones. For the life of me I can’t seem to change it to say eArc. Anyone know how to change that or offer some screen shots of your settings?Even the Sonos app doesn’t connect to the tv anymore or allow for me to connect to the magic remote.  

I have a Sonos Arc in conjunction with a Sony XR-55A83J and I have two problems:1) The volume can only be scrolled in increments of multiples of two (sometimes 18,20,22, sometimes 21, 23, 25, it maby depends on my previous settings of volume on phone), and sometimes I can't even see the slider even when the volume is increased or decreased.2) Worse thing - it happens that once I play music on my phone from Spotify on the Sonos ARC, then randomly the sound from the TV doesn't come through. It's completely silent, it doesn't help even when I try to fiddle with all the sound settings on the TV, switch the output to TV and back. The TV even switches itself to that "Audio system" input, but it remains completely silent. The only thing that works is physically unplugging the Sonos from the power outlet.

I have soundbar Ray and 2xEra100. I set them as a surrounds but for listening music I want hear only stereo from era100. Is it possible to turn off Ray and play only stereo from Era100 ? I know there is an option to set them +15, but the Ray still plays

Hi all,Am contemplating upgrading to a Sonos home theatre set up. The plan is to get a Beam and two Era100s.I have a turntable with built in preamp and want to connect to the system. I’ve seen that I can connect to an Era100 with line-in but that the Era100 cannot be used as part of the home theatre set up.Its unclear if this is permanently or does it mean it switches when the source changes?Ideally, I would like the home theatre set up to link to phone/tv etc most of the time but when I use the turntable, the whole set up will switch to play from that source (via line in). Is this possible?Hope that makes sense, all help appreciated.Thanks!

Will a beam connected via HDMI to a tv with  two Sonos ones in a stereo pair connected to the Beam play TV sound through all 3 devices or will it only come through the beam as that is the only direct connection to the TV ?Ive got a pair of Sonos ones currently and as there is no option to use them as TV speakers, im currently using an Apple TV and using them via airplay but even that still some apps don't support airplay and sound only works through TV speakers so was wonder if I got a beam with that be able to use all 3 and have TV sound coming from the lot 

Anyone having problems with random disconnection of a sub after adding a new speaker?I had an Arc + Sub Mini in a living room, same location as strong wifi router, working fine for weeks. Added an Era 300 to another room this week, not set up as surrounds. Now after 2 hours of playing, the sub will randomly disconnect. App shows a red dot on the room, “Sub Mini - Not Connected.” Troubleshooting menu doesn’t work; can’t find the sub at all, as if it’s disappeared or powered off. I have to factory reset it, then reconnect it. Works fine for another hour or two, playing music with the Era and Arc, then disappears again, starting the factory reset process over. Never happened before adding the Era. No LED light when it disconnects, and my phone is within 10 feet when I’m trying unsuccessfully to reconnect. Anyone else? Thanks!

I have a BenQ W2700 connected to a Sonos Arc via HDMI. Most of the time I watch via Amazon TV Stick (the 4K version, if that matters) or via laptop (only with Sky X) connected with HDMI on streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney and Sky X. Unfortunately, I have the problem that every now and then the picture goes black, the sound stops, the projector then says something like "Searching Input" and the picture reappears after about 10 seconds and the sound reappears after about 30-45 seconds. The whole thing doesn't happen that often, I would say on average about 1-2 times per 4-5 hours of watching. Yesterday, however, I was watching something on Sky X with friends via my laptop and it really did happen every 20 minutes, which is of course not so much fun. The first 1-2 times the sound continued as described above, but after that the sound always jumped back to the laptop and I don't know if it's because of the Sky X app on MacOS, but I always have to restart Sky so that th

Hello, I come for an advice - does this setup for TV sound system (Dolby Atmos) makes sense to you (incl. 2x Amp)? Would you change anything? Size of the room is 5x6m but it is part of huge room incl. kitchen and dining room on the right side (total of +- 75m2). In-walls and In-ceilings are already installed, the rest I can adjust.Thank you!! 

I’ve tested this multiple times with different audio channel checks and changing the level of the surround in the Sonos app only affects the side surround channels, not the rear surround channels.I’ve unpaired and repaired the Era 300s to the setup and no matter whatever way I try it, the rear surround channels do not change volume.I find the rear channels much too quiet and there’s seemingly no way to change it. I’m not sure how no one else has mentioned this (unless I missed it).I’ve done it with and without Trueplay, different channel checks, unpaired and repaired surrounds, etc. The rear surround channels will not change volume unless I raise overall volume which then of course still leaves them quieter relative to everything else.Please tell me someone else has noticed this. I’m on 15.2 so it’s not like I’m missing a software update.Set up is Arc, Sub x2, 300 x2. Any help or input is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, i have dropouts with my Sonos Arc when watching an Atmos Movie. The dropouts happen sometimes 2x in 10s and then sometimes once every other minute. But i have around 30-50 dropouts in a 45min episode which is obviously VERY annoying. I already tried the steps from the https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/reduce-wireless-interference article. The system is up to date. I also created a diagnostic report (diagnostic number: 617792448). Can the sonos support maybe tell me what causes the dropouts? Thanks

Hello,I am currently using Sonos AMP (current gen) to power a set of floor-standing Tower speakers.My home audio production studio (Yamaha monitors + KRK sub) is arranged in the same space as the TV system, and I’d like to find a way to send audio from AMP to that system without having to spend $400+ on a Port.Is there a method using a line level converter that I could send speaker level signal from AMP to my passive speakers, while also sending line level input to my active monitors?When purchasing Amp I was intending to use Amp’s line input to join the systems together, but the audio delay makes this method unusable.Any assistance / insights are appreciated. Thanks!
