Home theater

Hello,We currently have the IKEA Symfonisk (Gen 2) bookshelf speakers as rear surrounds with our Beam G2. The Beam is connected via WiFi only (not Ethernet) so SonosNet shouldn’t be used.My question is, in this case, do the Symfonisk speakers just connect directly to my WiFi network? That’s what I’d guess is happening but the IP address that shows up in the Sonos app (under system) isn’t the same as what’s showing in my router management. I can’t find a matching IP address, in fact. Any info would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi, title says it all, my home theater is in a big room (actually living room and tv room) and my couch is about in the middle of this room.I’m considering replacing the two ones SL by two era 300, but I’d much prefer them being mounted on the wall behind me rather than sitting on stands right behind my couch (cables, etc…)So my question is: is 3 meters too far away from my couch?More over, I’ll have to put them a bit higher than ears level otherwise there will be some obstacles in the way (table and chairs of my living room), will it still be all right for sound?There will be plenty of room around each of them though.Thanks in advance for your replies and insights about my questions!

 Looking for advice for updating our home theater and music setup after our AVR recently died. I like Sonos convenience and sound, so I’m thinking about not replacing the AVR and instead going deeper into the Sonos ecosystem with an Arc for the TV room (probably shouldn’t really call this a “home theater!”). The room is open on the left to the kitchen, on the right is a patio door. It's about 13 feet from the 65" TV to the opposite wall. In other rooms in the house, I have a Sonos:Move, two Play:5’s, and two Play:3’s.Current setup: Anthem MRX-510 AV receiver that stopped working after nine years and isn’t worth repairing Klipsch Synergy F-30 towers, Synergy C-10 Center (all bought on Woot, not expensive) Klipsch SW-350 subwoofer Two Paradigm CI Elite E65-R in-ceiling speakers over the couch (12 feet from the TV, wall is behind couch). If I bought an Arc, could I use these? Vizio P65-C1 television (vintage 2016) -- will I need a new TV to leverage the features of the Arc? Source

Bonjour. je rencontre un décalage entre le son de mon home cinéma et la era 100 qui se trouve dans une autre pièce. Savez-vous comment régler ce problème svp?merci 

salve a tutti ho una playbar ma mi fa un ronzio dal lato sinistro della barra  anche se non in riproduzione sapete darmi una mano come risolvere ?

I don’t know what to do, at least once a week the ios app (I am in ios 16) loses connection to my Beam and nothing works with any consistency to fix it. I always check for updates. I always turn phone off and on. I always unplug Beam and replug. i never have problems with my wifi, my router, my tv or macbook connections to anything including the beam. The bugginess is clearly only with the ios app. It’s super frustrating. I just ordered one of the new gen speakers to add to my room but now I am extra concerned the issues will be even worse. Is there ANY way to fix this or at least know a sure fire method to reconnect without wasting an hour effing around?

Should we expect a more precise Trueplay (advanced tuning) update in S2 app for non-Era products? 

Hello:This is a very simple question which i  thought it was clear for me butsuddenly I have some doubts, if i have sonos arc + sub+ 2 Sonos 1 first gen ¿Am i getting dolby atmos even with that  pair of  old ones? Thanks!

HiI have a Sonos Playbase with Play1 (L+R) stereo pair and a Sonos Sub, I’ve had them since 2017. Recently noticed the sub didn’t appear to be working, although it is powered on and the Sonos setup recognises it as part of the surround sound system, no sound comes out of it.Went through diagnostics technician and they couldn’t see anything wrong. So I tried removing the Sub from the surround setup and added it to a separate pair of Play1(L+R). Success, it worked perfectly. Put it back on the playbase, it is added to the setup, but no sound comes out. Truesound says it can’t hear it either. Playbase recognises it is sending a channel to the sub if I toggle the sub on and off using the switch in the app. Is this a bug with the App or the playbase?Dave

Hi, hoping someone can help me here. I got a new tv and arc last week. The arc is connected to the tv ok, occasionally it shows on the app on its own (without me seeing the other speakers) but more often I can see the pre arc system with my speakers in various rooms, but no arc! How do I get everything in the same place so I can get surround sound set up with the arc, play music when tv isn’t on etc? Thanks in advance for your help! Iain    

I have update to 15.2 version. I have an beam connect to mini sub and 2 one sl. The problem is when a commute my surrounds from ambiental to full, the sound don’t change. It is the same. How can i do to work like before?

I can connect my beam 2.0 and to my sun mini. But when I try to connect my era 100 to the other 2 devices, I did not connect.

Could someone answer a question with Era300 trueplay please? According to the Era300 installation instructions it states that trueplay needs to be performed with the microphone switch on the back of the speaker in the on position? Is not the trueplay calibration determined by the IOS device you use to perform the trueplay function?thanks

Okay: I am interested in upgrading my current Play:3 surrounds to Era300’s.Price per Era300 €499, nice surprise: a set is €50 off to €948Bummer: when I use my upgrade-program-voucher: the price reverts to €999 Sure: I get it: the conditions say: ‘a voucher cannot be combined with other offers’ but it still does not make sense really that someone who bought 2 Play:300’s and upgrades to a set you lose the set-price.

Is the center woofer in the Era 100 turned off (disabled) when used as surrounds with Arc/Beam?  I’ve read that with the Era 300 the center woofer disabled when in surround mode.  Is this the case with the Era 100?

I'm considering getting 2 era 300 as rear/atmos for my arc and sub. I can only place them on the side walls above listening position. Any advice on exact placement. One thing that might be a gamechanger is my acoustic ceiling, which is more or less designed to stop sound waves. Will an upside down placement be better in this case?

Hello,I would appreciate some advice please. I am mounting my arc on the extendable Sanus mount within a recess in my media wall. I have read that the Sanus mount sags a little under the weight of the arc and so I was wondering how high an opening I need to allow the arc to move in and out freely. Thanks very much for any advice.  Nu

Hi, I just got a LG C2. I have a beam gen 1 and two One rear speakers. While playing Series X I'm getting 5.1 DD in the app, so that's good. However, out of interest I checked the sound options in the Xbox settings and I'm surprised to see that so many audio options are not available on the Series x with this tv. Is this due to me only having a beam gen one? If I upgrade in the future is this tv capable of playing uncompressed 7.1? Sound out is through earc and in advanced settings DTV is set to auto. Digital sound out is set to passthrough as I read to change that from auto. On Xbox, HDMI audio is set to Dolby Digital. Setting this to stereo uncompressed meant I could not get 5.1 sound. Here is a pic of what the Xbox says is unavailable with the tv settings.I'm just wondering if I've bought the wrong TV as far as future proofing goes? Thanks for any help!

I recently bought a new tv and want to transfer my beam 2. Got the beam 2 all connected to the new tv but it is not working. 

Hi all, I have strange behavior of my set (Beam gen 2 + 2x One as surrounds) while listening Spotify of watching movies.When music is playing ones per few minutes random one of the speakers are muting, dropping or volume goes down for about one second. It’s hard to catch exactly what is it, sometime I feel that music on one speaker is slowing. Anyway this is very irritating. It started more less a week ago, I thing just after upgrading software to the newest version. Does anyone has the same issue or know how to fix it?I’ve tried restart all speakers and wifi router.I haven’t contacted with Sonos support yet. 

Is it possible to use 2 Arc SL Sound bars as left and right fronts?  I do not have the ability to center the sound bar. Thought I would just get a second one and put one on each side. I would have to have an HDMI splitter pigtail, I guess to send signal to both from the same source, I guess?

Does anyone know if the Era 300 speaker stands as advertised at present have carpet spikes included on the base plate? There is no details on the website.

i got an arc, two subs and a sonos amp pushing two rear speakers. i want to use the era as front firing height channes - is that possibe? i could care less about rear upward firing channels.for such an expensive ass speaker, i assumed they would be clear about something like this but i can’t find literature on it anywhere. i also agree with the other poster that they are too big for atmos and practically a waste of their size when just used for atmos. 

I’m thinking of getting an Arc and a 65” TV but I’m failing at the first hurdle.  I cannot find a TV with enough room under the screen to fit an Arc underneath (without blocking the screen).  Even one of the Sonos marketing photos shows the Arc looking like it is slightly higher than the bottom of the TV.  I don’t want the hassle of wall mounting and don't really want to buy a bespoke stand as they seem a bit hit and miss.Considering how many people own Arcs surely there is a solution I’m overlooking?  The TV will be on a cabinet (much like most of the Sonos marketing photos).Thanks
