Home theater

Hello,I’m in the process of wiring up an addition and was wondering if the setup in the below file would work or is overkill.  I’m looking to get either 4.1 without the Beam or 5.1 if possible with the Beam.  Great RoomThe idea would be to connect 2 in-ceiling and 2 in-wall speakers to 1 AMP for front left and right (1 wall and 1 ceiling for each channel), 2 in-ceiling and 2 in-wall speakers to 1 AMP for rear left and right, 1 Beam (not necessarily for center), and 1 Sonos Sub.  The space is 27’x20’ with a 17’ cathedral ceiling.  Any input or advice is appreciated! 

I am trying to control the volume on my ARC + Connect AMP via Apple TV remote. I cant seem to group them together. When I adjust the volume on the remote, it would just control the volume for the arc. Any suggestions? My current setup is Sonos Arc connected to Samsung Tv via ARC Hdmi cable and Apple TV is connected to HDMI 2 on the Samsung. Connect AMP is only connected to a Subwoofer and I have the play 1’s setup for surround. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks

I have a Move, Roam SL, Play 1, and two Play 3’s connected to my home wifi (5g) but the Beam Gen 2 won’t connect. It doesn’t even see the network. I’ve been through tech support 3 times and the Beam still won’t see or connect to the network even after I manually put in the network name and password.  The Beam is a new device.Anyone have any suggestions?

The Playbar hooked to my tv via optical will cut out when Hulu goes to commercial and then doesn’t come back. Turning the tv off and on fixes it but it is pretty annoying. I’ve updated, changed cables, and it’s done it through different 2 Roku devices. thought?

Hey guys, I know this has been asked a lot of times but also read a lot of different opinions so I wanted to ask myself. I’m getting a Sonos One SL pair for my Sonos Beam Gen2 this weekend and was wondering where to place them, since I need to mountwall them (that’s the only option I can afford where I live, no IKEA here sadly).The setup is for my bedroom, which is a small one (3x3m~) so my wall is 3m, and my bed is kinda in the middle of it (can move it a bit). I’m mostly having thoughts on the height and distance from my bed and thinking of moving my hearing position a little to the front of my bed to have the speaks behind me for a “better” surround experience.This wall is where they will be mounted, thank you very much for your time and sorry for asking this question once more.https://ibb.co/vLZmPJh - My room

I have a Philips 50PUS7505/12 and just purchased a Beam Gen 2 which is connected via HDMI ARC.I have set the TV settings to allow CEC and ARC on. I have set Philips TV to Multichannel (Bypass) and everything is working perfectly from my Fire TV 4K Max.  however every so often, I think when I play Dolby atmos films on fire tv apps (Apple TV app, Netflix’s, Disney Plus) , I lose all sound through the beam.  the only way to get sound back is to switch TV multichannel off and back on again. it works and the. Couple days off again.Is this a known issue?is this because I have ARC HDMI and not EARC?is this a Philips Issue, Fire TV Issue or Sonos.  please help 

Having Hard time connecting my Sonos Beam gen 2 to my Home wi-fi, can some one help?

Hi I would like to get to 4.1 or best sound I can get and am just setting up in a new space.Here is what I currently gave Lg c2 tv connected to Sonos amp through HDMI arc and running in-wall rear speakers. I have existing speakers, linn nexus, in front by tv. These are currently connected to a non Sonos amp, Naim audio. I want to use these in front. How do I use the existing equipment (plus additional Sonos amp or port) to get to surround with the Sonos amp running the rear speakers?Cheers Joe

The sonos products aren't compatible with the type of WiFi signal my router emits"Tp link Deco mesh kits" How do I make them work? Wired? What are the steps?

Just got a Sonos Ray as a gift and I’m hoping there’s a way to connect my two other Sonos speakers to it as a surround group.  The problem I think is that the other speakers are a One and a Play:1. When I got those speakers a few years ago, I had to use a 3rd party app called Sonos Sequencer to connect them as a stereo pair. I’ve used that app to group them with the Ray, but wonder if there is some way to get the three connected in a left-center-right configuration. When I separate the stereo pair to try to set them up as surrounds in the Sonos app, the speakers are not recognized. I appreciate any advice!

Bonjour mon sub se déconnecte souvent.J’ai réussi à le connecter à nouveau mais pas de son qui sort.comment faire ? Moderator edit:Google translate- Hellomy sub often disconnects.I managed to connect it again but no sound coming out.how to do ?

Whenever a Netflix show on my Panasonic TV has 5.1 audio I don't get any sound coming through my Gen 1 Beam. If I change the audio to a version without it i.e. from English [Original] (5.1) to English [Original], then I get the sound coming through. When I have 5.1 audio selected, even though I get no sound the Sonos app says it's playing Dolby Digital 5.1. 

Hi I see similar questions answered here and here but just wanted to double check.We have a living room with at tv and arc sound bar and are considering installing ceiling speakers in the kitchen which extends back behind the couch that is the main TV viewing area. The ceiling speakers would be both for music and for extending the TV audio into the kitchen.The idea is that instead of needing to turn up the soundbar loud enough to hear it well in the kitchen / dining area (which can also see the TV), we could play the audio through the ceiling speakers (which would be connected to an AMP). However, reading previous forums, it appears that this will result in t

I have a number of sonos one speakers around the house. I have in the living room two new sonos ones with a Ray sound bar, is there any way of being able to use another speaker say in the kitchen to listen to music whilst my phone app is being used for the tv set up.

Android sonos app crashes while trying to add Amp to arc home theater.   As a result the Amp can't be added to my arc theater setup. 

Is it possible to add 2 Sonos amps to a Playbar/Sub combo for a 5.1 surround setup?  I would like to use the Playbar as the center channel, one amp for the fronts and the other amp for the rear surrounds.  Is this possible?  Thank you!

After moving to a new home and trying to re-establish my Sonos system - my Sonos Sub (2nd gen i believe Series ID A100) will no longer pair to my Sonos Playbar via Wifi.   The Playbar is optically connected to my TV (workign well) and also connected Wifi (i can stream other sources to the Playbar without issue)I have factory reset the sub a number of times and the unit establishes itself to my wifi network and receives an IP address each time in the same network as rest of my wireless devices.   just for giggles - i tried to connect the sub (after initial setup) to a working Play 1 and that worked - its only when i try to connect the sub to my Playbar where things break (despite this same setup working in my previous home).  i also notice that after trying to pair it to the sub - the “about my system” shows the sub still having an IP address on my network but in the “not connected” state.   any thoughts or pointers welcomed!

I have an LG 75up707PUD, newest Apple TV, hue sync. I am trying to get the best sound. I see I need to go to Audio format on the Apple TV and go under immersive audio but I don’t see that option. When I read the apple articles it mentions connecting the Apple TV directly to the soundbar, but that is not an option with the arc.  Maybe this is an apple issue and I need to talk to them. It just seems like they are telling me that is because of the lack of soundbar pass through.  Apple 4k TV -> hue sync → tv→ Sonos arc 

I use my Beam to listen to TV, Spotify, and radio.If I stop the TV or leave for a few minutes, my Sonos app goes to Spotify or radio and I must turn up the sound with a TV remote or change Sonos app back to TV.Is there a way to make the app stay on TV?Thanks 

I have a patio with a Samsung TV (QN85B) hooked up to 2x Sonos amps for some virtual surround.  The amps are in a closet in the house so the HDMI is converted over a cat6 cable to make the run.  For some reason the audio from YouTube is all glitchy and cuts out intermittently.  See video.https://photos.app.goo.gl/T1GQAAnKWhXPLkeu7When playing a test tone through YouTube it sounds like Morse code at times because of the audio cutting out.My installer has replaced the HDMI converter twice.  Once with the same brand and another time with a different brand altogether.  One was for ARC audio only and the other is a full HDMI converter (video and everything).Other apps work fine.I bought a new Google Chromecast 4k and the problem exists there as well.For me, this rules out the “app” portion of it being Samsung’s fault since Samsung’s Yo

Hi all, Are there any Sonos speakers which can be pair with Sonos Beam gen2 and act as classic rear speakers (playing the same what comes from Beam), not in surround mode? I’ve had Beam gen 2 connected to my Sony TV via HDMI which plays great.However I wanted to extend my configuration and put two additional speakers close to back of my couch to hear it better and not need to play loudly at the evenings - so I bought 2x Sonos One.Then my disappointed of this system has started…It looks like I cannot pair it with my Beam as classic additional speakers which would play the same what comes from Beam (even in mono).When I configure them as surround, most of youtube or Netflix/HBO/Prime/Disney movies not use them or just play additional channel without “main voices” which comes from Beam (which is expected and by design but not what I wanted) When I configure them as stereo or just as group of speakers, then I cannot c

Hellohappy new year to everyoneI have such a problem. I am the owner of the Samsung S95B TV for several days. I also have a Sonos Beam gen 2. I wanted to connect via hdmi earc but I failed. At the very beginning the TV screamed that sonos beam is not connected to the hdmi earc plug but it was. in the meantime, the sonos application informed about the system update. currently there is version 14.20.1 and after updating Sonos Beam does not see that it is connected to the hdmi earc plug. where is the problem. help

I have noticed after the last update mid November when I am playing a movie on Plex which got l audio AAC5.1 or TrueHD7.1 it is shown in the Sonos app as dolby digital plus 2.0.I have tried some old movies which I definitely watched before and in the app was Dolby Atmos TrueHD.Have anyone noticed this issues before?

I have two speakers upstairs in Dining Room.  Rarely used.  I’d like to remove that whole Zone (Dining Room) and just add the two to the TV Room setup.  I have a Soundbar and Woofer hooked up.  But I’d like to augment with these two speakers about 10 feet back.  Not looking for anything fancy like Surround Sound or a fancy Home Theatre.  I simply believe they will be put to better use there and maybe enhance the sound when more than 1 or two people are downstairs in mancave…...
