Home theater

i am mounting my sony bravia k-77xr8b tv above fireplace mantel that is 56" high & 9" deep. viewing distance is 11 feet.i want to add my sonos arc ultra soundbar to the confirguration by attaching it to whatever mount I use. Should i use the sanus tilt mount VLT7 and Sanus soundbar mount for arc OR use  the Mantel Mount model MM-MAX1? Viewing distance is approx11 feet from fireplace.  No heat issues as we dont use fireplace.  Secondly, If i use the MM-MAX1 TV Mantel Mount, will the arc utra attach properly to its included soundbar mount?

Hello,I’m hoping someone can help me ensure I get the settings right on my setup. The reason for this is my Sonos Arc keeps cutting out, this causes my TV to switch to TV Speakers then back to the Sonos Arc and its driving me nuts when trying to enjoy TV. Also sometimes I will start watching TV but the Sonos will not engage and so the TV Speakers are used, I have to turn off the Arc at the plug then turn it back on to get the Sonos to take control of the audio output.I have a Sony XR-55A95K Bravia 4K VH21 and a Apple TV 4K (A2843 + 128GB) running TVOS 26.5. All connected via HDMI Cables (Apple TV --> TV & TV ( HDMI® eARC port)--> Sonos Arc).I have replaced the HDMI cables to remove the possibility of a faulty HDMI cable causing the issue, the Arc is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi and my Apple TV is connected via Cat 6 Ethernet cable.I’ve also factory restored my TV but no difference and even re-set the TV and didn’t connected it to the internet or setup and ‘Smart’ featu

I have noticed that the Beam 2 seems to produce better surround effects. I can actually hear sounds coming from the rear, whereas similar sounds with the Ultra are off the the side of my position. Has anyone noticed the same thing? I’m seriously thinking of returning the Ultra and getting another Beam 2.

Product InfoBeam 2EQ: Bass +8, Treble +4Loudness: On |  Speech: OnTrueplay: No (don’t have Iphone)  Connected via eARC → Samsung The Frame 2025 TV using default audio settings (Dolby/Atmos when available)DescriptionEver since I got the Beam 2 about 1.5 years ago I have felt that there is something “off” with the sound/dynamic range and it’s not really consistent. The dialog in news and sometimes movies often feel thin, flat and “sharp/harsh” with no warmth or natural bass/resonance. So first I thought maybe it was an issue with the bass radiators but oh no, in movies there is insane rumble during action scenes/explosions for example. Almost like there is a sub in the room. So no complaints there. But somehow the bass is just not there in dialogs/human voices.When I press my ear to the soundbar I can hear that the left midwoofer next to the center tweeter being a bit louder and more open compared to the right one which is a bit more closed but with more bass. Not sure which one is corre

I’m moving to a new house and trying to figure out the best placement for my Era 300 speakers in the living room. I have an arc ultra, 2 era 300s, and a gen 4 sub. I attached a drawing of the current setup. My options for the Era 300s is on a console table that will go behind the couch, but the issue is cord management since there is not an outlet super close to the center of the room. It would be doable, but not ideal. The second is mount them by the light behind the couch on the vaulted ceiling that you can see in the picture. There’s an electrical plate there you can’t see in the picture and there’s one mirrored on the other side of the room that you can’t see. I’ve read that once you get a certain distance from the ceiling you’ll need to invert the speaker. The third option is the add 2 outlet by each vents seen in the picture and mount them there. Let me know what you think and if you need more info or pictures.

I’m moving to a new house and trying to figure out the best placement for my Era 300 speakers in the living room. I have an arc ultra, 2 era 300s, and a gen 4 sub.  The TV will be mounted above the mantle and the sound bar would sit on that. The room will have couch and large rug. I’ve gone through the various placement options through other reddits/sonos community and it seems like the best choice was mount the 300s under the vents on the wall above the kitchen (behind that wall is the attic so there’s easy access). Then possibly inverting those 300s.I realize that vaulted ceiling means you’re not going to get perfect theater quality and that’s okay. I just want the sound to make sense is at all possible and what I mean is that I don’t want a sound that’s supposed to be behind me to be heard from the ceiling. Any suggestions on the best placement is also welcomed.***Note: I found out that there are speaker wires already ran behind plates that are ran to all 4 corners. You can’t really

I have a Sonos group setup with an arc soundbar, sub and 2 Sonos 3 speakers. The group is connected to my network and the soundbar is physically connected to my Sony 98” TV. I’m trying to disconnect the group from my TV and have just the soundbar connected to it. I have been unable to do that using the app. Any suggestions?

My cable remote wont function when my sonos Ray device is plugged in, is there a work around?i cant change channels with the remote until i disconnect my sonos ray device

I have a Sonos Ray and a Samsung tv (with no optical port). I also watch TV through a Roku stick. I purchased an adapter to connect it all but when I turn my TV off for the night, then come back the next morning. I don’t get any sound from the soundbar. What can I do?

Moving to a new place and planning my TV surround setup. I already have the Arc Ultra, but I'm looking to add at least two rear speakers. Space is pretty tight in the new layout. Does the layout in my attached drawing look reasonable for good sound? 

I relocated back to Australia from UK and having difficulty connecting my beam to my TV. Both products were purchased in the UK, appreciate help from somebody 

I am not able to connect sub mini to arc . It sees sub mini but says I need to assign to room then says it's not connected. I've reboot everything, removed all devices and changed channels. Please advise, thanks 

I want to set up surround sound with my beam. I am about to install ceiling speakers and own a couple of play 3s. Would it be better to use the ceiling speakers or the play 3s. I haven't decided whether to buy a new AMP or use my existing ZP120 for the ceiling speakers.

Since I downloaded Sonos 2 for a new device my older soundbar does not work.

Hey everyone, I recently moved into a "luxury" apartment that came pre-wired with a Sonos Amp inside the utility closet, powering two passive ceiling speakers in the living room. I just bought a Sonos Arc Ultra for the TV. Because of the layout, I managed to hardwire both the Arc and the Amp via Ethernet. Here is my issue: The "Default / Surround" Method (Sounds Terrible): If I set my Apple TV to default "Receiver Speakers" (so audio goes through the HDMI eARC port to the Arc) and use the Sonos app to bond the Amp/Ceiling speakers as Surrounds, the audio completely dies. The system sounds incredibly flat, dull, and completely neutered. The "AirPlay" Method (Sounds Great, but a hassle): If I go into my Apple TV settings and manually route the audio via AirPlay to both the Arc Ultra and the Amp at the same time, the room fills with sound and it sounds incredible and punchy. (Note: In this AirPlay setup, the Sonos Arc and the Amp are kept as two completely separate systems/rooms in the So

A while ago I created this post: This is still a problem. For several games, if not all games, the volume is not how it should be. In the game Metaphor, dialoge form the sides are much louder than from the center. In other games, certain sounds seem too loud. These problems are especially bad when using Dolby Atmos on PS5, but also a problem in Linear PCM, in some cases just as bad like with the Metaphor example. I have tried several combinations without luck. This is not an issue with the TV or PS5 because this is not an issue with the TV audio. I am using passthrough on the TV and device type soundbar on PS5, but tested multiple combinations. Do I have a faulty Arc Ultra? I’m only using the Arc Ultra with my LG C4 TV, no sub or other speakers. I find it odd I can’t find anyone else reporting this. Edit: I think the main problem is that the soundbar mixes up dialoge and music, so in Metaphor when characters are talking from the sides the volume is increased, but when it is from the ce

Hi, I have a first generation Arc a gen 3 sub and two Era 300s in my living room. The Era 300s are set up as surrounds but I regularly unbond them for music and don't think they sound great as surrounds.They seem just too quiet and I find I have to push all the levels up to max to get any real impact.For music they are way better just as a stereo pair.I don't think there is anything wrong with the speakers I just don't find the implementation to be great. It bothers me no end that Sonos won't let me enable the centre channel. in my room it would be better the centre than the far side channels.I also wish there was a music mode for the Eras so that they can be set to just those for music, unpairing is ok but it plays havoc with my room setup in the app and Alexa.I do love Sonos and have speakers in every room but am just disappointed with this setup. I kind of just lived with it until now but it appears other brands are making some interesting stuff. The LG Soundsuite is looking interes

I recently purchased the Sonos Arc ultra. It doesn't seem to be playing Dolby Atmos. The Sonos app shows Dolby Digital Plus 5.1. The soundbar is connected to HDMI eArc on Sony Bravia XR55A80K. Sound & Audio output settings are all okThe content being played on the TV shows 4K Dolby Vision. I've configured Truplay as well.Same content on my Bose SOUNDBAR SB700 gives good surround effects. What could be missing? Or is it a bug in Sonos app or firmware

After downloading the newest software update this past week, I tried TruPlay again and the initial test tone from my main seating position is no longer there. It only has the room walking calibration method. Called tech support and they are now aware this is the case on iOS iPhone. Anyone else have this problem?

I can’t get my sub to hold the setting I set it to. Each time it defaults to zero for cross over. And regardless of what I set. It does not sound any better.  I have unplugged and powered my amp up. I have done the same to my sub.  I have run true play again. All the equipment is up to date and has most recent updates   

My Samsung TV eARC hdmi connection is currently in my cinema processor, allowing theatre sound.I don’t use it all the time and I’m not happy with the standalone TV sound so I want to add an Arc Ultra.To get Atmos from the Arc I need to use a eARC connection from the TV.How do I get my TV eARC connection to feed BOTH the cinema processor and the Arc soundbar?Looking for solutions that work for others who have encountered this type of issue.

My Era100 has worked normally during the time I've had it, about 1 year. Now it suddenly doesn't connect with my TV or if it connects, it disconnects itself after a moment. I've tried everything I can imagine, with the TV and era100, and the app. Any ideas?
