Home theater

Can someone tell me what exactly needs to be taken into account when it comes to the distance related to setting the surround sound?The distance between the Era 300 and the listener's ear, or the distance between the Era's external speaker and a nearby reflective surface?The Eras are located on the wall on both sides of the sofa on the wall, facing forward towards the TV and there is a maximum depth of 10-15 cm between the listener and the speakers. The distance between the TV (77”) and the viewing position is approx. 3 m. I know it's not perfect, but you have to adapt to the existing conditions. Both are at an equal distance, 1.3 m to the right and left of the student's position. The one on the left is 40 cm and the one on the right is 60 cm from the furniture, which means the reflecting surface.During movies, I have the feeling that the one on the left sounds louder than the one on the right. Sometimes I don't even hear the right side, but then it speaks when I listen to it. (No, it'

I’m having trouble with my sound. I use my phone or iPad to control volume. It now seems to only work if I use my tv controller and put it on mute. This issue started up after trying to connect headphones to my tv.

I keep having this notification. I wish Sonos had more setting options in the app. More features more functionality. This however has been going on for a month with seemingly no fix. 

i have two Sonia Era 300s as surrounds they are mounted up side down and seem to be working fine but I just noticed this coming up when going into the app settings anyone know what’s going on?  

I have a few Sonos play ones and playbar in my bedroom.  I have the status lights disabled but when the volume is set to zero, the lights come back on. (Hitting mute doesn’t cause the issue). This is a bit annoying because I don’t want the lights on at all, has anyone else experienced this issue?  

 Hi all, I was wondering if you could provide some guidance about a 2nd sub. I'm no expert on the interaction of sub/bass, and based on reading other posts I understand it can be tricky. I currently have the sub in the upper right corner next to the tv, and I was wondering if a 2nd sub would work ok next to the left side of the couch, as that's really the only reasonable spot I have.

Hi. My gen 1 beam (and sub) is connected to a LG television. When I turn off the TV (using the remote or asking Alexa) the beam goes silent. After about 10 seconds the beam plays 5 to 8 seconds of TV sound.This is not a major problem but it can be off-putting when I turn off the TV and leave the room only to hear a few seconds of speaking or music. Any thoughts or ideas?

So, with the launch of the new Google TV box, I couldn't help but upgrade. However, has anyone experienced audio sync being well out?  And seemingly the need for a minus correction option within the Arc sync correction settings? I don't seem to be able to add the topic tag of #GooglevTV

Arc is making a cracking sound intermittently.  Wassup with that!?!   Stuff costs too much to not work correctly.  it’s happening during active streaming and also when just resting on a homepage.   doesn’t happen when playing music.   

Okay am i the only one here was thinking that 1k£ sound bar will be louder than sonos five ? I mean doesn’t sound louder at all than one of sonos fives and the price is double . And seems changing in so os app treble and bass doesn’t actually does anything am i the only one thinking like that and is it actually has to be like this ? 

My Move & Roam are not connecting properly to TV audio when added to the group. All my ‘non moveable’ speakers connect seamlessly. Both the Move and the Roam’s audio drops out every few seconds if I try connecting them to both my Beam or Ray while watching TV.There are no issues with connecting the Move and Roam to the Beam & Ray while listening to music. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? 

Sometimes when I power on my LG TV (UM8070PUA) no sound will come through my Sonos arc speaker. It does t happen every time when I turn my tv on, but when I does happen, I have to unplug it and try to rest everything, (annoying). this has happened since I bought this speaker a few years ago. It’s annoying, does anyone know why this keeps happening and how do I fix it?!?

I have Era 300s and 100s in white. Is the Arc Ultra and Sub gen 4 white all the same shade of white? 

When will this be on the Sonos Road map?  There is no reason for Sonos to force customers to spend more money on the larger sub if they already own the mini’s.  This is just greedy practices.If this will never be on the roadmap, please advise, so i can start to phase my future purchases to another companys product.  Sonos has not done well by its loyal customers and this is a simple fix if you wanted to generate some good faith among customers that you would like to keep.

Beam and sub-mini owner. Wife and I struggle to watch tv together due to my hearing deficit. I need it loud, she doesn't. Is it possible for us to watch tv together while I wear Ace headphones with customized volume (louder) while she listens to ambient Beam and sub-mimi at a normal volume?

My original Playbar does not appear to be on WiFi nor are there lights on the Ethernet jack.  The power cord for my playbar is snaked behind a accent wall that my 75” tv hangs from 1/any suggestions on hot to get the internet going or 2/resetting the sound bar without unplugging the plug from the wall?

Hi,Is there a digital optical (SPDIF) input in order to connect an external streamer/DAC to the new ARC Ultra, busides the HDMI eARC ?In the specs it is not listed, and the pics so far are not detailed enough. Many thanks !

Hi all just got  some era 300s to use as rears for my ARC ultra. Is there any news on the centre channel being activated in surround mode using non Atmos content? I have them on 10 and find them still a bit quiet 

HiOK, I pulled the trigger and ordered the Arc Ultra and two Sub 4’s. The Sub 4 weighs less than the Sub (Gen2/3); but no loss of performance IMO. I must attribute the weight difference to materials used for the enclosure. The physical appearance of the Sub 4 is more angular around the edges/perimeters versus the gloss finish versions. However, the fingerprint test is outstanding…Zero for the black and white matte finishes. I have both; therefore, I know of what I speak. 😊. Also, the NFC is much faster during setup and it connects directly to your Wi-Fi by-passing the temporary connection to your device.The star of the show is of course the Arc Ultra. Below is my “Everyday Person” opinion. No audiophile speak; just plain straight talk for us common folks! 😊Ease of Setup: Easy Pee Zee. Plug in the Arc Ultra and the app walks you through the process with ease. Connects directly to your Wi-Fi with no temporary connection to its built-in frequencies.Sound Motion Woofer: Definitely increa

The Sub 4 isn't showing in the 'Your System' summary, or when adjusting individual speakers, but does show when I go into Manage/About your system/ - it shows there as in the same room and connected. Does this mean it's connected but not active? How do I get it active and showing in the summary  ? If I try to add another speaker or component from there, nothing shows up.

I currently have an arc, sub gen 2, and for rear surrounds a One and a One SL. If I upgraded to the arc ultra with the gen 4 woofer, can I keep my gen 2 woofer and combine it with the gen 4 one for a dual sub set up? Or do both speakers need to be at least gen 3? Wasn't sure if I could use a pre gen 3 sub with a post gen 3 one. I'm sure the answer is yes but given the cost and how long I keep these things I figure doesn't hurt to triple check. 

I have A LG 65 C2 two years old it is connected to Sonos ARC,satellites and sub,there is also an older Surround system in the rack.The Sonos soundbar is connected to the TV with HDMI cable to the ARC input on the TV,the old system is connected to the TV with optical cable .When I choose the optical output instead of the HDMI ARC on the TV the sonos system goes silent and the optical is also dead.To change this i have to physically remove the HDMI cable between the TV and the Sonos,then I can listen to the old system through the optical cable. Any solutions ?

I have set the home theatre with SONOS ARC+SUB gen 3+ two ERA 100 rear surround speakers.ARC is hooked up by ethernet cable, the rest wirelessThe proble is the surround speakers has the tendency to oscillate the sound during sound changes or frames changing during film reproductionHave any one experienced this problem ? and is possible to correct it?regards

For my home theater centered on a Beam, I recently ditched my Play 3s to go to a set of in-ceiling 8” Sonos Architecturual speakers with a Sonos Amp. I have everything connect correctly but the surrounds are not nearly as strong as before. Any advice?

Our Sonos beam has been working fine,  we added some usb lights and it seems to stop it working. Anyone else had this.
