Home theater

Just set up my new ARC ULTRA.  It’s a nice step up from the original ARC.  Better sound overall and clearer dialog.  Only issue is that it won't work with my Sonos 1 surround speakers and original sub.My plan is to move the original ARC, surrounds and sub to our bedroom TV.  But it's only 45 inches and the table it’s on is not wide enough for the ARC’s total width.  So here’s the question… CAN I PUT THE ARC BEHIND THE TV? Back there it’s excess length won’t be as noticeable. Thanks. 

Can the Sonos Beam help simplify my home theater system? 

Would I be able to create a surround sound system with my Sonos beam soundbar, aftermarket rears, and a sub? I also have 2 or 3 Connect:Amps left over from a previous house. 

7 yr old Sony XBR, soundbar, surround speakers, sound bass, and Sonos bridge. WiFi video streaming.   YouTube TV works fine - turn tv on, select YouTube and instant sound.  However when I select Netflix or Prime, there is a minute audio delay before ANY sound starts up.  Sometimes I fast forward or reverse and audio then kicks in.  Any quick thoughts? Problem seems to be getting worse over the past year. 

Just setup the Arc Ultra and attempted to pair it with my existing Sub 3. Sonos app says they are paired but then they immediately unpair. I have tried factory resets and repairing multiple times, no luck. Tried calling Sonos customer support but the wait was too long. I’m beyond frustrated.

Hello. Can you get the sound from the TV to the Sonos speakers via WIFI?

Hi, after finally setting up my new Beam 2 using the Sonos app on a Samsung S24 (painful to say the least) I sat down to enjoy a few Atmos movies.All seems reasonably OK but I’m not overly happy about two things:The loudness variation between different apps (Disney, Netflix, Amazon, Apple etc) is massive when switching from one app to another or between apps and terrestrial sources; We’re forever having to amend the volume settings. Is there anyway to maintain the same sound level no matter what the source? Similarly, when watching a movie we experience silent lows where we can hardly hear what anyone is saying to incredible highs where we have to turn down the volume. The variance is massive and results in almost non-stop volume alterations.Are these common issues with Sonos soundbars? I can’t see any setting in the app that maintains a level volume setting and the Samsung TV’s volume management setting is disabled as it expects the

I’ve currently got a beam bar and the cracking/popping is driving me nuts. It only happens on certain programs/apps.  When the surround speakers work they isn’t no cracking/popping but soon as it’s just the beam bar working on its own the crackling starts. It’s fine when steaming Spotify etc. any ideas how to stop it cracking? Current using a Panasonic TV. 

Hi all. I’ve recently purchased era 300s coming from Sonos ones used as rear speakers for ARC ultra. Yes they are great with Atmos content but I had much better sound coming from ones with other content, can there be option so we can use the 300s in different sound modes so a correct sound output, full sound coming out of all speakers (centre speaker) as well so it’s all up mixed. Just  think there should be more configurations for the era 300s. 

I have a Sonos Arc in Black. I plan to get the Sonos Arc Ultra in White…but I’m wondering if I can use the black power cable I got with the Arc?I notice on the website it shows this power cable is compatible with the Arc, but doesn’t show Arc Ultra.Can anyone from Sonos look into this and confirm if the Arc power cable in black is compatible with the Arc Ultra in white?Thanks!

How can I balance the sound better, when I watch a movie most of the time in an action scene I have to turn down the sound and then I don't hear the dialogues loud enough and vice versa, if I turn up the volume to hear the dialogues then as soon as there is an action scene I have to turn down the sound

Does Trueplay™ still work with Beam (Gen 2) with the latest iOS and S2 software? I can no longer find the menu item in the app?

Can there be a third option for loudness (specifically base) other than just toggling night mode on and off? I have the beam with surround (sonos One’s) and the sub. I love the loudness and extra bass when night mode is off but my wife not so much. I feel like there should be an inbetween mode. 

For a more immense experience, I would like to add two Era 100 on the side, combined with my system made with Arc ultra and the two Era 300. This will make the listening experience even deeper. I specify that I am not interested in high volume, but in the intensity that can be received by adding two speakers l to the side of the system. Has anyone done it or can give an opinion?

I have been using the Playbar with BT box for several years. I used the BT remote to adjust volume on the PlaybarI recently bought a new Pansonic TV. The TV is connected to the BT box with an Hdmi cable; the TV is also connected to a DVD player via HDMI. the TV is connected to the Playbar with a cableI can change channels etc with the BT remote so that is functioning fine but I cannot make any volume adjustments using the BT remote. I have tried to get the TV remote to adjust the volume of the Playbar but also with no success.How can I adjust volume on the Playbar?  

I am an old guy so have mercy.  I finally retired my Playbar and bought the Arc Ultra and I am having trouble hooking up my older Sub 2.  I can add it to the system and I get the chime but no sound at all from the Sub. I have tried all the usual things I can think of, update the speaker, Wi-Fi on and off, Ethernet cable plugged-in or not, remove the sub and reconnect, etc. Nothing brings the sub to life.  I would appreciate any suggestions anyone can offer me.  Ill try anything once and if it sounds or feels good, more than that.Thanks

Hi,I became unable to play music through to my Living Room setup - and upon further inspection discovered both of the Sonos One SL’s had somehow disconnected from the system. After power cycling multiple times, and trying to remove them as a pair (I got an error saying I was unable to), I factory reset them.  now:The unpaired live in parallel rooms. However, checking the original room;They’ve magically “reappeared”, both existing in the original room, and outside of them. Trying to add them as a pair gives me the error they’re already in use, trying to remove them as a pair gives there error: 

Hello everyone,Hoping to get some help here as I think I’ve tried everything I can to be able to add more surround speakers to my surround.  I have the Center (Arc), Sub (Mini) and 2 (Era 100s).Id like to have just 2 more additional Era 100s for more rear sounds but I can’t get them to add and sync up.   Any advice/help on this?  Thanks in advance.  Setup looks like this currently:                                    Center  Era1                     ((      Couch      ))   Sub Mini            Era1                   **Era1                       **Era1             **Are what I’d like to add to my current setup.  

Every day I have to shut down my playbase. Otherwise only one Speaker is playing. What can I do. is there a german support, I can contact? Moderator Edit - Fixed Typo

Got a sub gen 4 as a gift.  I have a Playbar (2018) and 2no Play ones set up as stereo set up. sub is compatible with the One’s but not playbar. There’s nothing wrong with the playbar and don’t really want to change it.  any recommendations on how to get the sub to work with the current setup.  I’ve tried grouping already. 

The other day one of my Era 300's started doing the strangest thing, beeping randomly and status light flashing all different colours. So just turned it off. Just reset it and selected the room where my Arc and other Era 300 and sub is but it just sets up the Lounge 2 and doesn't add the speaker to Lounge.I tried to change the room but then end up with 2 rooms called Lounge. Unable to connect stereo pair as it says no other speaker available. Hoping someone can help, surely this is a simple thing to fix, just can't seem to work it out. Thanks

Hello,while reading about the possibility to connect speakers to a video projector (via the HDMI of a computer), I understood that a built-in delay in the Sonos system would result in a gap between image and audio (about 70ms). I have 2 questions :Would adjusting the synchronisation video/audio in VLC by 70ms solve the problem ; basically delaying the video by the same 70ms ? That issue affects only the speakers 100, 300 and Five, or is  it the same with the Arc ?thank you very much for your inputSébastien

Hi, i have a Xgimi Halo + projector and 2 Era 100 connected via bluetooth. Any solutions for the lag?Thank you

The Bean 2 comes with a HDMI cable from factory. Can I use an 8K high speed cable instead knowing the quality has to be better?
