Good morning everyone.
New Sonos user here. Just received my Arc, Sub, and 2 OneSL’s yesterday. Hooked everything up and I am pretty impressed so far. I am coming from a bulky klipsch/denon setup, and while it sounded good, we had a little living room refresh, and this was the best solution.
My issue:
Vizio tv-E601I-A3 60 inch (from 201-too old?). Spectrum cable box. Samsung blu-ray.
The issue that I am experiencing, is when playing a blu-ray (mad max: fury rd) the app says that I am in PCM Stereo. I plugged the tv into the ARC port (hdmi 1-no EARC). I tried all the different audio settings on my tv and blu-ray with no change. Interestingly, sound still comes from the back speakers while the movie is playing. But the app does not show 5.1 or ATMOS at all. TV too old?
While on my cable input, I get 5.1 from that, but I am not sure if my cable box is forcing that to happen.
The tv is still really nice. 4k, 120hz. I hate to buy another one just to have my surrounds work properly, but sinking 2k into a sound system to not have it work the way its supposed to, isnt ideal either.
Help me exhaust all of my options first. Appreciate any help!
(Side note-I did buy a new tv for my bedroom-Sony XR50X90J that I can pull out of there and test on, just might be a pain in the rear.)
