What is the difference between Sonos ARC and Sonos ARC SL (shadow edition) 

I’m powering two outdoor Speakercraft One speakers and would like to connect an outdoor sub with the connect amp.  Does any have a suggestion of an outdoor subwoofer that pairs well with the connect amp?Thanks!

Setting up a large room 25’ x 50’. 85” TV monitor at one end 25’ wide. Ceilings are 16’. Considering:ARC Sub G32 Fives on either side of TV2 One SLs as rear surroundsThe Fives are mainly for music, but would like to use with TV and ARC if possible. Want the Sub to work at all times. Will this set up work for a large room? Would a second Sub make sense in such a large space? 

As the title states, are there any Sonos products with a coaxial input?

Hi all.All of my local stations appear to be in Ulster, Northern Ireland. I live in Leeds, Yorkshire, UK.My address on my account is set correctly.Any ideas?Many thanks

Hi. How and what is the best way to connect Sonos Connect to an A/V Processor ? Do I need to use TOSLINK® optical audio cable or a digital coaxial cable ? How to use the Processor’s DAC  ( Not the Sonos ) to hear best Audio as my Processor is preferred.  I am adding my A/V Back panel , Don't know where to connect the cables.  Thank you.  

I just removed my library and the controller has been indexing for a couple of days I removed incompatable products in order to install the S2 app all smoke and mirrors nothing is happening how can the music play if the library is removed how do I set the path to a NAS Storage device where can i find the whatever it is address to the NAS device they tell me to ask manufacturer Manufacturer is dumber than I am

I bought the sonos arc , ones for surround and the sub .I just got 1 Five can I connect it to my surround as a center channel or just so I could hear them all together or do I have to buy the 2 . If so I definitely need to return it if I need 2 to get it to work . Thank you 

Hi everyone, I have read that the Arc is designed to go below the TV, that there are upward firing speakers for the Atmos support, that home cinema speakers should be positioned around ear height..But in my set up I have a TV on the wall above a gas log fireplace. There isn’t room to fit the Arc under the TV because it will be too close to the fireplace and will get too hot. My question is how bad will it be having the Arc above the TV? I’m an 80/20 kind of guy and probably don’t have an audiophile’s ear, so will I notice much difference? Thanks in advance!Gavin

I am redoing my garage and have an HD Projector mounted in the ceiling, sent to a 110” screen.  Previously, I had hard wired speakers through my AVR, playing content from my FireCube.  I purchased a new port and 2 new SL1s so that I could get rid of ALL the speaker cables for my 7.1 Setup.  I know im sacrificing surround sound capability for ease, but I’m OK with that.  I just can’t get sound to play through my new speakers.  Any suggestions? Current setup:HDMI OUT of Fire Cube toHDMI IN - Sony AVR Video Mono Audio OUT to Sonos Port In. Help!>!?! Thank you! SCarolina Man 

I use the SONOS app on iOS.  When i deselect a speaker they all stop playing music or whatever and the app freezes and is unusable.  Any suggestions or help would be useful.  I had this system as it is supposed to be flexible etc and should not have to reboot the router or whole system every time i want to stop playing sound from a speaker.

My wife has some hearing problems.  We have an Arc and still most of the time she has trouble hearing the dialogue.  One of the problems may be that we sit very far away from the tv.  I am now considering another Sonos for the table situated next to her. Hopefully something small and out of the way.  What would you reccomend? Would this even help the situation? 

Ive been reading that Sonos is designed to connect to TV’s, not so much to Projectors.This is my epson 2250 https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Projector-Streaming-Enhancement-Interpolation/dp/B08GL4GB2MI have a Sonos Amp with two ceiling speakers and soon to be sub. Nothing is installed at this time.I read in another thread that I can use this box https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Audio-Stereo-Extractor-Converter/dp/B07KRWYN4R/ and the optical audio adapter https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/optical-audio-adapter to hard wire sound from the projector to the Amp.My Epson projector works with Fire Stick, and has an extra hdmi out.Do i attach the box to the spare HDMI on the projector, or inline with the Firestick? Any of that make sense? Thanks. 

Hi all!I’m about to dive in the Sonos ecosystem and buy the Arc + Sub Gen3 + Ones or Ones SL for surround satellites.Yet, I have one thing that keeps echoing in my head and gets me a bit reluctant: how well does that glossy finish of the Sub Gen 3 holds up with time?Being the sub a speaker that’s on the ground, it is prone to get hit in various situations, like when vacuuming the room, or other daily situations.I fear the glossy finish turns into a nightmare of scratches that would ruin the looks of it.How well does is cope with this?I deeply appreciate your inputs.

Hello all,I’m looking to improve the sound in my golf simulator room by using some of my spare Sonos play 1 speakers which I was hoping to link to my Denon 3700H AVR. I would be obliged if someone could take a look at the connections on the back of the AVR and advise whether this can be connected to a Sonos Port or similar and indeed how I would do so? Many thanks in advance. 

Hi does this angle and distance to TV work for the upfiring speakers of the Sonos Arc? Thank you in advance!

I use a Nest Hub to play music on one of my Sonos speakers. I have three speakers on my main floor. I cannot seem to get the the Nest Hub, which uses Google Home, to play on more than one speaker at at time. That forces me to open my phone and then add the other two speakers to the playing speaker. Is there anyway to fix this?

The latest MacOS update to 12.3 appears to allow the connection to Apple Music. 

Amazon UHD subscription. In the Amazon app , when I select UHD music to play, on my S2 app ‘Now Playing’ doesn’t show any information regarding the format playing via the Arc.

Hello: What is the difference between the ARC model, the ARCG1EU1BLK and the ARCG1EU2BLK? 

Does anyone know or can confirm Atmos is fine xed with 15.4? 

I’ve had my SONOS setup for a number of years.  Hell, I’ve even enrolled on the beta test programme (I wouldn’t bother if I were you...you don’t get anything back from SONOS other than so many questions and video “proof” of the issues one has with the software!  Even though I am retired I am having to spend HOURS of my time trying to get the bugs and limitations of the software ironed out...all for no reward!  My biggest issue is that the software seems incapable of coping with the volume of my music library (stored on a local NAS Drive/Server.  It can’t search more than 66,000 tracks, and causes all sorts of issues if I try and add another music library (for my classical collection, stored on a different network share!).  I realise this is all trying to direct me towards utilising a streaming service, but I have amassed my music collection over 40 years, so don’t see why I should pay a monthly subscription to have access to music, which I already own!  Is anyone aware of software whic

Hi guys, I have an issue with my Sonos arc with DTS audio, for example when playing a Harry Potter movie I have to change the settings to PCM in the bd player, and then the audio then works but it's only in stereo PCM which is a bit rubbish. My Samsung TV is only a couple of years old, but only has arc, not e-arc. The TV can handle dolby digital plus from what I can see in the TV settings. I tested with a Dolby Atmos movie played via Plex (TV Plex app), and the Sonos app said atmos, so it does seem to be able to cope with it. I also tested a DTS-HD movie in Plex, and I got sound, but Sonos app said it was Dolby Digital 5.1, which is weird. ​​​​Why can the Arc not handle DTS HD audio from my bluray player?​​​​​​I tried a new hdmi cable to a brand new 2.1 version, same issues. Lastly, my Disney+ app will only show 5.1 audio as well. When playing Netflix Dolby movies, app says DD 5.1 plus. Any advice appreciated!   

iPhone app says “unable to play the selected station”  on certain Sirius XM stations but computer app works fine.   Latest updates on Sonos and iPhone.

While the ARC bar was under warranty, it was damaged and now, they send me a reconditioned replacement bar... Well, I bought it NEW. Shameful that SONOS !! FOOLED ME !! ... and after more than 20 days without the ARC
