Spaces & Setups

I am looking to set up home with a multi-room speaker system that can play the sound from my turntable to 3 different rooms. I am struggling to decide the correct pairing of components.  Things to consider: -My turntable is the Audio-technica AT-LP120, that has a built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier with RCA output cables. -I don’t have an amplifier currently connected to the turntable. -I have a friend selling a Sonos Connect and not sure if this will suffice or I should be lookng at the Sonos Amp. He is also selling an earlier model Sonos One and a Sonos Beam.  

Hi All, I have the Apple TV (4K) and Sonos Arc. If I leave the “Change Format” to “Off” on the Apple TV (the default), it still seems to pass 5.1 through to the Sonos Arc. This is different behaviour to that of the Beam where you had to hardcode it by changing the format to DD 5.1, otherwise who knows what you were going to get. My question is, what is the recommended setting to ensure Dolby Digital plus is passed through to Apple TV onto the Arc? My TV supports Dolby Digital Plus and I want to ensure I am not re-encoding do DD 5.1 if I don’t have to be, and that might be hardcoding it to DD 5.1 only ...and I miss out on DD 5.1 plus ...and therefore ATMOS. Any help appreciated!    

Hello,when I search a track in Sonos, wherever i start from (my music, deezer, my artists) the result is not limited to my tracks (favourites or belonging to playlist) but all tracks from deezer are shien. how should I do to search my favourites from my Deezer playlist ?Hope this was clear enough,thanks

So im looking to change my tv sound system. Right now i have a bar, sub, 2 small speakers. Im tired of having so many speakers everywhere! I heard that the Arc is the new full surround sound system that plays the role of all those speakers combined. That was the opinion of a few people, but id like more opinions. My objective is to have 1 speaker that does wonders in terms of surround sound to end the clutter in the living room.thanks!!

I connected the Beam with my LG LE5400 tv, used the connection in the box from the optical to HDMI. Every hour or so the sound stops for a few seconds, what is the problem?  

I spent most of the day setting up my new Sonos system, it required me to deactivate most of my old components but I finally was able to reset everything install the S2 app and add some of the new components. The first room I added was my theater room with an arc, a subwoofer, and a Sonos amp for the rear surrounds. My app shows that all components were installed and set up correctly, but I get no sound from the rear surround speakers. I tested the wiring to the speakers and it tested fine. I have played music and movies I set the surrounds to full and to ambient and have no response from them. Attached is a diagnostic 1010928060

Looking to buy some RF 7 3s for my Sonos amp. Wondering if it’s too much for my amp or get something smaller? I really don’t want to go buy a true AV receiver. Reason being that I would have to go and get a Sonia connect and I feel like it’s a hassle. Please recommend me floor speakers. 

I have a Samsung UN55F9000AF Television and cannot get my Beam to connect to the TV over the ARC HDMI connection.  I’m getting the ‘HDMI ARC not detected” when I try to configure the unit in my app.

Trying to take advantage of the Sonos (up to 30%) upgrade discount available online (upgrading from an older Five to the newer version)…  Have clicked on my existing product and website now states ‘redeemed’ (or similar) but when I go to purchase the new product via website it still seems to comes back with the ‘regular’ full-price for the product, rather than showing the reduced price (i.e. full/regular price MINUS 30% discount [in this case] therefore customer asked to enter credit/debit card for the lower-cost total price.  Anyone had a similar experience - and more importantly - know how to resolve so I can pay the reduced/discounted total ‘upgrade’ price?Many thanks. Cheers, Graham

We have a Sonos Beam.. I cannot turn off speakers on TV (Pioneer Plasma with attached Speakers).  Setup says use volume control on app.  Cant seem to figure out how to do that.  Sound is fine with Google assistant..

Beam mutes TV constantlyOn New LG tv

I have to keep increasing the volume everytime I turn the TV on. Is this normal? can Sonos be programmed to leave the volume at the same level when I last turned it off?

I have music stored on an sd card on my s20 fe 5g phone.A few of the artists/albums are shown in music on this device tab..but like10%..these are stored in the same way, on the sd card.How do I get sonos s2 app to see all the rest? 

I'm thinking of getting an Arc to use with my 55" TV in the living room pictured. Would it work well with my vaulted ceiling and lack of side wall to the left of the TV? (The whole room is approximately twice as long as shown, I'm standing roughly in the middle of the room when taking the photo).Would appreciate any input! TIA

Hi guys, Wondering if anyone can help me with this:My current set up is I have a sonos Beam and a seperate old stereo/vinyl record player set up.I’m looking to upgrade my record player however to a Sony PS-LX310BT, which comes with built in phono pre-amp and bluetooth connection. I understand that I may not be able to connect the record player to my SONOS Beam, but would really like to be able to incorporate it into the vinyl set up (as the old stereo/speakers currently connected are not great..). Does anyone know of the easiest/most cost effective way of eitherConnecting the sony record player directly to the Beam orBuying another SONOS product that the sony record player will be able to connect to and will allow me to play from the Beam also. (note. the record player has line-out aswell as bluetooth connection)I’d really appreciate anyones advice as this would take my current seperate (very basic) setups to the next level.  Thanks in advance!! 

HiI have recently bought an Amp and put together a setup with two front passive speakers and also recycled my existing two Ones as back surround speakers.I use an AppleTV 4K connected to the TV via HDMI, that provides all the content in this setup. My current TV is very old and does not support ARC, and I don't see much point in springing for the optical adapter. A new TV with ARC will come eventually, but its not a huge priority right now.I have been using Airplay 2 for a long time to drive the two Ones as a stereo pair for TV watching purposes, and have so far been happy with the results and usability (if only AppleTV could be permanently set to use Airplay 2, it would be perfect).I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that (to the best of my understanding) surround sound also works quite well, over Airplay 2, in this setup. This means I can clearly hear surround effects from all 4 sides of the room. The Apple TV is set to play PLCM and not change audio format.Is there a way to

Santa was extra good to us and we now have 2 new Move speakers to add to our current Sonos network. My question is can 2 different Move speakers, connected to the same network, play different music at the same time, i.e., my wife play rock on her Move in the kitchen while I play country on my Move out in the garage? How do we set that up? Is it as simple as just giving the speakers each a different name?

In the sonos app I can no longer find sonos playlists on my iPad, but see them fine on my phone.  I can add songs to them, but cannot see them, I can even add a new playlist but they are never displayed.  Were playlists moved somewhere or removed for some reason?  Again, show up on phone but not iPad.  

I'm a little confused over the sonos website and sales. First issue when ordered arc said was in stock then was given a date for one month after. So changed colour to one in stock. Also ordered the sub gen 3 in November given the date of 11 December. To wait to the day to call for confirmation to be told won't be untill end of January almost 2 months after my initial order and a month after the date I purchased the product knowingly. Well the question really is why not just explain these thing's on the website, as the main pretence is you will receive your product within 2 days which is deceiving even products in stock take a week to receive. Also if a product is not in stock why wait untill a customer calls asking why the date given when purchase and after has not been met infact giving a new date which is a month later than the stated date on the sale invoice. Tbf I think I would have rather brought a sound system from another company to get a complete set straight away rather than w

I’m reading up on the Sonos Port and I have a couple of questions. As I understand it the 12V Trigger just works as an on/off trigger for my amp.  Assuming my amp/receiver support 12V triggers it will bring it back on from a sleep/standby mode.   But it won’t change inputs, right? If that’s the case, is there any way to do this with a receiver?   Thanks in advance!  

I have an Arc (with 2 play one’s as surround) paired with an Apple TV 4k via Airplay. As I am using a 4k projector (LG HU80ka via HDMI2 Arc port) I do not want to use a physical HDMI cable between the Arc and the Apple TV. I have the Apple TV HDMI connected to the projector (with the right HDMI 4k cable) Can I get Atmos using Airplay from the Apple TV 4k wirelessly to the Arc?The Sonos App does not display Arc is receiving Atmos and the Apple TV audio set up indicates that the system is just 5.1Thanks!

Would anyone recommend the arc mounted above the tv? 

I successfully (I thought) set up my Sonos Beam without too much trouble and it now works with both my iPad and Fire TV. But, I no longer have any access to basic cable service. I suspect this might have something to do with the fact that I had to disconnect my HDMI ARC cable from my cable TV box in order to plug it into the Beam. I would have assumed that this would be quite common and your set up would have allowed for it. Perhaps I am mistaken.  I would appreciate any assistance you might be able to provide on this matter.

I am putting a Sony 77 OLED on the wall in my living room with a Sonos Arc. The TV will be above the fireplace. should I mount the Soundbar above the tv so that I can get the tv as low as possible? my ceilings are 12' high

HiI need to reset my LG CX soon for something, and I will need to connect my sonos arc back up, I have a question about the tv setup option via the sonos app, is important that I go through that to set it back up?I cant remember doing it last time I just connected it to tv and set it to hdmi arc.Thanks
