Epson 2250 vs 5030UB who wins this fight?

Hi friends I'm in doubt about two projectors to simply watch 3D movies.Epson 2250 at best buy for $799 vs Epson 5030UB for 700$ With recent  replaced lamp on a used page.  who wins this fight?(with a blu-ray..and  HDFury Arcana adapter for Sonos arc.) I like the Epson brand image I know there are other brands with more modern projectors but I love the balance of contrast and brightness of Epson the sharpness of the images sometimes makes you think it's 4k.  so I am willing to pay a reasonable price for an old 3D projector. I don't want to buy a modern projector from another brand and not be happy with the image quality.  I know that each person has a different style for the brands.  I already have a current 4k project so I don't want to spend too much on a 3D HD I know the 3D of these two projectors are good.  but the doubt is killing me to buy the new 2230 or the 5030UB used with a new lamp.  i am not very comfortable buying used projector but this one for the price seems to be worth

Sonos Status - WEYV

WEYV showing as working fine on the Sonos Status page.  Great!  However, WEYV doesn’t appear to exist anymore, lol.  No app in the app store, no plugin for Sonos, their web site is dead, no mention of them on the web since 2019.  Good to know that Sonos shows them up and working, though!

Sonos Controller for Mac

Can we please get some View options? This player is anything but a “mini player.” I don’t need or want to see all those options, or all that blank area there. It is super frustrating that I can’t make that window smaller. I would like it to minimise into something that showed only What’s Playing, Play/Pause/ FF, & RW. Anyone else? Thanks!

Props to SONOS for HD Radio

I just wanted to give SONOS some props for the continual evolution of its HD Radio service. From adding monthly (sometimes twice a month) updates with themed stations, new stations, special event stations, curated stations and even just tweaking and adding stations that fill gaps between different stations, I am getting more and more out of your offering every month. So thank you, keep up the great work and I look forward to what’s next each month and what more you can do with the service. Now you just need to offer a reduced annual rate instead of just monthly and the ability to listen to it via Bluetooth on our Move and Roam speakers. Thank you!

Sonos AMP with connection to HDMI TV. What best audio quality I can achieve?

Hi,I use simple setup for music and TV audio: Apple TV 4k → Samsung TV → Sonos AMP (S2) → HiFi speakers 2.1.I am using HDMI ARC for interconnection as neither my older TV or Sonos AMP support newer HDMI eARC standard. As now Apple Music received support for lossless audio (24-bit/48 kHz on Apple TV for time-being), I started to wonder if I have any quality bottlenecks in my setup because of HDMI ARC. In the Sonos app, Sonos system info I can only find such info:Audio In: Stereo PCM 2.0. PCM means uncompressed audio, but what is its resolution, what is sampling rate? I searched for information on HDMI ARC capabilities in the internet and at best I found articles as this one (https://www.tomsguide.com/us/hdmi-arc-faq,news-26262.html). All those articles have included the same table that shows comparison between TOSLINK, ARC and eARC. In that table it is stated that HDMI ARC audio pass through can have max ~1Mbits/s. If that is true, I am concerned. 1Mbits/s is not so much for uncompresse

Win10 Controller Rova Favorites Display Issue

Not a major issue, but the Rova Service “station” picture displayed against Sonos Favorite stations is missing from the latest Win10 V2 Controller (13.1.2). It displayed OK with previous versions of the Win10 controller and also appears fine on the current IOS V2 controller (13.1.2) for I-Pad or I-Phone.Ross.

Sonos Roam not charging

Hi,My Roam stopped charging few weeks ago. I already tried a lot of charging cables and adapter (of course with more than the 1.5 A - my standard outlet has 5V and 2.4 A). The Charging sets did work at the beginning, but stopped working a weeks from nowWhen I plug in a cable, the LED is red. But even after days it is still red, and not able to start! When I use the Wireless Charging Stand, the LED is not shining at all. So it seams it is not charging at all. I try to start by clicking the button on the back for about 30 seconds or more. And nothing happens. No sound or anything. It really seams to be dead right now. (Even right after days of red charging LED) What can I do now? Any additional tips how I get it working again? Thanks

A simple Question about login startup

When I open the app and start up music from my Itunes library, only a couple of my speakers kick in.  It takes a minute or two for all of them to kick in.  Is this a normal lag or can it be fixed?  Thanks

Apple TV + Projector + Sonos - how to playback audio via Sonos?

Hi there,I have an Apple TV HD (2021) that is connected to my Optoma HD146X projector via HDMI. I want to play video through the Apple TV, but would like to play the audio through my Sonos setup (a Sonos Five and a Sonos One). When i play video through the Apple TV, the sound comes from the beamer built-in speaker through the HDMI cable. I can't figure out where/how to connect the Apple TV to the Sonos for the audio playback. What does work, however, is to go to the Netflix app, and from there scroll down on the Apple TV remote and select the Sonos speakers for playback. If i then switch to any other app, these audio playback settings are carried over to this app, and audio is played through the Sonos speakers. If i then want to change volume, i have to go back to the Netflix app as that seems to be the only place where i can control the audio sound settings for Sonos.Does anyone have an idea what i'm doing wrong and how i can fix this?Thanks in advance!David

SOUND PROFILES PLEASE!!

Please, please SONOS let us be able to save a couple of sound profiles in the APP!I switch between Music, TV and Movies with my Beam and x2 Ones, and one EQ/SOund setting for all doesn’t work.Movies over Netflix are extremely Bass heavy and surrounds overpower the BEAM.Music is perfect& TV needs more Treble.  Please allow me to save my desired Sound settings under 1 button in the APP, so I don’t have to faff about depending on what I am listening too. Thank You.P.S Can you release this update asap :-)

change the turntable icon in app

Hello. I have just linked my turntable to my new sonos 5 and love it. I was wondering though if there was a way to use a custom icon instead of the line in icon? I’d like an image of my turntable here rather than the default line in logo, almost like selecting an album art?

Connect dropping output when grouping to another room

I recently picked up a Connect(gen1) with the hope of playing my turntable through my Sonos speakers (play1's) and my audio amp. So the TT goes into phono preamp into the connect and out to the amp. Playing the TT via the Connect into the amp, no problem. Playing the TT through the Connect to the play1's no problem. However when I group the room with the connect to the room with the play1's the output to the amp drops to virtually zero while the play1's are fine. Have fiddled with variable/fixed volume and the source level sensitivity to no dramatic effect.I am running S1with no issues. Although I am using Google mesh through out the house I have set up the Sonos gear to be on it’s own mesh. Love to hear some thoughts, Cheer, David

Controlling volume via Sonos app in Iphone 11 Pro max

Hi I’m controlling sonos on an Iphone 11 Pro Max via the Sonos app (my speakers are not airplay compatible) and neither the hardware volume controls on the side of the iphone 11 Pro Max, nor the volume slider on the iphone lock screen, are able to control the volume. The only way I can control the volume is via the slider in the app.I have tried turning off and on “hardware volume controls” and “lock screen controls” in the app settings, as well as reinstalling the app, but the problem persists.I would like to select and play all my music within the Idagio app, which streams to Sonos, but even when I play music that I have selected via the browse function in the sonos app the problem persits.

Play: 5 (Gen1) replacement for Dining room

Cross posted from /r/SonosI'd like to make the most out of my 30% upgrade from my Play: 5 (1st gen) purchased in mid 2015. I currently use it in my dining room primarily - it sits atop a bookshelf - but also will use it outdoors when entertaining due to its superior volume over my Sonos One and more portable than my Beam. I considered upgrading my Beam to a more full HT setup, but as my living room isn't square, setting up surround sound wouldn't work nicely even using in ceiling or wall speakers, in relation to where people sit. Adding to that the fact my wife would rather I not spend more than what the Play: 5 was, I am leaning towards something of a hybrid approach that I would like insight into: Connect Amp + hard switch speaker selection.  I know it’s possible but I have yet to find a switch that would let me alternate one set vs another so I might just unplug/plug the other speakers when needed, so I don’t turn up the outdoor speakers and blast the indoor way too much.  Less of a

feature request: roam + move as a 2.1

I have a pair of roams that I use as a stereo pair. I also have a move. I was just thinking it could be pretty cool to as a high pass to the roams and a low pass to the move to be able to use these three as a 2.1 system. I get that the move isn’t a dedicated sub, and I get that it won’t go as low as a dedicated sub, but it’s got much better bass response than the roams and I imagine one could get much better response at higher volumes from this system than running all of them full freq.
