eARC to AMP (newbie question)

I just beginning to investigate taking the dive into the Sono world. I don't know if what I'd like to do will work and I'm looking for some advice.

 

I'm thinking of using using a Samsung Frame that has it's "one connect box" connected to a Sonos AMP using eARC. The AMP and the one connect box are hidden in a cabinet across the room from the Frame TV with the extra long "one connect cable". The one connect box will have other HDMI devices plugged into it. The AMP would also be powering existing in-wall rear surround speakers. 

 

Under the Samsung Frame would be a Beam (or Arc) sound bar. The sound bar I hope would just using wifi so there are no addition cables between the TV and the sound bar.

 

Does it work like this? Can the AMP handle the eARC input from the TV and share it with the Beam/Arc soundbar wirelessly?

 

I don't know a lot about how the Sonos ecosystem works, any insight would be greatly appreciated! And thanks for any help in advance!

Unfortunately it won’t work that way. The Beam or Arc will need to connect directly to the eARC port on the One Connect box. The Beam or Arc will then communicate wirelessly with the Amp when it is connected/bonded to the Beam or Arc as surrounds.

Doh. So glad I asked. Thank you! bummer that the one connect box would need a cable run back to the Beam/Arc to make this work.

Note, also, that unfortunately, there are quite a few threads in this area of the forum complaining about the implementation of ARC done by Samsung for the Frame.
