What to get

Hi,   I currently have a setup with an amplifier and 5 sorround standard speakers with a connection to a blu ray playewr, PS4 and a nintendo switch. Would it be possible to replace the amplifier and speakers with a sonos ARC and how would I have to do to connect multiple HDMI devices in to it?   The TV I have is 6 months old OLED capable of handling Dolby Vision.   Many Thanks in advance.

Hi, we have a Connect wired with ethernet cable (so running Sonosnet).  We also have a Play5 (original) connected to the Sonosnet wifi.  The Play5 is on a different floor and a couple rooms away, so a pretty good distance from the Connect.   The Play5 (primarily used by my wife) has pretty frequent dropouts when using Spotify.  It’s been doing this for several months.  I’d like to fix this for her, as I’ve noticed that she is using the Play5 less and less because of this.   Scenario 1: Do you think adding a Boost would help, located somewhere between the Connect and Play5, but not hardwired with ethernet cable?   Scenario 2: I could also add a Boost and hardwire it with ethernet cable, then position it a bit closer to the Play5 (in the basement, several feet below the Play5).  In this case, I would like have a 10/100 network switch between my router and the Boost (not sure if that matters).  Of course, this would require running some ethernet cable, but is doable.  I don’t have a clean

Currently, I have 5.1 setup with Sonos Beam, Sub and 2 rear play 1 speakers. But my Smart TV does not support eARC and atmos. Should I upgrade to Sonos Arc for better sound? Or the current setup does not justify for the expensive price of Sonos Arc since I have the Sub and rear speakers and the TV does not support eARC and Atmos.

I need some assistance in figuring out which products I need, in order to do what I want to do.   Layout: I have 2 rooms on opposite sides of the house, that both have TVs separated by a dining room in between.  I would like to be able to to play the same music in all 3 rooms(2 dens, 1 dining room) if necessary, however also be able to have the option to have just the dining and 1 den continue to play music while another room is playing sound from the TV.   I assume I need 2 “Beams” and then a few play 1s but it is unclear to me.  Any guidance would be much appreciated!

How does an ARC + 2 Play 1’s compare to a traditional 5.1 setup? My TV’s HDMI-ARC  does not support Dolby ATMOS, so I am limited to Dolby Digital.

Just wanted to mention that there are a few reviews there, wondering how these people got them and if indeed they are legitimate?

Please forgive me. I am not tech savy at all. I currently have the Sonos 5.1 home theater system with playbase. I have ordered the Sonos Arc. How will  I go about removing the playbase from the system and then installing the arc ? I also would like to sell the playbase to a friend. How do I factory reset the playbase ? Thank you in advance for kind responses.    

Hi I’ve just preordered a Sonos Arc and I’ve just received a Samsung Q95T which is a TV which has its brains in a separate ‘one connect’ box that sits separate to the TV allowing the TV to be thinner.    The one connect box has all the plugs for the TV including HDMI. So I need to run a HDMI cable 5m form the one connect box to my soon to arrive Sonos Arc.    Should I be looking out for a specific brand or type of HDMI cable?    Many thanks 

Hi All, My living room TV currently has a cheap Visio Soundbar, I also have my Alexa and Turntable setup to Audioengine A5s. I want to upgrade to the Sonos Arc and Sonos Sub, however I’m not sure what to do with my turntable, I kind of want to get rid of the A5s because I think the Arc + Sonos Sub will sound much better than just the 2 Audioengine A5s for room listening (especially since I have no sub with the A5s). What are your opinions as to how to go about this? Should I keep the A5s and join them with a Port? Or get rid of the A5s and get a Five for Line In? Or is the best solution getting an AMP and using the A5s as surround? Will this properly crossover the Sonos Sub and Soundbar?

Hey. Hope you’re all well. I bought a Sonos Play Five a month ago and I’m loving the quality of it - however I was a little annoyed when the newly rebranded Sonos Five was announced so soon after buying the Play 5. Apart from more storage and the new radio feature in the newer model, will there be any noticeable differences to the sound between the old and new and would it be beneficial to buy the newer model? Thanks 

Hello all,  I see there is a discount for nurses and first responders. Is there also a discount for resident physicians? I’m a resident at Texas Children’s hospital. Some of the nurses were talking about how much they love their sonos speaker. I thought it would be nice to put a few in my office and patient rooms to play some calming music on stressful nights. 

Will be getting ARC next month. Should I upgrade Play:1 to One or SL as surrounds? Since ARC has GA built in do I need surrounds to have GA capability too?

Will I be able to experience the full Dolby Atmos sound with my 65” LG SK8000 PUA TV with the Arc soundbar?

I have 5 Sonos speakers and loved waking up to my local radio station and being able to listen in every room.  My local station recently stopped streaming on all of the radio apps.  I want to purchase a stereo receiver that will connect to my Sonos system.  What receiver will work and what other equipment is needed?   I will be looking to sell my Sonos if I can’t find a solution.   I believe Yamaha has a system that works with receivers.   Thank you in advance. 

Just received the email about the Dolby Atmos supported Sonos Arc. Jumping out of my skin with excitement but what do I do with my current Playbar? Will there be a trade offer available for loyal customers?  

Is it right to assume that the RCA inputs of a Connect/Amp/Port will provide a better Vinyl experience than the Line-In of a Play:5? Thinking about for multi-room L-R speaker separation… Thanks!

Sonos tells me that my Connect 90 will no longer be supported in May.  What Sonos products would be a good replacement  for these?  I have two of them connected to free standing receivers in remote areas of my home. Thanks 

Hi,   Random question, I noticed the Move does not regester any VAT in it’s price. Is it somehow exempt while the other speakers etc are not?    Thanks in advance

I replaced my Sonos Connect with a Sonos Port. I used an optical cable to bypass the Sonos DAC (in the Connect) to take the signal to a dedicated Arcam DAC. This option is no longer available with the port, which just has a digital out connection. My question is, can I use an RCA cable instead of a digital coaxial cable (which has an RCA connector anyway).Even if it works, can I be certain that this will not damage either my port or Arcam DAC?

If I pre order the Arc, will it be charged to my credit card immediately or when it actually ships?

Hi there,  I’ve just got rid of my archaic surround sound system and, after research, want to buy the Sonos Beam. However I’ve heard that Sonos may introduce a Dolby Atmos version next month and I’ll kick myself if I’ve bought one in May to find a Dolby Atmos version available in June! Is it likely that this will be the Playbar not the beam? And any idea on cost? The Beam is probably about as much as I’m happy to spend.    Thank you!

Can someone please clarify the 2015 cutoff month for the Connect to be considered a Modern Product?This really shouldn’t be this hard, but Sonos fumbles around on this question. For example, I want to add a November 2015 Connect to an S2 system. From what I can tell l *should* be okay if I buy this unit. But that’s not 100% clear. Does Sonos not know??  

Hi everyone I have a TEAC TN-280BT record player and a Sonos Beam. I have tried a Bose Bluetooth speaker on it via Bluetooth but volume does not go very high in sound? I was thinking of getting a sonos move and pairing it via Bluetooth but I’m a bit worried it will be the same as the Bose  or get a play 5 and use audio output lead to connect to record player? Anybody know if I will get better sound and volume this way. Also I’m hoping to be able to pair the new speaker with the Sonos Beam. Thanks in advance for any help. Andy  

I'm working on an outdoor projector/speaker setup.  I currently have the following: A projector which has an HDMI input, but no high quality audio output.  A Sonos Amp wired to outdoor speakers. An iPad that has a lightning to HDMI output connector.   I’m trying to figure out if I can use an HDMI splitter to send the video signal via one HDMI cable to the projector and the audio signal via another HDMI cable to the Sonos Amp HDMI Arc input. Will the HDMI Arc input accept sound via an HDMI cable in this manner?  Or do I have to get an HDMI splitter with optical output and then connect an optical cable to the Sonos Optical Audio Adapter which then plugs into the Sonos Amp HDMI Arc input?  Would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks!

My TV currently has a Playbar connected via Optical Cable and the sound has been wonderful. However, we have two rear speakers that we have not been utilizing and now it’s time for a slight upgrade. I’m looking to add a Sonos AMP (new version) to the mix.    Question for the community: Will Sonos AMP be connected wirelessly to Playbar? Or do I need to physically connect it to HDMI ARC from the TV as well?
