What to get

Good morningI want to buy the Sonos arc (at the time only the arc without sorround nor sub).I Have only une Ethernet cable in the room; the question is: if I connect the ethernet to the Arc, can I see Netflix/Disney Plus in the TV (the Arc will share the Internet with the TV) or should I connect the Ethernet to the TV and work with the Arc in Wifi.In this second case, what problems can I have?Thanks in advance and excuse my poor English

Hi there,I am considering to add the Sonos Amp to my setup, but I´ve got some questions:Lets say I connect my PC to it using the ARC port (via optical) and my laptop using LineIn. I would love to set up so that a signal from the ARC input auto-plays on the connected passive speakers, while a LineIn input auto-plays to another speaker. This never happens at the same time, but I don´t want to change the autoplay setting every time using it for the other input/player-combination. Is there a way to set this up?Adding another port to my setup for the LineIn part would solve my problem, but I am trying to prevent this.Thank you for your help and have a nice weekend :DKind regards,Max

Hello, I’m interested to buy Sonos arc black but there is not any available in Poland for some reason . I have found few white ones ( not fitting with my furniture). Do you have any ideas why is like that. I have contacted few shops in Poland and they can’t give me the answer when they will have black ones. Any idea ? 

Hi,Before i take the plunge and buy an additional Sonos 5 to create a stereo pair, will this work if i only use one speaker with aux input?To elaberate a little, i’m currently coming out of a mixer with RCA to jack cable into aux input of a single Sonos 5, but want an addtional Sonos 5 to create a pair.I used to use a connect to two 1’s but the delay from mixer cue to actual speacker output was hiddious so switched to a 5 with aux input, which still slightly delays but tollerable. Just dont want to get into that situation again (if its even possible).Cheers guys 

Hello! Just purchased my first few speakers this week. I have a quick question re a potential set up involving 2 x Five, 2 x One SL, 1 x Sub. If I purchase an Arc, could I have this in the middle under my TV, a Five on either side of it, the sub at the back of the room, and the two Ones on either side of the sub? I see lots of set ups with either Fives or Ones at the back of the room, with an Arc under the TV, but I haven't found any yet that have speakers on either side of the Arc as well. Any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated.  

Hi guys, new on here so excuse my lack of knowledge about speakers. I'm building a house and wanted some advice on speaker placement. I will mainly be using them for watching TV and listening to music. I was going to use the sonos arc, sub and 2 ceiling speakers for rears. I'm open to using wall mounted if that's a better option sound wise. I have included a picture of the room layout (circled) so all suggestions welcome, thanks.  

Hiis play 5suitable for a very small room (about 6 sqm) and for very quiet late night listening?I.e.  can sonos five be played in very low volume,and stil provide extremely good sound and bass?Thanks :)     

I have not received my replacement Sonos speaker and Sonos will take no responsibility as they say it was dispatched by them via UPS. It was scheduled for delivery on 30th September according to the tracking but UPS can’t tell me where it is. I have 11 products from Sonos but I cannot run the risk of purchasing anymore because Sonos take the money upfront and if the product doesn’t arrive, the customer has to stand the loss. Shame on Patrick Spencer, CEO for allowing this malpractice.

Hi, I am moving house and looking to upgrade my Sonos system. I am thinking of an Arc + Sub + 2 x Play1 to compliment my existing 2 x Play 1’s. The system is to be largely for music but also for movies. I am thinking of having a surround set up in the sofa area with 2 of the 1’s on stands adjacent to the sofa with two further 1’s in the kitchen and dining areas. One concern with the Arc is the shape of the ceiling and that the TV and Arc will be closer to one side wall than the other. Is this an issue or does the addition of the sub and surround 1’s negate any potential problems? Happy for people to suggest alternate options but I am quite keen on this set up as get 30% off from upgrading my old Play 5 which saves a whopping £600 on the set!!  

I have a superb LG CX 65inches TV that works with my Sonos beam. I would like to have better sounds but without throwing infinite amount of money.Is adding rear play 1 to my Beam would be overall better sounds investment than switching to Sonos ARC? Going the play 1 route would be also cheaper.Atmos content for me seems to be poor yet so it wouldn't be a good reason for me now.What do you think guys?

Hi, just wanting to check as I’m considering a Beam which needs S2 . All my components are on the S1 app at present.I have only got a bridge that’s not compatible with S2 - The rest (connect,play5 2nd gen and play 1) are.The bridge is used solely to get the play 5 working in a remote room.I think I’m right in saying I could have the bridge on S1, and the rest on S2?My concern is that the Sonos mesh between the bridge and any other components won’t be affected by being on different apps? i.e. the play5 will still work by being close to the Bridge (which is hard wired via cat cabling to the router)Or should I change to a boost??ThanksJohn      

I am thinking of buying the new Beam but also getting 2 extra speakers for surround sound. I’ve read the document on how to , in general, setup surround sound speakers. It states that they need to be in line of sight to the device (Beam it would be in my case). However I was planning on tucking the extra speakers down and to either side of the sofa. They won’t be in line of sight. Is this going to cause me a problem? What may not work?

HiNew to Sonos and looking to get the Sonos Beam Gen 2 to go with my LG C1 and PS5. How would this connectivity work for sound? 1. LG C1 to Sonos Beam Gen 2 via the eArc HDMI 2 (port 2)? 2. PS5 to C1 via HDMI 2.1 (port 1)Simple as that? How about the atmos setup I see a few threads about trouble with this?Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am reviewing/seeking a soundbar that has some synchronization control over the incoming signal. I would like to be able to connect, via RCA jacks, a line level audio-only source such as a guitar emulation device or an optical to RCA audio converter coming from a standard HDMI equipped television. I’ve noticed when I played around an earlier version of the Sonos One amp that there is a delay from the time I dplay a chord on electric guitar going through a digital amplifier line level out via RCA then through the Sonos and ultimately out the speakers, that there is a considerable delay. The other scenario is connecting 10 year old HDMI digital television and feeding the audio output (via optical) through an optical converter to RCA and into the Sonos that the same delay is noticed. Is there anything on the market today that has some audio delay adjustment perhaps in an app, to remediate this delay of the incoming component signal? Thank you

Hi guys,my current setup is a 2016 Sony TV (xd49xd7005TV) +new AppleTV 4k (6gen): my TV has an ARC output, but no eARC. It supports up to Dolby Digital plus (no ATMOS).I’m thinking to add to this setup a Sonos Beam (2nd gen). I was just wondering how to connect the whole system. Should I connect Apple TV with my TV through HDMI and then my TV with the BEAM through ARC (using a regular HDMI cable)? Or should I do it some other way?And what sound will get out of it? Will it be Atmos? Dolby digital? Or even less? Thank you! Bart 

Hi - I am working on a market/coffee shop setup in a 3000 sq/ft rectangular room.  Looking to have background music in the space.  What kind of setup would you suggest?  

I am in the beginnings of an extensive remodel and planning to use Sonos for home audio.I will have in ceiling speakers in one bedroom, kitchen, and likely the living area (which is in the same open area as the kitchen. i will also have a pair of outdoor speakers in a covered porch.If I desired to play different audio in each of these zones, then the speakers would have to be connected to different amps, correct? In other words, if the bedroom and living room are on the same amp, they would only be able to play the same audio right?

My returns parcel is being sent back to sender via UPS why? I have printed off the returns label and put the customs paperwork in an envelope and stuck it to the parcel.UPS haven’t given me a reason.Deric

Hello,I’m actually using a Sonos Connect to have the sound of my other Sonos material (Sonos Amp and Play:1 1st gen so no Airplay 2) on my old Yamaha home theater amp.I can’t figure it out if I will still need the Connect if I upgrade my amp for a model with ethernet/wifi/DLNA. Could someone enlighten me on this point?Thank you

I can’t figure out the best solution for new pool area.  Speakers can be located under a hard roof pavilion so no exposure to sun/rain/snow but humidity can be significant in the summer. Pavilion has electric but is located about 100 feet from where I could place a Sonos Connect or Amp in my basement and wired to passive outdoor speakers.Is that too long of a run?Keep in mind I have existing passive outdoor speakers about 50 feet from other side of pool opposite pavilion. Those are on and below my deck with a short run (5-10 feet) just inside the foundation wall. Would the human ear notice a timing difference if playing music from both the pavilion (100 foot run) and deck (10 foot run)?

 I have an S1 system that I’d like to keep as S1 (x2 Play 1’s and a Connect) I now need a PlayBar and would prefer not to buy secondhand. If the refurbished PlayBar from Sonos ships with S2 then is it possible to revert to S1?  Or, does it in fact ship with S1??Thank you in advance!! Steve

Hi all - I have a question regarding integrating my B&O system into my Sonos network.Currently I have a Sonos Playbar in my bedroom, and a Sonos Move in the Kitchen. I like being able to link them together to play music throughout my house. But in my living room, I have a B&O Beosound 9000 wired to B&O Beolab 8000 speakers. I’d love to be able to get these linked into the Sonos system somehow. I’ve been looking at Port and Amp and trying to figure out how that could work, but confused as to which product (if either) to buy, and how to connect them to the 8000/9000. My aim would be to have the B&O system function as if it was a Sonos product on my Sonos network - i.e. stream to it from my phone, link and de-link with the Move/Playbar, etc. Also, will the Move/Amp be able to auto power-on the B&O system and what adapters/cables do I need? Many thanks in advance!! 

All sorted now no need to respond thanks! 

Hi Everyone, I currently have a beam with two One SL set up as surround sound. I am looking to add a sub though am faced with a dilemma. I have two dumb speakers that were a gift from my father that I would like to also utilise. Given that a Sonos Amp is the same cost as a Sub, I am considering buying that instead and purchasing a 3rd party sub to go with it. Will the Sonos amp allow integration of the dumb speakers as front L+R giving me 5.1 surround? And will the 3rd party sub work as well in the system as a Sonos sub would? Has anyone got a similar set up? I assume using the 5.1 through the dumb speakers would prevent TruePlay, is that going to be noticeable? Am i better off just sticking with a purely Sonos set up as 3.1?Cheers,Lee 

I purchased my Sonos a few months ago and it started making a blaring noise out of no where. It was so loud to a point it would wake us up in the middle of the night. After going back and forth with their support (I had to send video evidence). They agreed to ship me another unit.  Since I had originally thrown away the box that came with it, I paid over $40 dollars to get it packaged by UPS. The return Unit I received came in a tattered box and was moving while in the box and they also did not ship the power supply which they were adamant that I ship back with them. I’m taken back at the way this was sent to me being that his is a $800 unit.
