Sonos setup advice needed

Yes, it looks right. Remember, in Sonos terms, a ‘zone’ is a ‘room’. 

One caveat, though. When playing the TV input on room 1, there will be a slight delay in room 2, if you group them. However, when playing music, and not the TV, all Sonos rooms will be in sync.

Below assumes the Zones are in separate rooms. Although you can have multiple Zones in the same room.

• Zone 1: Assuming the ceiling speakers are used as surrounds _ OK
• Zone 2: Ceiling speakers as stand-alone _OK *
• Zone 3: Assuming the ceiling speakers are used as surrounds _ OK

If the assumed configurations are not true...please advise. 

 * Zone 2 will have a 75ms delay if grouped to Zone 1 for TV audio. No delay if grouped for Music

Edit: @Airgetlam types faster than me 🙂

Thank you - it’s mostly an open concept floor plan with

• Zone 1 being a TV area with Bar and Ceiling speakers would be used for surround
• Zone 2 a GYM and ceiling speakers used for Music 
• zone 3 a golf simulator area - utilizes a projector screen and want to create a surround sound effect  

Maybe you already have it figured out but…

Zone 3 may be problematic as using any Sonos soundbar with a projector requires creativity as the soundbar needs to be connected to the projector via HDMI. It may require the use of a HDMI switch or HDFury Arcana to make the proper connections.

Once at the link click on “Getting Started” to see the configuration diagram for the HDFury Arcana.

definitely don’t have that figured out - so for zone 3 if I wanted to connect a Playstation, IPTV and a laptop, I’d need the HDMI Switch or the HDFury.   Any reasonable receiver would do or would you recommend a particular one with Sonos?

The HDMI audio that Sonos is going to be able to play is an ARC signal, not a standard HDMI signal. This implies a connection to a TV that has a CEC computer in it, which actually takes that standard HDMI audio and reflects it back out via the ARC channel(s). Most TVs sold these days have such a system, I’m not familiar with any amplifiers or receivers that do. Many of them will pass the signal, but won’t generate it. There ‘may’ be one or two out there that do, but if so, I’m not familiar with them. This is why you have a hard time connecting almost anything but a TV to a Sonos Arc or Amp, including any game consoles, or normal A/V receivers. They just don’t generate that ARC signal that Sonos needs.
