The Sonos Arc WILL deliver Dolby Atmos sound through an older Arc HDMI connection. It's done via lossy Dolby Digital Plus,. but the sound is indeed Atmos and it sounds great. Is an eArc connection better, I'd say yes. But you don't need to get a new TV with eArc just yet as long as you have an Arc HDMI port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Wow, So many un-informed people assuming the catch phrase they heard on some tech blog is what they need. Lets explain. Lets assume for at least the beginning of this you are streaming since that's what most people are going to do. ARC will indeed work for Atoms on this TV, if the program being watched is encoded in Atmos, and if the app in question supports atmos. You do not need e-ARC for ANY app. The only time you need e-ARC is for uncompressed Dolby Atmos, which is only available from hard media such as a UHD Blu-ray or a video game. Then and only then will e-ARC be needed. Typically even in those situations they offer the uncompressed version of Dolby Atmos if your TV does not have e-ARC. However since 99% of people only stream it is most likely not needed. There is no app that would pay the additional $$ needed to support the additional bandwidth for uncompressed Dolby Atmos, that's silly and a bad business decision. Anyone who tells you otherwise is WRONG, I understand as a consumer you might want the better option but its just not happening with streaming, that's the sacrifice for convivence you get. Difference between Compressed and Un-Compressed Dolby Atmos content would be very minimal on this soundbar and most users probably wouldn't be able to hear a difference if they were played both, and I would even say on a $100,000 pieced together audio system most would not hear the difference, even though this is a good soundbar. Dolby Digital Plus or sometimes referred to Dolby Digital Plus with Atmos will play atmos content in a compressed format(this is the format ALL apps use). However the Un-Compressed and lossless format that needs the bandwidth from e-ARC is Dolby True HD (This is what can be found on SOME Blu-ray's or video games).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your TV needs an HDMI eARC as opposed to the standard HDMI ARC connection. Check your owners manual or the manufacturer. DOLBY ATMOS is an uncompressed signal format and your TV must be able to pass it through to the ARC soundbar.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need EARC for the Atmos to work. Idc what anyone says I dealt with this for two weeks until I caved and bought the HD FURY ARCANA to fix my issue. This device somehow gives older TVs EARC. You can get Atmos over normal TV apps and the fire stick but I am convinced it was not working the same as how it is working now.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No mention of Atmos here https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/5013/7bac467d751a03112a6effee53a9daa5/50135011M.pdf
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Only a few newer Tvs can take advantage of the Dolby Atmos sound. Check to see if one of your HDMI outlets on the TV have ARC-e. this is needed for full Dolby Atmos experience. You also will need to watch a program that broadcasts in Dolby Atmos as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.looking at the SONOS ARC sound bar, room is 20'L& 12'W. 13' from tv to recliner. Just set up 2020 65" x950h on a table. Had an old Bose surround sound system ,hurt my ears, hoping sound bars are better. Question: I think I read where I need a HDMI 2.1 for Atmos - I think mine is HDMI 2.0 eARC/ ARC port . Mostly TV & movies w/ a few blue rays movies / stremming you tube & amazon .
