A:AnswerThe Sonos Arc is designed with creating an incredible sound experience in mind, which includes providing crystal clear dialog. The Sonos Arc can be tuned to your room using the Trueplay process that the set up of the Arc walks you through. Additionally, all Sonos Home Theater products have a mode called "Speech Enhancement" that is designed to raise the volume of the center channel for dialog to improve the clarity of dialog even further.
A:AnswerAbsolutely! You can group Sonos Ones in other rooms to hear television audio or they can be set up as rear channel speakers for Arc in a home theater configuration!
A:AnswerHi, and thank you for this question. Unfortunately you cannot use the Connect as surround with a receiver, as the receiver is controlling the crossover to the surrounds. To use surrounds, we must be controlling what goes to the surround speakers and when. However, you can use the Sonos AMP to do this, and plug that directly into our in ceilings. Bypassing the receiver and allowing us to control the crossover.
A:AnswerThe Sonos Arc is designed to work with a wide range of voltages, from 100V to 240V, so it will function properly on 220V. You can use a plug adapter to fit the pins, and the device should automatically adjust to the voltage without any issues. There's no need for a voltage converter, just ensure the plug adapter is compatible with your local socket type.
A:AnswerSonos does work with Android. There are two top firing speakers, and the reason we don't include a remote is because it learns the one you are already using with your tv. :)
A:AnswerHi, and thank you for your question. You shouldn't run into any problems with set up. Just make sure after everything is set up, the propper audio codecs are being pushed to your Sonos Arc in the Tv's audio/speaker settings.
A:AnswerHi, and thank you for your question. The answer to working with the Apple TV remote is "technically no, but yes"
If the Arc is plugged into your Tv via the ARC HDMI port on your tv that activates what's called CEC. Using your apple tv remote (or your phone's side volume buttons) will control Arc's volume because the Apple Tv is commanding the Arc through your Tv's ARC port via CEC.
We know... confusing. The simple answer is; Yes, as long as the Sonos Arc is plugged in via ARC. If you plug in into the tv using optical with the included adapter... no.
A:AnswerI've encountered the same behavior, and have not been able to figure this one out myself. We have the Samsung Frame TV and the audio will play through the TV for about 3 seconds before automatically switching back to the ARC. Rather frustrating.
A:AnswerHi I have Samsung 2020 q70t with eArc and Sonos arc. I love it. Both work together and sound is amazing. I got dolby Atmos as well. I also have apple tv 4k which giving me more movies and shows with atmos.
A:AnswerPS; since the Arc is Dolby Atmos soundbar, it is optimal at ear level. You can mount it anywhere of course, but it might not sound as accurate or even appropriate if iis mounted above/higher than the tv depending on its relation to your ear level.
A:AnswerIt comes with an HDMI cable; not sure if it's 4k but I'm not sure if it matters.
I have my 4k Bluray player and 4k Firestick plugged into HDMI ports in the back of the TV and the Sonos Arc HDMI cable plugged into the ARC/eArc port. It's only returning sound not video.
Maybe someone more tech savy can elaborate.
Long story short, it works great.
A:AnswerIf you lose WiFi you will not be able to control the speaker with your mobile device. The ARC is still connected to your TV via a cable. So you are still able to use it as you would normally.
A:AnswerBe sure the TV has at a minimum an ARC (HDMI) output. Keep in mind that ARC is different than the standard HDMI. It is the same connection, but the SONOS ARC needs a HDMI ARC output or better yet, the eARC output that is only on newer televisions. eARC provides the best sound to fully utilize the SONOS ARC ATMOS sound. You can use the optical output of the TV with the included optical to HDMI adapter also. My TV is a 2013 SAMSUNG and has the ARC output, not the eARC. I am totally happy with the sound and figure if I don't know what ATMOS sounds like I can't be disappointed. I did buy the sub-woofer and 2 SONSO 1's to go with my setup and am extremely happy with the system.
A:AnswerHi, and thank you for your question. If you put another Sonos speaker outside and only want to hear the tv audio out of that speaker, you can group the outdoor speaker with Arc, and then mute Arc. Then, the audio will only play out of the outdoor speaker!
