Can I play music from my iPhone when the TV is off? I know it does not have Bluetooth, so I was wondering if it was possible to stream music directly from my phone. I use Spotify/YouTube if that makes any difference. null

Yes you can using the Sonos App. It uses WiFi instead of Bluetooth, which is better as you won’t hear those anyone disruptions when you get a text or message. You can also link your Music services and stream directly from them, you’ll love that feature with Spotify.

The Arc is designed to provide incredible sound for your television but also provide incredible sound when your television is off! The Arc can be controlled by the Sonos app to stream over 80 music streaming services and will show up as a device in your Spotify app to play directly from that app as well!

Yes you can stream to the Arc using Apple AirPlay 2. AirPlay is much better than Bluetooth in terms of sound quality and it you have other AirPlay enabled devices, you can play music to all of them simultaneously.

You can stream from various streaming services while the tv is off. You just have to use the Sonos app on your phone to stream over the WiFi network.

As long as you have updated iOS on your iPhone, you can send audio from your phone using AirPlay the Sonos app will also link to any streaming service as well. I’m still waiting for my arc to arrive, but I am currently using a Sonos amp to power wall speakers, 2 Sonos powered speakers and a and Sonos subwoofer. The system is all controlled by the app seamlessly. The arc should link to the same network when tv is off.
