I had my Sonos for over a year before by accident I saw that you had to go to your tv settings and put the arc on pass-though on the tv setting and the Dolby atmos on and wow it came to life the acoustics was absolutely amazing thought I was at the proms Sonos is one of the best home cinema I have looked at and heard but you need to know how to tune it to get the best out of it I have just started using surround sound on my arc after using stereo pair for some time and surround sound 😮is a class of its own you will hear the sound come from every direction and though you words can not express how much Sonos have put into this system and the updates keep making it better 😃 so folks hurry up and buy 🎉 you won’t be disappointed 10/10

Why doesnt it connect to the app on my iphone?

around 02:00 are you saying "once you have your surround speakers where you want them. make sure you add both speakers to your system as seperate rooms"? So in the sonos app you should add sonos ARC to one room and the 2 ERA 300 to another room? and then set them up as surround?

Anyone else having issues with app not finding devices?

@sonos thanks! Could you please take a video of the setting for the Sub mini ?

What if you have an AV receiver? Is arc compatible?

I have an older cable looks like a hdmi but smaller. What's the name of it. It doesn't say

I'm so depressed. Our LG OLED TV has a very short stand so we couldn't place the soundbar in front of the TV. We purchased a new TV stand that has a soundbar shelf, and now I'm watching this video *after* my husband spent 2 hours assembling the stand. The sound will be blocked on the top of my new Sonos Arc 😳

Why do you need to set them up as separate rooms?

Picking up ARC, ERA 100's and Gen 3 Sub along with a new LG 77" OLED today for my parents. LG sits low on stand and SONOS claims "Minimum of 4" between bottom of TV and top of soundbar" In this video by SONOS it clearly isn't. How important is this ? While I can be creative on raising TV just a tad, the best & quickest is the SANUS Elite Swivel TV Stand that definitely raise it to 4" above ARC. It's $170. ARC is already looking to be 1.4"above bottom of screen. Just wondering how important it is if it's not even 4" above in this video. Thanks.

All this technology and high cost, but no bluetooth!! Even cheapo $30 soundbars have bluetooth. So frustrating!

I have a surround setup with Beam Gen 2, sub gen 3 and 2 ERA 300. I am going to get an Arc to replace the Beam. How to change the setup?

[aaronarmijo]

My “hey google play *song*” feature won’t work. I’ve restarted it & tried everything! 😅

[venkattekuru]

The era 300s should be same room otherwise it won't allow the arc to set up as surround sound...

[reality]

The Arc not having a volume adjustment, at this price point, is very disappointing. I just got a Sonos system and am jaw dropped at the low dialogue on dvd movies and streaming. Unacceptable for a several thousand dollar system
