@mrgold3591 That Sonos setup should sound incredible! We hope you're enjoying it!

@SimonLeicester We actually just made individual videos for the Era 100 and Era 300 on our other channel. Here are links to check them out: Era 100 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gM1jfMmD18udlHU.html, Era 300 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdBykrhpy6-Uh5s.html

You will need the app and wifi for the initial set up process, I.O.S. device if you want to do room TruePlay tuning, and the app if you want to adjust any of the soundbar settings (audio height, bass/treble/sub levels, ambient or full rear surrounds for music, grouping additional speakers, internet/WiFi music, troubleshooting any issues with Sonos, etc...). I had an old iPhone 6S+ collecting dust in a junk drawer I repurposed as the Sonos remote in my main TV room if my iPhone 13 Pro Max or iPad 11 isn't in arms reach. The theater group (Arc, sub, & One SLs) will stay grouped together and won't change unless you want to update the speakers (ungroup One SLs and re-group new Era 100/300 or add additional Gen 3 Sub). The Sonos systems are always on for faster start up time. They go into a sleep mode when the TV is off; but, start up in about the same time as it takes for the TV to start playing. I probably just turn on the TV and adjust the volume levels only 95% of the time. I use the app when I need to make slight adjustments to sound levels of the show I'm watching, grouping more speakers for whole house audio, or selecting internet/wifi music.

@@mrgold3591 Thank you so much for your thorough reply. Repurposing an old iPhone is genius and also have one lying around :-)

The Play 3s should work well with the Arc.

Does your TV have eArc or Arc? You might not get Atmos or spatial audio if you only have Arc or optical connection with your TV. Arc connection will only give you Dolby 5.1.The Arc or Beam Gen 2, Sonos sub (Mini or Gen 3 sub), and Era 300 is the set up to maximize Atmos and spatial audio with an eArc connection from newer TVs.

@benjaminsaravia They just released the Era 100 and 300 series speakers to match up with it so we don't expect a new soundbar for a while still. Here are links to some videos we did on those speaker from our other channel. Era 300: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdBykrhpy6-Uh5s.html Era 100: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gM1jfMmD18udlHU.html

Don’t buy you will be disappointed

@sasovalerio1 bought it & definitely well worth it 👌🏿

Yes

@skynetintex5878 The Sonos Arc, as well as any soundbar, is really designed to replace a receiver. In your situation, you'd basically be using the receiver as a switcher. You can run all your sources into the receiver, then run an HDMI from the receivers HDMI Out to one of the TVs HDMI inputs (not the one labeled ARC*). Then run another from the TV's HDMI ARC* to the Sonos Arc's HDMI port. This way your receiver will feed the signals from your different sources to the TV, and the TV will then send the audio to the Sonos Arc. *ARC = Audio Return Channel

Are you adding the Arc and still want to use the receiver with wired speakers/sub? I have a newer LG OLED with eArc (to the Sonos Arc) and 3 other TV HDMI inputs are for everything else (Blu-ray player, Playstation, etc...). I need the eArc connection to get Atmos out to the Sonos soundbar.

@davidcarroll7193 Is it just the Arc that you can't select? Or did all your speakers disappear from the System tab? If it's just the Arc, try doing a reset on the speaker by unplugging it from its power source, then hold down the Join button and plug it back in and continue to hold the Join button until the LED flashes orange and white. When the process is done it will start to flash green.

@@youjustboughta I have a beam gen 2 , a sub and 2 ones and none of the speakers show up on the system tab.

@davidcarroll7193 If nothing is showing up then you may need to reset the Sonos app. To do this, tap the Settings tab, then tap App Preferences. Go to the bottom of the App Preferences menu and tap Reset App. Then close and reopen the app. Hopefully this gets you back up and running.

@@youjustboughta no that didn’t work, all I’m getting is living room not what speakers are there

@@youjustboughta could it be that I have a iPhone 8?

You must love Republicans. The party of NO!🤣

I concur that was my experience with Sonos arc and gen 3 sub.

Are you sure
