Add your AirPlay2-compatible Sonos speakers to the Apple Home app and then use an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV to ask Siri to play music (currently limited to Apple Music). You’ll make some changes in both apps during setup. Google Assistant: you’ll need the Sonos app and the Google Assistant app.Amazon Alexa: you’ll need the Sonos app and the Alexa app with the Sonos skill enabled.Sonos Voice Control comes ready to use-it only takes a few seconds to add when you set up your speakers. Sonos Voice Control: control your whole Sonos system with hands-free ease and unmatched privacy.Go ahead and set Audio DRC to Off so there isn’t any compression.Īlso, on the Arcana under the Audio menu, set the “Add PCM 8ch” setting to ON.Use your voice to control your Sonos system with any voice-enabled Sonos product-play and control content, turn the volume up or down, and more. Keep this setting on Auto when playing Dolby discs. When playing DTS-encoded discs, set the Digital Audio Output setting on the Blu-ray player to PCM. Sonos supports LPCM audio when connected to a TV with eARC or when using the Arcana. Basically, I just wish Panasonic would release a firmware to allow the arc port on my tv to be eArc and I could avoid all of this crap. Whereas if i locked in PCM, I will only get 2.0 (HD Fury customer services were adamant that Sonos will not accept PCM 7.1.go figure), and then obviously Atmos and other bitstream outputs won’t work. So I assuming that when it passes through the Arcana it is using bitstream and outputting at DTS for DTS films. Unfortunately so far as i can see the Sony BDP 700 will only let you choose between PCM, Bitstream or Auto. Have you considered setting your player to convert DTS to PCM so you get lossless Multichannel PCM audio from DTS-encoded discs instead? Multichannel PCM is higher quality audio than lossy DTS Digital Surround. I’m assuming you want to get DTS audio from Blu-ray discs. So please only reply if you have something helpful to contribute. NOTE: any sarcastic or unhelpful comments can be filed in the “bite me” pile. It is only when relaying back through the Arcana that handshake problems arise. So I thought I’d ask here and see if anyone has experienced anything similar and found a solution?įYI, TV and Sonos work perfectly together when connected directly. I have spoken to HD Fury’s less than adequate customer service, and they have no answers blaming the Panasonic or the Sonos. Plus it means the kids can’t just stick on movie on without me being there to change it all over. Liveable, but a massive pain in the fact that most of my set up is in hidden cables, so each change over is a bit of an exercise in inconvenience. So now the Arcana is being used ONLY for the blu-ray with its own designated connector to the Sonos and I have to manual make that change any time I want to use it. Clearly a handshake issue between the TV and the Sonos through the Arcana.Įssentially meaning I had to remove TV audio from the situation completely, and now I have TV audio going straight to the Sonos and have to manually swap cables on the Sonos when I am watching blu-ray. But if I reset TV, load up Netflix, then switch to PS5 channel, I get audio. Sometimes only worked once i loaded up native Netflix app. One of the benefits (loosely termed) of the Arcana is that it can relay TV sound through the port back to the Sonos. This worked in theory…but not consistently. So now I have PS5 and Nintendo going straight to TV and Blu-ray passing through Arcana. I was originally using a HDMI splitter for blu-ray, PS5 and Nintendo. I recently (and frankly, stupidly) bought an Arcana to pass through audio to my Sonos Arc in an effort to get full access to DTS capabilities. Set-Up: Panasonic GZ1000, Sonos Arc, Arcana, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Sony Blu-Ray UBP-700
