Some LG tv’s have option to adjust delay on audio, I think it’s called AV sync adjustment, look through you menu, If your LG support it, could be straight forward solution. |

There is very little that can fix picture before sound, this has been a big issue to lots of people (not just Sonos) and we are all hoping Arcana does what it claims. |

Well it’s either HDMI or Optical, I don’t believe there’s any other connection method! The arc comes with an hdmi cable and an optical adapter. The Arc itself only has an hdmi input.
Also issues are only via passthru, if you don’t have sky etc running through the tv before going to the arc then you wouldn’t experience the issue. Nor would the issue occur if external devices are outputting stereo not Dolby. Normal Digital tv and all the tv’s app work absolutely fine. |

I was about to bite the bullet on a new Arc, Sub, 2x1s and a new LG CX 55" TV.
If I don't use a set top box, i.e. only use the apps on the TV will this sync issue not exist? In theory nothing is coming through the TV from an external box into TV and then into Arc.

We've just gone the Samsung route. Sound bar is optic fibre (optical) connected and is really good. TV is great apart from an apparently well known and long standing fault with Samsung Smart TV's where the Wi-Fi keeps dropping out. Ended up having to connect it by ethernet cable to a Wi-Fi Extender disc. :-(

Right, the Arcana arrived today and is now plumbed in. It works perfectly, all my issues are gone.
All external devices are plugged into an HDMI switch, that goes to the HDMI in on the Arcana, EARC out on Arcana goes to the Sonos Arc via the Sonos lead and another hi speed hdmi from the hdmi out on Arcana into the hdmi arc port on the tv. Sound from the TV's apps to the Sonos works perfectly with correct audio and Sonos app displaying Atmos. Now UHD and Atmos from Sky is working perfectly too with Atmos displayed in the Sonos app, but most importantly, lip sync issues are totally gone with no need to have Sky set to output in Stereo over HDMI, now set to DD+ and all good. I am a happy camper, seems a great product |

So to jump on the end of this thread... I have a Sonos beam (freestanding on a tv unit below the tv), Sonos sub and 2 x Sonos One's. Would I notice the difference upgrading the Beam to the Arc? Am I able to have it freestanding also?

I didn't have a beam before I had a 5.1.2 setup with amp so can't really guide here but don't feel I'm missing out, if anything it sounds better. I would imagine the Arc is a step up from the beam though looking at specs and its newer tech, plus you get the height channels for atmos. |

I am on the verge of ordering one as I can get 15% off. My only concern is that none of us have iPhone to get the trueplay app. The reason I want that is that it will be in the corner of a room with one end close to one wall so the side firing speaker will bounce off.
Did anyone else bother using trueplay or just leave as is? |

I used it as part of the setup so couldn’t tell you what the difference was. From what I’ve read it’s just some minor tuning anyway and is just fine without it..... (no I’m not trying to spend your money lol!)
It essentially pans down to small room, probably not worth it to go arc, tight budget not worth it, have budget and not a box room the arc will make a difference... |

Assume you've still been working trouble-free with the Arcana? Cheers

Did you take the plunge and go for the Sub and surrounds as well? I've already got two Ones I could use as rears, but I already negotiated this purchase with the wife by promising a reduction is speakers so I doubt she'd be impressed if she sees another sub shaped box in the living room again!

I went the whole hog, the Arc, two One SL’s and the sub. I am very happy indeed with the sound having come from a separates system. I’ve never run the Arc without the sub so don’t know if it’s true what people say about a lack of bass.....

I got the Arc and 2 x SLs for the surrounds just before Christmas. I did not get the sub. Coming from a 3.1 system, I don't miss the sub. The Arc is very good.

Mine is due to arrive today, I've got 2 Sonos Ones in other rooms now so I can pair them up to see whether it's worth getting another set...the lack of sub is my main worry coming from a separates system with a 'proper' sub and not a bundled thing. The Sonos sub gets great reviews as well, sounds like one I'll have to work on the wife over
