Here is a few pics of what my set up looks like and where my lights are positioned: So you can browse and pick the lights that will work best in your room and set up. Return it all within the 30 day return window. Hook it up for a few weeks in home demo, and if not happy with what your getting for the money. If you buy the whole kit from Amazon or Best Buy. I just started to rewatch 'The Expanse' on Amazon in 4K using the Sync Box. Then as time goes on you pick up additional lights down the road, to expand the area and increase the immersion effect.

The 5 lights plus the hub will run you about $350-$400 depending on if you catch a sale. Get the Starter Kit that comes with 4 lights and a Hub. Two lights on the outside left and right of the tv. Then you would need two lights under the tv one on each side. To get started you need a Lightstrip and as many extensions as you need to attach the lightstrip around the entire perimeter of that outside edge of the TV in the back. But I invested in Hue lights throughout my home, a few at a time. Hue Starter Kit includes Hub & 4 Color lights $200 Two table lamps, Two Iris Lights, Two Hue Play Light bars, Two Blooms, all one on each side of TV in different locations that surround the TV Area.

It does say along side for this setting that States Dolby Atmos is supported when this option is selected (Dolby Digital+) but I can’t select it as mentioned before.ĭolby Atmos Compatibility: is checked as enabled.Īs a reminder I don’t have a audio receiver. Under settings > sounds > expert settings.ĭigital Output Audio: set as PCM and I am unable to select either Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital+ as these are both gray out. I do have the app tv connected to HDMI port 4.Īs mentioned above HDMI cable runs from tv HDMI 4 / Arc to the Sonos Arc. Which makes sense because I am not sending a Arc signal through it (as I am not using a audio receiver) Under advanced settings every time I click on enable arc bypass it automatically shuts off or rather disabled automatically. I have set that to to change format off which essentially makes this automatic. I don’t see any mention about immersive sound settings etc. If on, I only can see stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1. The Apple 4K under volume setting has change format on/off.
