RE: Soundbar app accessibility
Melanie, don't forget that if you want to try the Beam first that is entirely your choice and you have a full 6 weeks + 3 days to do so and if you find that there is an issue with the sound lagging which probably would take a lot less than 6 weeks to discover, just call Sonos and get them to take it back and pay the difference to get the Arc. I would, however, hazard a guess and say that the new version of the Beam probably uses very much the same sort of processor, also make sure you use HDMI 3 on the LG TV for the connection to the Sonos soundbar because it is the one which has the EARC capability. I also bought a $40 high quality HDMI cable to make sure I don't have a weak link in my system. After all, I spend that much on a TV and even more on a Sonos Arc surround sound package so I'm not about to use a $5 cable from Amazon. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Melanie Clouser Sent: October 26, 2021 9:51 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Soundbar app accessibility Sieghard ... we have the exact same LG TV ... and, I, too, love the remote. I've not read where the Sonos ARC has any issue with this TV but I was looking at the Sonos Beam. I've read that the Beam tends to lag in audio behind the video output on the LG OLED TV that you and I now have. Maybe the newer model fixed that lag. I hadn't wanted to buy the ARC due to it's price ... but maybe I'll need to break down and suck up that price.

RE: Soundbar app accessibility
The Beam is a smaller soundbar, the item you are describing is the Playbase which came out around the same time or maybe a bit after the original Playbar and it does not look like Sonos is updating this, i.e. that they are releasing a Sonos Base or whatever they would call it which then would have support for Dolby Atmos and digital assistants.

RE: Soundbar app accessibility
My question is about which iPhone Sonos app to use. I seem to recall that the current Sonos 2 app was poorly reviewed when the switch occurred from Sonos 1. There still appear poor reviews on the internet for Sonos 2 and Voiceover. Are Voiceover users currently happy with the Sonos 2 app? If not happy then on what basis? Thanks, Jeff -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2021 8:26 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Soundbar app accessibility Sorry, and yes, soundbars play sound from the TV, that is their original purpose, you put them under your TV and depending on your TV it may automatically turn off its internal speakers once you connect a soundbar or you may have to go into the TV's settings and do this manually. The Arc has an HDMI connection to the TV and I assume the Beam does as well, my original Sonos Playbar which does not support Dolby Atmos or any digital assistants but still has the 11 drivers like the Arc had an optical input so you would go from your TV's optical out to the soundbar. I actually have to still advertise my Sonos Playbar along with the set of Sonos Play 1 speakers and the first generation wireless Sub which I had for quite a few years before upgrading to the Arc with a set of Sonos SL and the latest generation wireless Sub.

I only briefly played around with the screenreader which is part of the LG Web OS platform and I didn't really learn how to use it, but it seemed OK. One thing the sales person at our local electronics store said was that he felt LG's Web OS platform was more user friendly than some of the Android ones and this TV has pretty much everything from Netflix, Disney and Amazon Prime to Apple TV built in and we haven't used our Apple TV since we had the TV.

RE: Soundbar app accessibility
As I just posted, we bought an LG TV pretty much exactly a year ago and have no issues with the TV and the Arc, but my wife did have to go into the TV settings because by default after we hooked up the soundbar it was set for audio to come from the external connection (the soundbar) and the internal TV speakers, but once that was done all has been good. I spend quite a bit of time reading about the slightly higher-end OLED TV's last year and more less had narrowed it down to this LG and a Sony model, but the LG I felt had slightly better specs and reviews and we have been very happy with it although I guess I should say my wife has because I just benefit from the audio and it comes from the Arc. I only briefly played around with the screenreader which is part of the LG Web OS platform and I didn't really learn how to use it, but it seemed OK. One thing the sales person at our local electronics store said was that he felt LG's Web OS platform was more user friendly than some of the Android ones and this TV has pretty much everything from Netflix, Disney and Amazon Prime to Apple TV built in and we haven't used our Apple TV since we had the TV. But as I mentioned, I only watch TV with my wife so she always does the driving so to speak and all I find useful is to know how to do Play/Pause and turn the volume up and down which on the LG remote are nicely shaped buttons in the shape of a Plus and Minus symbol, but of course when I sit on our couch I just have to reach out with my right arm to where the Sonos SL is mounted on the wall and I can use it to turn the volume up or down as well. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: October 26, 2021 8:37 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Soundbar app accessibility The Sonos app is completely accessible.

RE: Soundbar app accessibility
Hello Melanie, We bought a higher-end LG smart TV last year, a 55-inch OLED model, and we have the Arc and it works fine. This version had LG's A9 processor and it has the eARC HDMI port with the audio return channel and supports HDMI 2.1 which is important if you use a soundbar and want to make sure things like audio descriptions etc. work properly, can't totally remember the exact technical explanation, but Jonathan Mosen has something about that on his website. The exact model of our TV is: LG OLED55CXPUA 55" OLED TV, 4K, 120Hz, a9 Gen3 Al, ThinQ Al, WiFi, BT, HDR, G-SYNC, FreeSync -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Melanie Clouser Sent: October 26, 2021 8:31 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Soundbar app accessibility Soundbars range in price from the cheapest in quality and sound at about $99 to the best in quality and sound upwards of hundreds of dollars to a thousand or more.

RE: Soundbar app accessibility
Sorry, and yes, soundbars play sound from the TV, that is their original purpose, you put them under your TV and depending on your TV it may automatically turn off its internal speakers once you connect a soundbar or you may have to go into the TV's settings and do this manually. The Arc has an HDMI connection to the TV and I assume the Beam does as well, my original Sonos Playbar which does not support Dolby Atmos or any digital assistants but still has the 11 drivers like the Arc had an optical input so you would go from your TV's optical out to the soundbar. I actually have to still advertise my Sonos Playbar along with the set of Sonos Play 1 speakers and the first generation wireless Sub which I had for quite a few years before upgrading to the Arc with a set of Sonos SL and the latest generation wireless Sub. I'm quite bad sometimes when it comes to selling old stuff, I have had my iPhone 11 for over a year and still have my iPhone 8 sitting around in its original box, all wiped and reset and occasionally I charge it, really have to get on this. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of mich verrier Sent: October 26, 2021 6:25 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Soundbar app accessibility Hi I also would like to know this as well.

RE: Soundbar app accessibility
The cost you can look up at www.Sonos.com, here in Canada you automatically get Canadian pricing and Sonos offers free shipping and a very generous 45-day guaranty which is very much all inclusive, e.g. if you order a Sonos product and after 6 weeks you are not completely satisfied you can just call them up and they'll arrange for you to send it back, just make sure you keep the original packaging and since the packaging is quite elaborate, I would simply start a voice recording as you unbox the item the first time and make a narrative of how it's boxed up and what you are doing so you can box it up nicely again if you decide to send it back. I would be surprised, however, if you were sending it back unless you have extreme buyer's remorse about spending the money or simply want to try it out for a few weeks but are not really serious to begin with to keep it. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of mich verrier Sent: October 26, 2021 6:25 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Soundbar app accessibility Hi I also would like to know this as well.

RE: Soundbar app accessibility
If you have the space and can afford it definitely buy the Arc, it's an amazing soundbar. If space is at a premium or the Arc is simply too expensive go for the Beam, it was just updated so in terms of features it should be pretty equal and I am pretty sure it also supports Dolby Atmos, just smaller and sort of like the difference between a set of Sonos One and Sonos Five speakers, the Sonos Five will sound a lot better, but they are also much larger and quite a bit more expensive. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: October 26, 2021 8:00 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Soundbar app accessibility The Arc has 11 sound drivers, while the Beam has either 3 or 5.

RE: Soundbar app accessibility
The sonos app Is great accessibility, And you shouldn't have to register a device The account for sonos can or at least you use to be able to do it without needing to have the device But make sure you have the latest sonos app, as they did recently have a sonos 1 and sonos 2 apps, The sonos 2 is the one you want. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Melanie Clouser Sent: Tuesday, 26 October 2021 6:52 am To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Soundbar app accessibility Hello.

Soundbar app accessibility
Hello. I'm in the market for a soundbar. Can anyone tell me if the Bose app is accessible? I downloaded the app to test it out but it wants me to register with my device ... and I haven't yet bought a soundbar. I wanted to test out different apps before settling on a device.
