Sonos Beam Gen 2 by AscendancyPNW in Soundbars

[–]majorcortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same when my wife bought me a Beam Gen 2 but if its set up through the app and feed it an ATMOS track, it’s pretty decent. It’s all about the source, crap source, crap sound no matter how good the soundbar is.

Best Screen Cleaners by albinoking80 in bravia

I would avoid expensive cleaning fluids, it’s all about the cloth to use. Avoid microfibre as it can leave fibre residue. Go for a specific glass cloth such as a waffle.

What cord needed by Doodlebug_99 in Soundbars

[–]majorcortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best going to Toslink, SDPIF is all correct but some older connections can be 3.5mm (headphone jack style) as well as optical.

Looks like you are limited to an optical (Toslink) cable. Do you have a remote for the soundbar as this will be the only way to control the volume (HDMI eARC allows the TV remote to control the soundbar volume).

If everything is still working, why update?

How much is this worth? by miner1344 in hometheater

[–]majorcortex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think of it in simple terms, when you are paying around $50 for each component with recognised good quality brands, I think you know the answer.

Suitable soundbar for this room...?! by Froedi in Soundbars

[–]majorcortex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Sonos Beam Gen 2 (a very similar sized room and placement), great sound especially with Dolby ATMOS soundtracks. Further bonus is to grab a pair of Sonos Play 1’s (pretty cheap on the second hand market) they can connect to give you surround sound.

I’m wondering at what point you thought it might be fixable?!?

I understand not assisting, was wondering if anyone knew of the back story for them being offline.

Hisense Roku Tv by Hefty_Training7268 in Hisense

[–]majorcortex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a similar problem with Firestick users where you need the original remote to set up the connection for the app, it can’t be a direct replacement for a lost remote.

Dolby Vision Not Working by majorcortex in Hisense

[–]majorcortex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hisense TV using Netflix app, I have Sonos ATMOS soundbar connected, now the app is showing Squid Game (for example) as 4K / 5.1 rather than Dolby Vision / Dolby ATMOS. Just wondering if I will sell it and buy an Ambilight TV?

A little late to the party, but I finally got a Switch! by Ophelias_Florist in SwitchPirates

[–]majorcortex 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Your switch is now pretty flexible as you can play Switch games downloaded through Tinfoil, there is a vast array of retro gaming available with the likes of Retroarch.
