The confusing thing is that the “Set Top Box” menu option is greyed out. As a result I was getting the box telling me it could not control volume while in “Surround” setting. My setup is BT TV Pro > Sony AF9 > Sonos Arc (via HDMI ARC).Īfter trying many things, I eventually realised that I had the Pro box setting Bluetooth Remote > Control Volume and Source set to “Set Top Box”. I ended up having to use the TV remote to control volume and the Pro remote for everything else which was really annoying. I was very confused by the Pro box remote and how to get it to control volume of output to my Sonos Arc soundbar using the Pro remote while the Pro box is in “Surround” mode. I want to have full surround sound, with the ability to change volume with the BT remote so I don’t have to use a 2nd remote.Ĭan anyone tell me how I can use the BT TV Pro remote to control the volume on my Sonos Arc or Sony TV, seeing as the BT remote seems to be bluetooth only and the Arc and TV use Infrared. Juggling another remote just to change volume is a PITA. The reason I want to know is that in “Surround” mode you can’t change the volume except by using the TV remote (which is set to also control the Sonos Arc). I do get some sound from my rears but I think it’s just balanced output.Ĭan anyone confirm if the “Stereo” setting only outputs stereo, or if it actually outputs 5.1 surround sound? If I set the BT TV Pro box to Settings > Picture & Sound > HDMI Sound to “Stereo”, I get the ability to change volume via the BT remote, but no surround sound. If I set the BT TV Pro box to Settings > Picture & Sound > HDMI Sound to “Surround” I lose the ability to change volume via the BT remote, but get what sounds like full surround sound. The BT box is HDMI’d to the TV and the TV is HDMI’d to the Sonos Arc using the ARC HDMI channel. I have a BT TV Pro box, a Sony AF9 TV and a Sonos Arc sound bar with 2 rear Sonos One SL surround speakers.
