Apple Tv Sonos Universal Remote

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lost a remote to my tv so tried the universal remote and it worked great on my tv. I don't have anything Elsa at this time to connect to the remote but if I did I would. It was easy to use and follow directions too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best universal remote I have used so far. I like the simpleset features. I don’t have to flip through the booklet searching for my devices’ code. Being able to hook up to 8 devices is great. I was able to connect to my roku steaming box, Apple TV box and TV. There were some features it can’t replicate on the original remote, but for the basic functions, this would do.

I got 4 of these to replace 3 Sonos speakers and one sound bar on my TV.  (1 in the kitchen, 1 in the dining room and 2 combined as a stereo pair under the television). Comparing the sound to the Sonos play:1 speakers, they are quite a bit better.  I can hear much more bass and the sound is more omnidirectional.  The integration to my Apple ecosystem is much nicer that the Sonos app as well.  I have apple music; the combo with the homepods is just super.  I basically use Siri to play or find whatever I want to listen to.  It took me some fiddling around over a couple days to completely figure out how to use airplay to play music from each particular homepod.  Now that I learned how to do it, it works very well.  Playing the TV sound through the paired speakers works out well too.  Sometimes the AppleTV sound output changes from homepod to HDMI all on its own for some reason.  When that happens I have to switch it back manually.  Probably some fine tuning by Apple needs to be done in this area.  I will probably buy more to make stereo pairs in every room as they sound even better this way.  By the way I also replaced an Amazon Echo with these in the process.  The microphones on these pick up our voice better than the echo.

This item works flawlessly with an Apple TV 4k to output audio to a Sonos Beam using the Sonos optical adapter. I had to return a cheaper unit to Amazon because it caused flickering and video would drop out. This one did the trick and seems to have no issues.

Never use my Apple TV, I now only use my roku, remote is great, too much to watch....also am streaming live tv via Xfinity!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our first Sony TV and we were upgrading from 55 inch Sharp TV that we got 14 years back to Sony 65 inch TV XR-65X90L. The TV came very well packaged with clear instructions on how to setup the TV. We have our TV on the included stand and height increased so that we can put our soundbar in underneath the opening. Although we got the 65 inch TV, it does not seem that big in our room and fits perfectly. Very easy to setup and the included remote does all the functions perfectly. The remote is not too fancy but has all the required functions to control the TV. Remote does not have back light but it does not bother us much. Picture quality is fantastic. However, while watching some old content, it becomes little blurry. The TV sound is much better quality than most TV's. However we use a Sonos setup and have it hooked up via digital output. A point to note - if you are having issues controlling your sound system volume with TV remote, turn off Bluetooth on TV and try again. For our Sonos setup, I have to keep Bluetooth off for the remote to be able to control Sonos volume. If you do this, you cannot use Voice commands since voice commands require Bluetooth to be on. Google TV interface is very intuitive and guides you through complete setup. It brings all your content in one place. Very happy with this TV so far.

Unfortunatly there is no chance to use only one (BlueTooth) Samsung Remote Control for TV and Sonos-System. Any Ideas / Recomendations???

I always thought my TV had reasonable quality sound and that TV soundbars were only for people who liked action movies. But after living with the Sonos Arc for a few weeks, I know that there is no way back to using any TV's inbuilt sound. Rich, luxuriant sound, with far greater depth than anything I have heard come out of my TV, and if I switch it back to the TV sound to make a comparison, it makes my TV sound like a mobile phone speaker. Really, the difference is shocking. The unit is beautiful looking and drips quality. It integrates perfectly with my existing Sonos products and the television, and is controlled either via the TV remote, my Apple TV remote, or the Sonos Ap. I use it a lot to listen to music or radio in my living room, which it performs admirably. I'm well used to the sound quality of Sonos product, having a half-dozen Play 1s and a Play 3, but this exceeds even that high standard with greater depth bass response and outstanding separation. It doesn't matter if it is baroque, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell or Jimi Hendrix, it takes it all in its stride. A seriously wonderful piece of kit.

Did I mention that I love the new version of Apple TV? If it were just for the improved remote control, it would be worth upgrading alone. But, this Apple product delivers with impressive 4K. Worth every penny!!

Upgraded from a older Apple TV and very happy so far. The remote control is incredibly well built and feels like an iPhone. Worth the upgrade alone. 4K imagery looks stunning on our LG G3 55.
