And I just re-read your message and realized you asked specifically about using an Apple TV connected directly to Sonos. Sorry for missing it the first time, you spelled “appletv” as one single word and hearing it with Jaws it didn’t sound much like “Apple TV”. Anyways, to my knowledge the Apple TV’s HDMI output has to be connected to a TV; I tried connecting it once to my Sonos Arc and I got nothing. Maybe there are settings you can change to make this work, I just never bothered a lot because my wife is sighted so we have a fairly new LG OLED smart TV and I never watch/listen to a movie by myself; we do enjoy some movies together, but if I am by myself I’ll prefer a good audio book any day. You may want to call Sonos support and ask if there is a work-around, potentially you could get it to work using one of these “Hdfury Arcana” adapters, they aren’t cheap, but here is the description from their website followed by the link:
WORLD’S FIRST eARC adapter that allows FULL AUDIO up to Dolby Atmos over TrueHD from ANY external HDMI source to ANY eARC sound system Perfect solution for SONOS Arc and ANY eARC AVR, soundbar or headphones. In other words, if you have a Sonos Arc which I can’t quite figure out from your message, this adapter would probably allow you to connect your Apple TV which would be considered the “external HDMI source” directly to your Sonos Arc, but once again, I don’t have one of these gadgets so I can’t guaranty it will work.

Hi this might sound like a strange question. I have 2 era300s now from sonos and want to make this into a surround system that I then want to use with an appletv to stream netflix/disney plus. Since I live alone I dont need a tv. Is it possible to install the appletv if I connect it via hdmi to the sonos arc/then use the remote for navigation? Or could i use my iphone for installing it?
