Quick guidance

For best results, connect via HDMI eARC and run the TV’s audio output through the Beam for full performance. Place it centered under the TV with a clear front path for sound, and if you plan to expand later, start with a Sub for deeper impact, then add surrounds for a true home theater feel.

1. Does it support Dolby Atmos on any TV?
   It supports Dolby Atmos, but your TV and connection need to support Atmos too. HDMI eARC is the easiest path when available.
   
2. Do I need HDMI eARC to use it?
   No. It works with ARC as well, but eARC is best for the simplest setup and the most consistent Atmos support.
   
3. Can I expand it later to a full surround system?
   Yes. You can add a Sonos Sub and rear speakers later to build a full home theater setup in stages.
