Can a Sonos Arc be turned on and have volume controlled using the ATV remote?
I’m looking at the Sonos Arc to replace our Bose Soundbar in the living room. We want Alexa integration and Airplay capability. We have a Sony tv that we got in January 2013 (I don’t think it has HDMI-arc) and an Apple TV HD (4th gen). All content is played through the ATV.
The ATV remote turns on the tv and controls the volume on the soundbar. However, we have to turn on the soundbar with a different remote. If we get a new soundbar, it’s a dealbreaker if it can’t be turned on, like the tv can, using the ATV remote.
I’m open to other soundbar suggestions and am willing to upgrade to an ATV 4K, if necessary. I don’t want to upgrade the tv at this time, since we’re moving across the country within the year. The movers destroyed a tv in the last move, so we’ll wait until we’re settled to get a new one.
