It is expected that the Arc will be available again in the first quarter of next year, as stated. At least the black version. The white one is in stock: Sonos Arc (WLAN, Airplay 2)
Hop Luca,
You can connect the Sonos Arc to your TV via the optical adapter (included), as long as it has an optical output. Directly on the Apple TV 4K does not work because the Sonos Arc is not a receiver. You only have one HDMI port on the Arc and the Apple TV.

No, the Sonos Arc cannot be connected wirelessly to the Chromecast. The Sonos Arc does not support Chromecast functionality, only Airplay 2 and other streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music and Google Play Music via the Sonos app or directly from these services.
Automatically generated from the .Yes, the soundbar can be controlled via eARC CEC.

All the options you asked about work, I use the Arc in the evening for TV and during the day either as a single speaker or in combination with other Sonos products.

Possibly bad or wrong HDMI cable?
If the projector has neither ARC nor eARC and does not offer an optical interface for sound (also known as Toslink), it will be difficult. Bluetooth is not supported by the Sonos Arc or the Sonos One (SL). Only the Sonos Era devices can do this.
Sonos speakers are typically used in a WLAN network (e.g. also for control). The Sonos One (SL) is connected to the Sonos Arc during setup via a WLAN that the Sonos speakers themselves establish with each other.
In my opinion, which may be wrong, it is not possible to connect the Sonos Arc to the projector. However, it may be possible to connect the player to the Sonos Arc. If the player (e.g. BluRay player) has an optical output (Toslink), this can be connected using an adapter. The adapter is already included with the Sonos Arc.

Hello , I had similar options as you. I decided on the Arc and will upgrade with a sub in the autumn. But the Arc alone is pure enjoyment.

Hello !
I switched from Samsung (a slightly older model, but already ATMOS) to Sonos in the configuration you indicate. For me, it's night and day for movies and series. Not to mention the quality of the music on Sonos. There is no photo.

I would have assumed that the Arc can be connected to a Blu-ray player with SPDIF output using the included SPDIF to HDMI adapter. The player mentioned has the corresponding optical output. This means that only an optical cable (Toslink) may be required. Just try it out, without guarantee 😉

Hello,
In my setup, an SL and a One work without problems with the Sonos Arc.
Good question. I don't expect a successor to come soon. I am still very satisfied with the system.
Helpful answer
Yes, but it doesn't sound good when the sound is blocked by the TV. Is there any way to mount it above the TV?
1. is there a Mac ID lock configured in the router, so that you have to add it manually in the router?
2. Call sonos support, they are very helpful and competent.

Due to different suppliers and delivery conditions, there may be price differences compared to other suppliers. We always try to set a price in line with the market, but this is not possible for all products.

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. In my case, the sonos arc lies on the base of the Samsung TV and does not come into the picture. Is the base of your TV low enough for the sonos to come into the picture?

Unfortunately, we have recently had problems with this option, which is why the price development display is currently not available. We apologise for the confusion and inconvenience.

I have a 2016 LG tv with ARC (no eARC). Dolby Atmos etc. work just fine. Might be that you won’t get 7.1 though, can’t remember. I have a Soros 5.0 setup (no sub… yet) and it”s great for Dolby 5.1, 2.0 and Atmos. Will be even better when I get the sub.
In my opinion, the difference (bass range) is not particularly large. This is for the simple reason that the speaker cones in the systems are about the same size. The Sonos Sub makes a clearer difference, but it also costs more.
Do you just mean connecting AppleTv to Soundbar via TV?
The Arc supports Atmos even without additional speakers. It is important that your TV, where the AppleTv is connected, supports eARC and not only ARC. Otherwise, Atmos cannot be transmitted. Basically, the difference between Atmos and classic 5.1 is not extremely audible. I would say that with Atmos, the nuances are simply more pronounced and you have more of a feeling that the sound is coming from various directions. However, I can't really make out a sound "from above" with the Sonos Arc.
It definitely sounds better if you test the system with additional rear speakers and subwoofer.

Probably because more pieces of the Weis are sold, the price of the Weis goes up.
(The demand regulates the price)
If the TV has HDMI ARC, yes.
Otherwise via optical cable, but then I don't think surround works.
Hi Dekivezic
I have a QE75Q85R, but maybe this will help.
I can steal the Arc onto the base of the TV and it still doesn't cover the picture (would just be a wobbly thing with me).
The Arc is 87 mm high, the base of the TV is 27 mm high and the picture starts at 113 mm. The screen starts at 97 mm, but this would not interfere with the TV experience. I hope this helps you a little in your decision.
