I've also been beta testing the new AMP and have been using it on the living room TV with ARC and it's been 100% reliable.  I've even done some testing with ARC over HDBaseT and that also worked.

So this is the next step. Is there anything in an extender that would prevent CEC from working? What brands have you used reliably?

I installed a BEAM with a Samsung TV last week. It was painless. I plugged them together and the TV instantly figured out that it should mute it's own speakers and pass audio through ARC.

I have a client that bought his own tv's. Samsung q7,q8,q9. all come with a bluetooth remote.. I installed 3 Sonons soundbars.. Not the beam. Now I can not control volume with the supplied Samsung remote.. My clients wife is blind. I do not want a control system. They are not using any cable box. Is there a way to get these remotes to work in Ir??

I don't want to replace the soundbar with beam...

thanks in advance..

The Sonos playbar learns IR, teach it any codes you want for volume and mute.

You could pick up some inexpensive IR Samsung TV remotes. You may have some in your garage, if you are like me. They will work the new sets, and put out IR volume.

I know that too and the Samsung accepts IR commands or at least the models I have dealt with do. A $20 universal from Walmart will work for them. Nothing is going to make the Samsung remote work with an iR device.

New question I had not thought of before yesterday, but I was pre-wiring a house.

For an outdoor television, I will just be putting one of the small Comcast boxes on the back of the TV. Simple set up, RG6 to the television. But now, I have the flexibility of being able to get sound back to the AMP and control it via HDMI – CEC. Great, now I need a 65 foot HDMI return.

The only one I had was an active cable. Does the cable have to be top quality when is just being used for ARC?

I think that you should be OK. I don't know why CEC needs to be part of the 18Gb throughput.

With the new Sonos AMP, I am rethinking some of my pre-wires. The next thought that comes to mind is that a TV with the AMP and other electronics set up remotely, could have a new twist. If we need HDMI-CEC, we may need two HDBaseT extenders. That sounds expensive.

A slight cost saving would be to use a low bandwidth extender on the ARC side. (making sure that it actually passes ARC)
