Hoping to get a Sonos but don't have experience and the big obstacle is how I will connect 4 different HDMIs to it (AppleTV and consoles). What do Sonos users typically do for multiple inputs (or is it outputs)?

Plug all inputs into your TV and run Audio Return Channel (ARC) out to your Sonos device.

You'd connect sonos to your TV's Audio Return Channel (ARC) enabled HDMI channel, that way the TV uses HDMI to send audio to your sonos. Sonos do not have multiple HDMI input/outputs like typical receivers do.

Everything goes to the TV and then the sound is passed via EARC to the soundbar. If your TV doesn't have enough hdmi ports you can use an hdmi switch or manually change plugs.

Arc SL for $699.99
Beam (2nd gen) for $359.99
One SL pair for $299.99
These deals are still great for the non SL version if you need that feature.
