SONOS USER GUIDE

Sonos home theater

Sonos products for your TV provide full-theater sound and play music too.
• Beam: compact soundbar with Amazon Alexa voice control, perfect for small to medium-sized rooms.
Place on furniture or wall mount.
• Playbase: widescreen sound and music streaming, created especially for TVs on stands or furniture. Low
profile design practically disappears under your TV.
• Playbar: powerful soundbar, perfect for use above or below wall-mounted TVs, or lay it flat on a table or
console.
• Amp: versatile amplifier for powering all your entertainment.
• Sub: add dramatically deeper bass to any Sonos speaker, for home theater and music.
Create a home theater system when you wirelessly connect a pair of rear speakers and a Sub.

Add surrounds

It's easy to turn two Sonos speakers (same model) or two of your favorite non-Sonos speakers (with Amp or
Connect:Amp) into separate right and left channels for your home theater.
Note: If you create a room group or a stereo pair instead, you won't have surround sound.
Tap > Settings > Room Settings.
1.
Choose the room with the home theater speaker and tap Add Surrounds.
2.
Note: When you set up a Connect:Amp as surround speakers, you need to use Ethernet cables to connect
both the home theater speaker and the Connect:Amp to your router. If you have a Playbar, you can
wire your Connect:Amp to the Playbar, and then connect the Playbar to your router.
