Surround Speakers

You can easily pair two PLAY:1 or PLAY:3 speakers with a PLAYBAR to function as left and right surround channels in your
Sonos surround sound experience. For more information about these products, please review the product guides at
www.sonos.com/support.
If you have a CONNECT:AMP and speakers, the release of Sonos software update 4.2 makes it possible to configure the
CONNECT:AMP for surround use. Both the CONNECT:AMP and the PLAYBAR must be wired in this configuration—this is a
requirement only when configuring a CONNECT:AMP for surround. It is not a requirement for normal use of these products.
