Adding surround speakers

You can easily pair two PLAY:1 or PLAY:3 products with a PLAYBAR to function as left and right surround channels in your
Sonos surround sound experience. You can either configure surround speakers during the setup process or follow the steps
below to add them later.
• Make sure the Sonos players are the same—you cannot combine a PLAY:1 and a PLAY:3 to function as surround
speakers.
• Pairing surround speakers with your PLAYBAR requires a wired connection so make sure you have a BRIDGE, BOOST or
Sonos player connected to your router with an Ethernet cable before proceeding.
• Be sure to follow the instructions below to set up your surround speakers. Do not create a room group or stereo pair as
these will not achieve the left and right surround channel functionality.
