Sonos CONNECT:AMP User Manual 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.

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.

Note: If this is a newly purchased CONNECT:AMP, be sure to add it to your Sonos system before attempting to set up surround speakers.

2. Connect the CONNECT:AMP to your router, or to the PLAYBAR, with an Ethernet cable.
