SONOS PLAY:1

Surround Speakers
Adding surround speakers
You can easily add two PLAY:1 or PLAY:3 speakers to function as left and right surround channels in your Sonos surround
sound experience.
• Make sure the Sonos products are the same—you cannot combine a PLAY:1 and a PLAY:3 to function as surround
speakers.
• Do not create a room group or stereo pair as these will not achieve the left and right surround channel functionality.

From the Settings menu, select Room Settings.
2.
Select the room the PLAYBAR is located in.
3.
Select Add Surround Speakers.
4.
Follow the prompts to add first a left and then a right surround speaker.
