Original sound vs Sonos upmix vs Full/Ambient mode

Hello guys. 
 

I have Arc + Sub G3 + 2x One SL.

I’m fully satisfied with the sound. But I'm worried about one thing. 

When I listen to music thru TV or just watching TV or Netflix Sonos upmix stereo sound when source isn't sorround sound to make "fake sorround sound".

When I listen to music thru Sonos App or AirPlay there is only avalivable Full or Ambient mode for rear speakers. 

That two facts makes that I need to turn off sorround speakers manually every time I want to listen music and turn it on again when I want to watch films. 

For me, sound should be always played in original form as reccorded, and rear speakers should be always on but used only when there is sorround sound. 

Guys from sonos, please. Can you add to our system such an option?

As long as they make it a user selectable option I’d not mind seeing that.

I enjoy the fake surround, nowhere as good as my old AVRs used to do and no real control but still kinda nice.

Right. It still should be, but as you wrote - it should be selectable.
