Upgrading from Connects (S1) to Amps (S2)

I have 4 Connects powering third party (in ceiling) speakers in four zones via a third party multi-zone amplifier.  I also have a Playbar, Sub and Play:3.  All are running on the S1 app.

My third party multi-zone amplifier died and I am upgrading from the Connects to Amps, and then to run the Amps, Playbar, Sub and Play:3 on the S2 app.

I have the Amps and I’m looking for guidance/instructions on the process for executing the upgrades, i.e. removing the Connects, installing the Amps, and getting them all running (along with the Playbar, Sub and Play:3) on the S2 app.

Thanks...

Firstly, make sure your Connects cannot run S2 (Gen 2 can). If they can then just upgrade everything and no need for Amps.

Assuming not, unplug the Connects, then update the rest of your system to S2. With that done, add the Amps to your system.

Don’t over-think it.
