    You can‘t remove it at all… whether as a single source nor the whole „your inputs“ category. 
    As someone described before, the tv source disappear automatically after some time if not being active. 
    All that is made by design and imo most people are fine with that.

    Again this begs the question - Why would anyone buy a soundbar to only play music?  Personally, I see this as just as inexplicable as buying a TV to only play music and covering the picture with a sheet.  

    🙄 only you talk about a soundbar.. I still have this problem with a sonos AMP..?! If I have to write it any bigger let me know....

    I get that you don’t want to remove sources and lose the line in link, but if you turn auto play on the line in you could remove sources from the home screen as it’ll switch automatically. 

    true.

    but even if i want to remove sources its not possible, i've tried it right now..

    anyway I need not only line input but also musicserver as source, so removing this whole category is no solution in my case.

    Sorry, I missed that.  But then that begs the question, why would you set it up as “a crappy 5.1 surround system” if you are using a Sonos Amp for just music?

    hmm, but i've never connected any device to the hdmi input from this amp. so why does it show up then?

    no problem 😊

    I have no surround set up at all, i just use it as stereo amp like what it was build for .. 

    and with this standart setup it shows this unusable tv source button. but only line in is connected with a cd-player. hdmi was never connected.

    I would ignore it, personally.  I’m not bothered by features showing up even if I’m not using them.

    Maybe because the amp is a ht device. I never tried if the input is shown constantly when not being connected at all. Did you set up the Amp anytime in the past as a ht setup with tv connection just for a short test? If so, could be you have to reset it and hopefully the tv input will disappear.

    Oh 🤦 I assumed since there’s an edit HOME button they would allow you to hide this but of course they do not. Sorry Usethis.
