Best Setup for Playbar + 2 in-ceiling speakers (connected to connect:amp)?

I have a playbar at one of our large TVs and 2 in-ceiling speakers above connected to a connect:amp. What is the best setup to get to surround sound or would I setup and then group each time?

Hi tawd,

You can use the CONNECT:AMP to power your in-ceiling speakers for a surround setup, but you'll need to either attach the CONNECT:AMP to the PLAYBAR with an ethernet cable, or connect both the CONNECT:AMP and the PLAYBAR to your network with an ethernet cable. You can read more on this setup here.
