Can Amp be used as Home Theater 5.1 brain?

Currently I have the Playbar, 2 play 1’s and a sub.

In this configuration I’m able to group my Sonos speakers in 5.1 with my TV connected. But it doesn’t support AirPlay 2.

I’m wondering if I can plug my TV’s HMDI ARC into the Amp (which supports AirPlay 2), and have the Amp be the brain of my 5.1 group instead of my PlayBar?

Confirmation is in above post from Ryan (1st question)

There is no reason you won't be able to bond a Sonos Sub with the Sonos Amp. Bond just like you would bond surrounds.

@Chris

Thanks for the clarification_cool! I'll have to suggest to Ryan that he include that little tid-bit in the release notes :8

Cheers!
