LG G1 to connect:amp

Hi, I am purchasing a new LG G1 and have a setup that connects in ceiling speakers to a G1 connect:amp. From my research is it correct that there is now way of passing the HDMI signal from the TV to the connect:amp. Is there any solution using the G1 device or is the only way to connect through a new AMP and HDMI connection?

Thats definitely an option, might not work out due to cabinets and space so will probably have to settle for 2x One SL for front and then the ceiling speakers L/R as rear. Currently only 1cm space b/w TV and cabinet. Thanks so much for advice

That’s okay, note the One SL’s cannot be used as fronts, only as rears - I guess that I may have confused you a little by mentioning those (sorry).

The primary options perhaps are:

  • Use the new Sonos Amp and two 3rd-party ‘passive’ speakers for the front channels and the Connect:Amp/ceiling speakers as the rear channels…. I just don’t personally like the idea of the rear TV channels being in the center of the room in this type of setup.

Or…

  • You could do away with the existing Connect:Amp and replace it with the newer Sonos Amp and use that with your ceiling speakers only as the TV front channels - it just means the TV sound will then be coming from the ceiling direction, which I think may not sound right … hence my suggestion of not using the ceiling speakers for TV audio, but perhaps utilise them for music-audio only. (but that’s only a personal opinion - it’s entirely your decision).

Definitely don’t want to be having option B long term because totally agree it sounds weird having only vertical sound! Tried and tested and although better than TV sound it is very weird.

I have settled on a new Amp, will get 2 non native front speakers and keep the current speakers through the connect:amp as Rears. Will be the best compromise least hassle I believe. Thanks so much!
