I have just got a Playbar, I already have a Sonos 5. I can get them both to play the same music at the same time but I cant get the Sonos 5 to play the same TV sound as the Playbar. Is this possible? Any help would be gratefully received.

The other rooms are slightly delayed about 40ms or so but yes you can

Thanks again. I'm not sure how kosher it is to keep extending the questions. I'm curious; if I am to set up another, separate 'surround sound area' will this continue to work with only the same limitation as above (slightly delayed about 40ms or so)?
With the second 'surround sound area' being powered by a Connect connected to an amp and two conventional speakers?

Any sound from an input sent across the Sonos network has about 70ms delay. The direct digital connection on the playbar keeps it and it's paired speakers only to about 20ms or so. So yes if you have a connect hooked to a receiver elsewhere it will.be about 50ms delayed. It will also be stereo sound as the playbar only send stereo signal to other Sonos units.

Thanks Chris,
Once I've had a chance to set everything up I'll understand this better and / or have more questions. Either way I'll give some feedback. Good to get some guidance.
