Playbar Switching Between TV and Music

I just purchased a Sonos Playbar. Everything works perfectly. I can go to the app and play music while I’m watching TV but how do I switch back to the TV audio without turning the TV off and on?

Going in to the app and changing the selection the same way you changed to music, just select line in. Or, turn off the TV and turn it back on, and the "autoplay" function will kick in.

[quote=Airgetlam]No, during music playback (which is a different input on the device), there's some extra settings you should be looking at.
Open up the controller app, go to more, then settings, and then room settings. Click on the room name that has your PLAYBAR in it. Then click on Advanced Audio, and Surround Settings.

Thank you!
Under Advanced Audio I only have one option, "TV Dialog Settings" and under that is "Audio Delay (lip sync)". No Surround settings there.

Ah, then you've already removed them from being surround speakers? Or perhaps never added them as such?
