PLAYBAR TV audio in other rooms?

How can I access the tv input from the playbar so I can access. The tv sound on other Sonos components ?

    Huh?

    If you hook your speaker to the router (by Ethernet). Then the speaker will become the bridge for any future speakers and they will all communicate over Sonosnet.

    Your iPhone doesn't connect to Sonosnet. Your phone connects to your normal home wifi and via the router talks to the speaker.

    Okay, let me read a little deeper. I jumped before I understood the process. Thanks.

    You may have been confused reading that Android phones actually can connect direct to Sonosnet (but there is no need to in this situation).

    I just installed a playbar and it seems to be working ok but..... when I try to group another room nothing happens. I select the room and hit done. It takes me back to the previous screen but I'm not grouped. What can I try? There's no error message.

    Works now. There's a bit of a delay before it kicks in. Never had that with my other Sonos devices.

    Does anyone know of a way to make the grouped speakers change volume with the PLAYBASE?

    For example, I have a PLAYBASE and 2 x Ones as surrounds (‘Living Room’). I have now grouped another One (‘Kitchen’) to also play TV audio. When I use the television remote to change the volume it only increases or decreases the volume on the PLAYBASE and surrounds (‘Living Room’). I’d like the grouped ‘Kitchen’ speaker to change volume with ‘Living Room’ using the remote. Currently I can only achieve this by opening up the Sonos app.

    Any thoughts or hopeless wish?

    Hopeless wish. The remote will only control the Playbase and surrounds.
