Sonos for Outdoor Movie

Hello,

I have a projection screen outside that I’d like to show movies on.  I have hooked up my amazon fire tv through the projector’s HDMI.  Unfortunately, the sound that the projector emits is pretty bad, and wouldn’t be satisfactory for a movie or sports.  

I’d like to get my sonos involved (I have a Move and a Play:3), but I’m not sure of the best way to do this - any suggestions?  I suppose I could buy a Play:5 and use the 3.5mm input, but I feel like there should be a way to accomplish this without purchasing another speaker.

Check the settings on your fireTV, as I believe it can send out audio via bluetooth, which you can then pair with your Move.

What model projector do you have?

    @melvimbe checked it last night - and you are correct!  Didn’t even think to check that, but paired it with the Move, and it worked great.  Nice call!

      For those wondering, Amazon Fire has a bluetooth connection area in settings and from there it’s pretty straightforward on pairing.
