I have seen a separate thread on a 3rd party soundbar being used to integrate with Sonos Play:1's under https://en.community.sonos.com/what-to-get-228989/sonos-play-1s-in-stereo-and-third-party-klipsch-soundbar-and-wireless-subwoofer-6798309



I am planning to buy a Sony HT-ST5000 (Dolby Atmos Soundbar + Sub) and I was wondering if this can be connected to my current Sonos Play:1's. My proposed set-up would be to use the Sonos Play:1's as my Rear Surround Speakers. Would this be possible via a Sonos Connect?



Pardon the newbie questions, but can you let me know if I have envisioned the set-up properly?



- TV is connected to Sony HT-ST5000 via HDMI IN

- Sony HT-ST5000 Optical to be connected to Sonos:Connect Optical

- Sonos:Connect will be able to see the Sonos Play:1's

- Configure Sonos Play:1's as Rear Surround



Is this correct? I've also include a picture of Sony's HT-ST5000's rear and Sonos:Connect rear.

Appreciate the help of the community!
Might work, but you wouldn't be very happy with it. The analog input on any Sonos device incurs a 75ms delay. This would cause your surround speakers to be out of sync of the rest of the system, and not make things sound good.



If you're going to use a soundbar, you're better off using surrounds made by the same company, designed to work with that soundbar.
