You should connect to the TV’s HDMI-ARC.

Yes. This also allows BEAM to render audio for TV Apps.

If setup as a stereo pair, first remove the pairing, then add the PLAY:1’s as surrounds.

And my sky box i can only set to normal 

when i look at my system on the app in the Audio  for the beam it says PCM 2.0 and for the Play 1’s it just says they are connected
