Connecting Era 300 as surround sound speakers for TV

Hi guys,

Got a Playbar connected to TV and the Sub connected but trying to work out how to connect my 2 Era 300’s as rear surround sound speakers but can’t work out how to do it.

I’ve set them up and thought I’d added them to the ‘living room’ where the Playbar and Sub are connected in the app but the only option I’m given in that room is to add the Amp as surrounds which seems weird. In the App I’ve now got the following but can’t work out how to have the Playbar, Sub and 2 Era 300’s working together:

Rooms (since adding)

Living Room (+Sub) which has the Playbar
Living Room (L&R) which has the Era 300’s
Living Room (Fives) (L&R)

Not massively worried about adding the Fives as use those for music more than anything but surely there must be a way of adding the Era 300’s into my TV sound setup?

I hope someone can help as doing my head in! 😉

Cheers,

Jon

Are the Era’s set up as a stereo pair? Split them first and then ad them to the Arc as surround.

That worked, many thanks! 😀

Actually I’ll rephrase that! Managed to add them as surrounds but no sound coming out of them. If I hit volume up on the Era 300’s it just increases the volume on the Arc which is weird

They’re all part of the same room now, the volume controls are controlling the room.

Make sure your TV is passing a 5.1 signal to the Arc. YouTube videos are not in 5.1, test a movie, or other source that your confident is at least 5.1.
