multiple uses for Playbar?

Can my S1 Playbar be hooked up to a TV as well as be part of a separate wireless group? Right now it is part of a wireless Sonos group that plays line-in input with a stereo pair of two generation 1 Play Fives. I want to keep that functionality but possibly also hook it up to a Sony 4K TV. If this is even possible… What will be involved with switching between the two setups? Thanks in advance.

Yes.

You can select tv Autoplay, and it will ungroup and play the tv audio.

Or you can just select tv as the input when you want.
You can also group your other speakers so you can hear the tv audio in other rooms, but there will be a slight audio delay (70msec or so) playing to those speakers. It’s only an issue if you can hear both speakers; I often have tv audio playing in the kitchen and the delay is irrelevant.
