Sonos Amp with Beam and a couple of Ones for TV and Music setup

Hi

I have the Sonos Amp, a Beam and a couple of Sonos Ones. I want to connect them in a way to get the best sound output from my TV, Music( Streamed on Wifi through the Spotify app) and my turntable.

 

What will be best way to connect them so achieve this.

 

As if now, the Amp is connected to the TV through the HDMI ARC, the Ones are connected as surrounds with the Beam and while watching TV or listening to music, I am grouping both the Amp and the Beam group to get sound. Not sure if this is the ideal way to about it.

 

Thanks

Hi.  Just to be clear, do you have a pair of passive speakers connected to your Amp?  If not, it’s hard to see what function it performs in your setup.  Just to provide a line-in for the turntable?

    Hi Guys!

    I have another issue, so my current setup is, the Beam is connected to the Tv through HDMI-ARC with the pair of Sonos One's as surrounds and the Sonos amp is connected to the turntable. When the S2 is playing from the TV, it's showing Stereo PCM 2.0, whereas earlier before I added the amp to setup, it didn't show anything. Confused, if something's not working.

      With the last software update, Sonos added the format indicator, which has always been available in ‘About my System’, to the controller display when showing the TV. I suspect nothing has changed, and you may need to check the settings on your TV and the devices that feed it.
