Sonos Arc and Amp setup for TV and music

Hi,

I am building my new house and planning to get inceiling Sonos speakers (2) with Sonos arc.

later buy a Sonos arc and woofer and setup a 5.1 surround sound . 
 

the arc needs to be connected to tv hdmi and arc will connect to amp through wifi.this setup works for tv surround sound . 
 

however if I want to listen to audio only , Spotify or Apple Music ,will the above setup works with arc powered off and music coming off the 2 ceiling speakers ??

 

Thanks,

Ram

You would have to remove/unbond the Amp/ceiling speakers as surrounds from the Arc each time you want to play music out of the ceiling speakers only.

If you connect the Amp/ceiling speakers to your Arc as surrounds, when you play music, it will be played through the Arc and your ceiling speakers even with the TV turned off.
