TV and ceiling speakers

I have a Sonos Amp and an Audioflow switch with 6 speakers in the ceiling and 2 outside. I have them wired so that two of the ceiling speakers on their own switch are directly behind the sofa, I was hoping to use them with the TV. Unfortunately the wiring for all the speakers is nowhere near the TV so I cannot connect the HDMI. Is there any way to still connect those speakers to the TV?

If I understand you correctly the Sonos Amp powering the speakers is no where near the TV so connecting the TV to the Amp via HDMI is not possible. That being the case you would need to first add a Sonos soundbar to the TV. Afterwards you could group the Sonos soundbar and Amp together to send TV audio to the speakers connected to the Amp.

Note 1: TV audio sent to the Amp would be delayed 75Ms. Music streamed to either the soundbar or Amp during grouping would not suffer the 75ms delay.

Note 2: Even if the Amp were in range of the TV to run HDMI cable...using six (6) speakers for TV audio is not the intended use criteria. The Amp when connected to a TV is designed to properly send two channel audio to left/right speakers.
