Why is it that I cannot use my ERA 300 speakers as a stereo pair for streaming music and then use them as a surround sound set to watch movies? Yes, I know I can unpair them and reassign them as surround speakers but it doesn’t make sense to me since this is all app controlled not to mention a pain to have to do all that extra work. Can someone shed some light or maybe I’m missing something.
Thanks

In surround configuration, the radios are reconfigured to a low latency, one-way dedicated 5 GHz connection from the soundbar to the surrounds. This requires a series of handshakes to get right, which is why adding surrounds takes a bit of time. The reverse happens when the surrounds are removed. So therefore, a quick toggle/auto-switching is not possible. They could place a hot button that does the add surrounds/remove surrounds at the touch of the button, but that is not going to speed up the actual process, and doesn’t save much from the system menu commands we have today.
