Sonos One - Connecting to TV

Hey,

I'm on the fence about jumping into the Sonos community with two Sonos Ones. I'm almost convinced but there's one thing holding me back.

Can I use the Sonos ones to play out of my TV, as well as playing music? For example, playing Netflix or Amazon via a Google Chromecast OR screen mirroring to the TV via an Apple TV - can I wirelessly connect the Sonos Ones to play out audio in these scenarios?

Thanks!

    If you get a PLAYBASE or PLAYBAR, you could use the pair as surround speakers, but not left and right speakers from a normal 5.1 system. You could, however, set up the pair as a separate room, and group that room with the room that is the PLAYBAR, then you would get stereo, but not a 5.1 right and left. I know, it’s a little confusing. But setting them up as surrounds with the PLAYBAR is really an awesome thing, and will get you where you want to be.

    I don’t think the upcoming AirPlay 2 implementation would have any effect in this. There still wouldn’t be a way to connect those Sonos Ones to the TV, it would just allow you to connect your Apple devices to the Sonos ecosystem.

    Or take those to bedroom and get a Play:5 for the living room - then have it all.

    A single playbar in your living room will give you full simulated 5.0 surround sound
