Best set up to use with a TV?

Question

I have recently got a new TV and it is wall mounted, i already have Sonos One’s around the home and I really like them. But I wanted to know what the best kind of setup is to use with a tv? Can you use a play bar wirelessly or have multiple One’s around the room all connected wirelessly to the tv?

Hi manrajsandhuUnfortunately Sonos does not wireless connect to a TV.  The best option for a wall mounted set is the Sonos Playbar which connects via an Optical cable. The Playbar can be wall mounted below the TV or placed a cabinet directly below the set. It can also be used to play music as a stand-alone speaker or grouped with your Sonos One's to play music or deliver TV broadcast audio to other parts of your home. The ultimate setup is to bond a Sonos Sub and Play 1's x 2 or Sonos One's x 2 or Play 3's x 2 as surround speakers for DD5.1 experience.Lesser Options are...The Sonos Play 5 which can be connected to a TV via its RCA line out to the 3.5mm input of the Play 5. I personally would not recommend the Play 5 as an option because other than playing louder than TV 's built in speakers IMO there is no benefit compared to the Playbar. In fact I'd recommend a 3rd party soundbar for a TV over the Play 5.The final option is a Sonos Connect Amp to which you attach a pair of 3rd party speakers and a powered (non Sonos) sub connected to your TV via its RCA output to RCA inputs on the Connect Amp. Still not IMO a better solution than the Sonos Playbar.I hope this has answered your questions.  Cheers!
