No TV Voice from Rear Play:1 Connect to Playbar

I connected Paybar to TV and two Play:1s in the rear. iPhone music playback I can rattle the walls and music comes out of the rear speakers. But when watch TV I only either hear background noise or none at all. What do I need to buy/connect to my Playbar to get TV voices in the background?

    Did you bond them as surround speakers, or set them up as a separate room and group the two rooms together?

    In the case of the former, you wouldn’t get much voice, as surround speakers don’t carry voice in most cases. You’d be getting what would be considered surround data, as encoded by the original sound engineers for the source. That’s assuming that what you’re watching is in Dolby Digital, and your TV is sending that to the PLAYBAR.

    Setup as surround. Sounds like I need to set them up as separate rooms and group the two rooms, aye?
