Attach the power cord and plug in Amp.
You’ll use our app to set up and control your Sonos system. If you don’t have the Sonos app,
download it from your app store. See Controls and lights.
Connect Amp to your TV
Use an HDMI cable to connect Amp to your TV. When connected, Amp creates two front audio
channels and plays your TV sound through your favorite non-Sonos speakers.
Note: You may need the optical adapter too (the app lets you know).
1. Fully insert the HDMI cable into Amp’s HDMI port.
2. Connect the HDMI cable to your TV. You have two choices:
If your TV has an HDMI ARC port, connect the HDMI cable directly to the TV’s HDMI ARC
port.
If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI ARC port, attach the optical adapter to the HDMI cable
and connect it to the TV’s optical digital OUT port.
If your TV has an HDMI ARC port
HDMI ARC is a special port that looks like a standard HDMI port. Although they look the same, if you
connect to a standard HDMI port,
you won’t hear sound
.
1. On your TV’s audio OUT panel, locate the HDMI ARC port.
It may be on the back or side of your TV. Look for the port with “ARC” on the label.
2. Connect the HDMI cable to the TV’s HDMI ARC port.
Note: If you can’t find a port with the word “ARC” on the label, your TV doesn’t have an HDMI ARC
port. See If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI ARC port.
If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI ARC port
You’ll need the optical audio adapter.
1. Remove the protective cap from the optical adapter.
2. Attach the optical adapter to the HDMI cable.
