5. Choose one of the following settings:
• If you want to associate the SUB with a different Sonos speaker, select Choose Room for SUB and then
select another room.

Surround speakers
You can easily pair two PLAY:1, PLAY:3 or PLAY:5 (gen2) speakers with a PLAYBASE to function as left and
right surround channels in your Sonos surround sound experience. Make sure the Sonos products are the
same—you can’t combine two different speaker types to function as surround speakers.
• Be sure to follow these instructions to set up your surround speakers. Do not create a room group or
stereo pair as these will not achieve the left and right surround channel functionality.
