#SONOS APP SWITCH TO TV TV#
The Ray's intelligent auto-switching function detects when your TV or projector is on, and automatically switches to that input. The Ray can also work with your current TV or cable box remote so you can control the volume without reaching for another remote or having to load the app on your phone. You won't need a separate hub or bridge device as the Ray connects to other Sonos speakers via WiFi. You can route your music to the Ray alone or to any or all of the other Sonos speakers within your home. Just select your music source within the Sonos app and select which speakers you want to play that music.

This means you can easily play music on the Ray from virtually any music streaming platform (e.g., Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora) or from your own local digital music library.
#SONOS APP SWITCH TO TV FOR ANDROID#
The Sonos Ray has touch controls on board the unit but it can also be controlled within the Sonos app for Android or Apple. The Sonos Ray includes touch controls for music playback and volume adjustment. For TVs without fiberoptic outputs, you may need a fiberoptic switch connected from your your cable box and/or streaming set-top box to the Ray in order to get sound from video sources. So check your TV for compatibility before purchasing a Ray. Some recent televisions have omitted this type of audio output, favoring HDMI ARC instead. Similar to the original PlayBar and PlayBase, the Ray connects to any TV or projector via a single optical cable. You can also get an optional wall-mount, for a more discrete look with wall-mounted TVs or projector screens. For details on how that works, check out our Sonos 5.1 surround guide.
