A: Formation Duo has no physical inputs. The only way they can receive a source is wirelessly. If you have an Apple TV you can use Airplay 2 to send the sound to Duo and the video to your Sony TV set. Alternately, you could attach an optical output from your TV to a Formation Audio, and then wirelessly stream your TV sound to Duo. However, you may end up with lip-synch delays.
A: Formation Audio uses the Bowers & Wilkins Music App for control and to access streaming services. Any streaming services that are natively supported by Formation (and our Music App by extension of that) pull music directly from that streaming service. Your smart phone would just be used for selecting which piece of music you want to hear. The one exception is Spotify Connect. Formation supports Spotify connect and you would use the Spotify App. The only time your phone is used to stream music to Formation is if you use Bluetooth or Airplay.
