Not sure how you play to hook them up, there's no HDMI input on the speakers, there is the dongle you can purchase and then run an RCA/headphone jack input to the speakers that way. Or you could do it via bluetooth, but that could get tricky depending on the device.

The Sonos Era 100 speakers can be used as standalone speakers or as part of a Sonos surround sound system. When using two Sonos Era 100 speakers with your TV, they can function as left and right stereo speakers, providing a stereo audio experience. This means that the audio from your TV will be divided into two channels: left and right. If you're using two Sonos Era 100 speakers as part of a Sonos surround sound system, they can serve as the rear surround speakers. In this configuration, the audio from your TV will be processed by the Sonos system to create a surround sound experience, which typically involves decoding and distributing the audio across multiple channels, including front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and sometimes a subwoofer channel for low-frequency effects (LFE). The specific audio processing and channel configuration will depend on the capabilities of your TV, the content you're watching, and how the Sonos system is configured. In general, when using two Sonos Era 100 speakers as rear surround speakers, the audio may still be compressed into two channels (left and right) for the rear surround soundstage, but the Sonos system will create a spatial surround sound experience using these channels along with the other speakers in the system. If you have specific preferences for audio processing or channel configuration, I recommend consulting the user manual for your TV and the Sonos app or Sonos system settings for information on how to configure the audio output and surround sound settings to achieve your desired audio experience.
