You can't "connect" the PLAY5 that directly. Have a look on the net... I connected the Playbar to the TV (optical cable). The Playbar then builds up a network and can optionally be supplemented with a subwoofer and left/right speakers (3.1 or 5.1). The PLAY5 can be integrated as the left/right speaker. Personally, I don't think this makes sense because PLAY1s are perfectly adequate. But that's a matter of taste and money ;-)
