2-4 Setting Up a New Sonos System Step 1: Connect one Sonos component to your router Connect an Ethernet cable (supplied) from any of the Ethernet switch connectors on the back of a ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge to an open port on your router. Do not connect the Sonos component directly to your cable or DSL modem unless your modem has a built-in router. • The first Sonos component you install must connect to your home network us- ing an Ethernet cable. If you only have a wireless network, you can go to http://faq.sonos.com/wireless for assistance. • If you have structured (built-in) wiring that connects to a router located else- where in your home, you can connect from a live wall plate to any of the Ether- net switch connectors on the back of a Sonos component. Note: Which Sonos component should I connect to my broadband router? If you want to listen to music in this room: - Connect a ZonePlayer 120 with your choice of speakers - Connect a ZonePlayer 90 with an external amplifier or powered speakers - Connect a ZonePlayer S5 (which has built-in speakers) If you don’t plan to listen to music in this room, you can connect a Sonos ZoneBridge to your router instead.

Chapter 2: System Setup

2-5 Setup illustration (into router) Alternate setup illustration (no open router port) If you don’t have an open port on your router, you can disconnect your computer from the router and connect it to the ZoneBridge or ZonePlayer instead. Then you can connect the Sonos component into the router port the computer was previously plugged into (see ZoneBridge example below.) Note: To maintain your computer’s security, do not connect the Sonos component directly to your cable/DSL modem.

2-6 Step 2: Place ZonePlayers in the rooms of your choice After connecting one Sonos component to your router, place other ZonePlayers in the rooms of your choice. If you are connecting a ZonePlayer 120 1. Attach speakers to a ZonePlayer 120: • Your speaker’s power rating should be at least 75W for 8 Ohm speakers, and at least 150W for 4 Ohm speakers. Do not connect speakers rated at less than 4 Ohms. • Use your thumb or finger to firmly push the spring-loaded speaker connector post inward to reveal the connection hole. • Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire into the hole, then release. The stripped portion should be caught firmly in the connector post. Note: Connect the red (+) and black (-) terminals from each speaker to the corresponding terminals on the ZonePlayer. Mismatching of polarities will result in weak central sound, and a distorted sense of sound direction. When making connections, ensure that none of the strands of your speaker wire come in contact with an adjoining terminal on the rear panel.

So, connect your CD player to the Sonos Multi- Room Music System and listen to the CDs you haven’t had a chance to rip to your music library, or connect to your TV and listen to the game on the patio while cooking on the grill. Connecting a music source • Use a standard RCA cable to plug the external source into the analog Audio In connections on the back of your ZonePlayer. The source device will automati- cally be detected. • To connect a portable player to the ZonePlayer, use a 1/8 inch mini-stereo to RCA audio cable. Plug the mini-stereo end into the portable device and the RCA end into the Audio In connection on the ZonePlayer. Note: You can listen to music from the external device in any zone, and use the Sonos Multi-Room Music System to control the volume settings. However you must control the playback (forward, pause, etc.) from the line-in source. If you have Compressed encoding selected, you will notice a delay before the music starts to play.

What Are Zones?

A zone is just another word for a room in your house—Sonos lets you enjoy music in up to 32 rooms, inside or out. We call them zones because you can group rooms together to play the same song in every room, or you can listen to different songs in every room. This means you can group the kitchen and the patio together while barbecuing, link all the rooms in the house together for a party, or leave all the rooms unlinked and let the kids can enjoy rap in their rooms while you listen to jazz in your office. Zones can be managed from any Sonos Controller. Use the Zones menu to: • Select a zone to play some music in • See the music that’s currently playing in every room • Link zones together to form a zone group • Drop a zone from a zone group Music will continue to play while you browse. The current zone is highlighted on your screen, and the music selections you make will play in that zone. Zone Groups A zone can be grouped together with any other zone(s) to form a zone group. This will cause all the zones in the zone group to play the same music in synchrony. You can link or drop zones from a group while the music is playing. You can also link all the ZonePlayers in your house with one touch by selecting All Zones-Party Mode. Chapter 3

Sonos Multi-Room Music System User Guide

3-2 Linking zones You can create a zone group first and then select music to play, or you can add a room to a zone group where music is already playing. • Any zones you link will automatically drop their current music queue and begin to play the music queue from the highlighted zone. If you want to be able to play that music queue later, you can save it as a Sonos playlist before linking the zones. See "Sonos Playlists" on page 4-94 for more information. Using the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC Zones can be managed from either the Zones pane or the Zones menu. 1. From the Zones pane, highlight the zone you want to link to another zone or zone group. 2. Choose one of the following options: • Click Link Zone, or • From the Zones menu, select Link Zone. 3.

During the setup process, you are guided through the process of accessing these shared music folders. Over time, you may wish to add or remove music folders from this list. Sonos is designed to work with large music collections. Music folders are indexed so you can view your music by categories— you can index approximately 65,000 tracks to the Sonos library. If the metadata in your files contains lengthy artist, track, or album names, your music index may fill up more quickly. For additional information, you can go to http://faq.sonos.com/musicindex. • You can add or remove the shared folders Sonos accesses music from at any time. You may need to make changes if you add a computer to your home net- work, or if you move shared folders from one location to another. • If you add new music to a folder that is already indexed, simply update your music index to add this music to your library. • To play music from imported playlists, drop the playlist file .PLS, .M3U or .WPL into the same music folder that you have shared to the Sonos system, update your music index, and the custom playlists will appear when you select Imported Playlists from the Music menu.
