Wireless playback from Android devices

You can select and play music stored on any Android device that’s on the same network as your Sonos components. Playback is perfectly synchronized, in any or every room of your home. Simply choose This Mobile Device from the Sonos app on your Android smartphone or tablet to make audio selections and then you can use any Sonos controller to control playback.

Wireless music playback is compatible with Sonos software update 4.1.1 and higher, and any device running Android 2.1 and higher. (Wireless playback of podcasts is supported on Android 2.2 and higher.)

Using Headphones

The SONOS PLAY:5 has a headphone jack you can utilize for private listening. The headphone jack is auto detecting—plug in a pair of headphones and the PLAY:5’s built-in speakers automatically mute. When you unplug the headphones, the speakers automatically come back on.

When headphones are plugged in, a headphone icon is visible on the Volume screen of a Sonos controller.

Note: If you don’t hear sound coming from your PLAY:5, check to make sure there are no headphones plugged into the back of the unit.

1.Plug a pair of headphones into the headphone jack. (Sonos will automatically drop the volume level down to 25%.)

2.Put on your headphones and increase the volume to a comfortable listening volume.

Note: Long term exposure to music played at high volume through headphones can cause permanent hearing damage.

3.Remove the headphone jack from the back of the PLAY:5 when you are ready to resume listening through the built-in speakers.

You can connect an external source, such as a portable music player, to your SONOS PLAY:5. The device will be automatically detected as soon as you plug it in.

•To connect a portable music player, use the supplied 1/8" (3,5mm) stereo audio cable to plug a music player into the Audio In connection on the back of your S5.
