Selecting a Location for Your PLAY:3

You can locate the SONOS PLAY:3 just about anywhere. Its compact size makes it easy to place the PLAY:3 on the kitchen counter, or take it out to the patio with you. For maximum enjoyment, we have a few guidelines:

•The SONOS PLAY:3 can be positioned either horizontally or vertically to accommodate the desired space—the EQ (audio equalization) will automatically adjust to create the best possible sound when the orientation is changed.

•The PLAY:3 is designed to work well even when placed next to a wall or other surface. For optimum performance, maintaining more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) clearance around the back of the unit is recommended.

•Care should be taken if placing the SONOS PLAY:3 close to an older CRT television. If you notice any discoloration or distortion of your picture quality, simply move the PLAY:3 further from the television.

•The SONOS PLAY:3 is not water-resistant. Don’t leave it outside during a rain storm or position it near water.

Wall Mounting the PLAY:3

The SONOS PLAY:3 has a 1/4 inch (6.75mm) integrated, threaded mounting hole. If desired, you can easily wall mount your PLAY:3 using a suitable mounting bracket (not included). Simply choose a location that’s close to an electrical outlet, taking care to avoid heat, steam, dripping water or hidden wiring, and follow the instructions included with your wall mount kit.

Note: Be sure the wall mount bracket you purchase will support at least 10lbs. (4.5 kgs).
