Downloading software updates

1.From the Sonos menu, select Check for Updates.

•Your ZonePlayers as well as your Desktop Controller software will be updat- ed, as all Sonos components must carry the same software version number. This process may take several minutes per device, depending upon your network connection. Your Sonos Desktop Controller software will automatically quit and then re-open during the update process.

•Software updates to your handheld Sonos Controller must be initiated from your Controller, so if you have updated your DCR, you will be prompted to up- date your Controller the next time you use it. Simply follow the on-screen prompts.

•If your software is up to date, the message “Your Sonos Digital Music System is up to date. No updates are required” will appear instead.

Caution: Do not disconnect power from your ZonePlayer(s), or in any way disable your Sonos Digital Music System while this process is running. Contact Sonos Customer Support if an error occurs.

When a ZonePlayer’s software version gets out of sync from the rest of your Sonos Digital Music System components, you will see the following message displayed in the Zones pane:

Click the outdated zone to begin the software update process.
