Using Line-out

You can easily connect your home theater, stereo, or powered speakers to a ZonePlayer. Depending on your ZonePlayer model, you can use analog or digital audio outputs to connect to an external amplifier. The ZonePlayer 80 model has both digital and analog outputs, while the ZonePlayer 100 model has analog outputs.

For additional information on connecting audio devices, you can go to our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/cables.

To connect to a home theater

•If you have digital inputs on your home theater receiver and your ZonePlayer supports digital audio output, you can use either a TOSLINK™ optical audio ca- ble or a digital coaxial cable to connect the ZonePlayer's digital output to the digital input on your home theater receiver.

•If you have analog inputs on your receiver, use a standard RCA audio cable to connect a ZonePlayer's analog audio output to the audio inputs on your home theater receiver.

2.Select the proper input channel on your home theater system.
