Setting Up a New Sonos System

Follow the step-by-step instructions to ensure that you set up your Sonos® Multi-Room Music System correctly. These steps are fully explained in the pages that follow.

•If you experience any difficulty during the setup process, see "Tips and Trouble- shooting" on page A-1for additional help.

•The first ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge you set up should connect to your home network using a standard Ethernet cable (supplied).

1.Connect a Sonos component to your broadband router (with supplied Ethernet cable).

2.Place the ZonePlayers in the rooms where you want to play music, and connect the appropriate cables.

Install the software and follow the prompts to add the Sonos components, and set up access to your music files.

Note: During the setup process, you will be prompted to register your Sonos system. Your music system must be registered in order to receive future software updates, technical support and access to free music service trials, so please be sure to register during the setup process. We do not share your email address with other companies.

Step 1: Connect a Sonos component to your router

Note: Which Sonos component should I connect to my broadband router? If you are going to use speakers in this music zone, you can connect a ZonePlayer 120/100 to your router. If you are going to connect to an external amplifier, or to your computer’s powered speakers, you can connect a ZonePlayer 90/80. If you do not wish to play music in this room, you can connect a Sonos ZoneBridge.

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 using an Ethernet cable. If you only have a wireless network, you can go to http://faq.sonos.com/wireless for assistance. If you don’t have a router, go to
