work. (You can check the IP addresses assigned to your ZonePlayers by selecting Music>System Settings>About Your Multi-Room Music System.) The DHCP server built in to some routers may be configured to supply IP addresses only to devices with specific permitted Ethernet MAC addresses. If you have configured your router in this way, you will need to grant permission to the Ethernet MAC address of each Sonos component (including the Controller) before setting up your system. Go to http://faq.sonos.com/dhcp for more information.

There’s a delay when I play music from an external music source

If Compressed is selected as the encoding method for your line-in music source, you will notice a delay before the music starts to play. When Uncompressed is selected, this delay is significantly reduced.

Controller screen is frozen

If your Controller’s screen should freeze, press and hold the Mute and Music buttons simultaneously on the Controller for approximately 3 seconds. The Controller will reset itself momentarily.

Zones do not display properly

If the Controller does not display your zones properly, or displays the message, “Searching for ZonePlayers...”

•Make sure at least one ZonePlayer is plugged in and its status indicator is illumi- nated solid white.

•The ZonePlayer(s) may be going through an upgrade/restart, and zones will re- appear after the restart.

•Move the Controller closer to the ZonePlayer.

•Your Controller may be configured to work with a different Sonos Multi-Room Music System. Disconnect the Controller (see below) from the Sonos Multi- Room Music System, and then re-add it. (This may be necessary if you pur- chased a previously used Sonos system, or you inadvertently set up two differ- ent mesh networks during the setup process.)
