Connect to a home theater or amplifier

•If you have digital inputs on your home theater or amplifier, you can use either a TOSLINK® optical audio cable or a digital coaxial cable to connect the ZonePlay- er 90/80’s digital output to the digital input on the receiver.

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

•Select the proper input channel on the receiver.

•After you finish setting up your Sonos system, go to "Using Line-out" on page 2- 18 to adjust the volume settings.

Connect to a computer or powered speakers

•You will need a stereo mini to RCA Y-adapter audio cable (one 1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect the ZonePlayer’s analog audio output to the computer’s audio input.

•You may need a Y-adapter audio cable (one1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect the speakers to the audio outputs on the ZonePlayer. If your speakers have a male 1/8-inch stereo plug, you will need to attach a female-to-female coupler between the speaker plug and the Y-adapter audio cable.
