Add More Sonos Components

Once you’ve set up your Sonos Digital Music System, you can easily add more components any time. If your house has structured (built-in) wiring, you can make a wired connection to the additional ZonePlayers. If you don’t have structured wiring, our built-in wireless technology is ideal for you.

Note: Thick walls, 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, and the presence of other wireless devices can interfere with the wireless network signals from your Sonos Digital Music System. If you are experiencing difficulty, it is advisable to relocate the ZonePlayer, change the wireless channel your music system is operating on, or make a wired connection (Ethernet cable) either from your router to the ZonePlayer, or from one ZonePlayer to another (see "Basic Troubleshooting" on page 13.) If you are having trouble placing your units within wireless range of each other, you can go to our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/range for more information.

Add a ZonePlayer

1.Choose one of the following options:

•If you are adding a ZonePlayer ZP100, attach desired speakers.

•If you are adding a ZonePlayer ZP80, connect it to an external amplified device.

Note: For detailed ZonePlayer ZP80 setup instructions, refer to the ZonePlayer ZP80 Setup Guide packaged with your ZonePlayer, or go to Sonos System Help, the online help system included with your Desktop Controller software.

2.If you are making a wired connection, connect a standard Ethernet cable from your router, another ZonePlayer, or a live network wall plate to one of the Ethernet switch connections on the back of the new ZonePlayer. If you are making a wireless connection, skip this step.

3.Attach the power cord and plug in your ZonePlayer.

4.Choose one of the following options:

•Use the Sonos Controller to add the ZonePlayer to your Sonos Digital Music System by se- lecting System Settings→Add a ZonePlayer from the Music menu.
