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.
