Sonos ZonePlayer ZP100 Setup Guide

Using Line-In

You can connect an external source such as a CD player, portable music player, or television to your Sonos Digital Music System. The device will be automatically detected as soon as you plug it in.

1.Use a standard RCA cable to plug an external source like a CD player into the analog Audio In connections on the back of your ZonePlayer ZP100.

•If you are connecting a portable player to the ZonePlayer ZP100, you will need a 1/8 inch mini-stereo to RCA audio cable instead. Plug the mini-stereo end into the portable device and the RCA end into the Audio In connection on the ZonePlayer.

2.Choose one of the following options:

•From the Sonos Controller, select Line-In Sources from the Music menu. Click Setup to select a source name for this device. Once setup is complete, simply select Line-In Sources from the Music menu, and touch Play any time youwant toplay music from this device.

•From the Desktop Controller software, select the Line-Intab from the Music Library. Select Edit Name to select a source name for this device. Once setup is complete, simply select Line-In Sources from the Music Library, and press Play Now any time you want to play music from this device.

A default (typical) line-in level is automatically assigned when you select a source name. If the volume sounds too low, you can select a higher line level for this device. You may experience clipping at higher volume levels if you set the level too high.

Line-in encoding settings

When you have line-in music sources attached to a ZonePlayer, line-in encoding determines how the Sonos Digital Music System will encode the data coming in from these sources. For multi-room audio, we recommend using the Compressed setting. For the highest quality sound, you can select Uncompressed encoding, but this selection requires more network bandwidth than compressed audio. For TV or DVD audio, we recommend using the Uncompressed setting.

Note: You will notice a delay when a line-in source is in use. When the Uncompressed encoding setting is selected, this delay is significantly reduced.
