About the Sonos ZoneBridge Use a ZoneBridge to connect the Sonos Digital Music System to your home network— or if you want to set up a music zone in an area that lies beyond your current range, you can use a ZoneBridge to extend the wireless range of your Sonos Digital Music System. Where to Begin Already have Sonos? If you are adding this ZoneBridge to an existing Sonos music system, you can turn directly to page 5 for installation instructions. New to Sonos? Unpack your Sonos components, and then follow the setup instructions in this guide in sequential order to ensure that you set up your Sonos® ZoneBridge correctly. Once you have the ZoneBridge (or a ZonePlayer if you want to play music in this room) connected to your router, add ZonePlayers and the Controller(s) to complete the setup of your Sonos Digital Music System. See "Network requirements" on page 4 to make sure your home network is ready for Sonos, and then turn to page 7 for installation instructions. Important: The Sonos ZoneBridge requires the latest Sonos software release, so be sure to upgrade your music system prior to adding the ZoneBridge to your system. If you are setting up a new system, please select Yes when the CD-ROM displays a prompt to check for updates. If you already have a Sonos system, please select Online Updates from the System Settings menu on your Controller. ZonePlayer 100 (amplified) Receiver Your Computer Network Note: Your network must have a high-speed Internet connection, as the Sonos Digital Music System is designed to provide you with online software updates. Your Sonos system must be registered in order to receive updates, so be sure to register during the setup process. We do not share your e-mail address with other companies. To play the digital music files stored on your computer, your computer network must meet the following requirements:

Network requirements

• DSL/cable modem, or LAN-based, high-speed Internet connection.
• If you currently have a cable or DSL modem connected directly to your computer, you should install a router between your modem and your computer to enhance your computer’s security, and to share the Internet connection with the Sonos Digital Music System and other devices. If you do not have a router, you should purchase and install one before proceeding. Compatible operating systems
• Windows® XP, including Windows® XP Media Center
• Macintosh® OS X Please visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/specs for the latest system requirements. Adding To EXISTING Sonos System If you are adding this ZoneBridge to an existing Sonos system, please follow the steps below. If you are setting up a new Sonos Digital Music System, please turn to page 7 instead. You can use a Sonos ZoneBridge to replace the ZonePlayer™ that is currently wired to your home network, or place a ZoneBridge in any location to extend the wireless range of your Sonos Digital Music System. Important: If you are replacing the wired ZonePlayer in your music system with a Sonos ZoneBridge, first add the new ZoneBridge to your music system (steps below). You can then unplug the wired ZonePlayer, replace it with the Sonos ZoneBridge, and move the original ZonePlayer to a new location.

Attach the power adapter and plug in the ZoneBridge. Be sure it is the proper power adapter for your country. Check for software updates by choosing one of the following options:

• Use the Sonos Controller to check for software updates by selecting System Settings→Online Updates from the Music menu.
• Use the Desktop Controller software to check for software updates by selecting Help→Check for Updates.

If you are making a wired connection, connect an Ethernet cable (supplied). If you are making a wireless connection, skip this step and continue.

Choose one of the following options:

• Use the Desktop Controller software to add the ZoneBridge to your music system by selecting Add a ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge from the Zones menu.
• Use the Sonos Controller to add the ZoneBridge to your music system by selecting System Settings→Add a ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge from the Music menu. During the setup process, you will be asked to press and release the Connect button on top of the ZoneBridge. The indicator lights will flash green and white while the ZoneBridge is connecting. Now that you’ve added the ZoneBridge to your music system—
• If you are replacing the ZonePlayer that is currently attached to your router, you can unplug the wired ZonePlayer, replace it with the Sonos ZoneBridge, and move the original ZonePlayer to a new location.
• If you are using the ZoneBridge elsewhere in your house to extend your wireless network, you can now move any of your existing ZonePlayers to other locations if desired. Setting Up NEW Sonos System Connect the ZoneBridge to your home network by following the steps below. (If you are going to use speakers in this music zone, you can connect a ZonePlayer 100 in step 2 instead. If you would like to utilize an external amplifier or powered speakers in this music zone, you can connect a ZonePlayer 80 in step 2 instead.)

Attach the power adapter and plug in the Sonos ZoneBridge.

Connect an Ethernet cable (supplied) from one of the Ethernet switch connectors on the back of your ZoneBridge to an open port on your router.

• Do not connect the ZoneBridge directly to your cable or DSL modem unless your modem has a built-in router.
• If you don’t have a router, go to http://faq.sonos.com/norouter for instructions. If you don’t have an open port on your router, you can disconnect your computer from the router and connect it to the ZoneBridge instead (see below). Then connect the ZoneBridge into the router port the computer was previously plugged into. Cable/DSL modem ZoneBridge Router Computer Insert the Sonos System Setup CD-ROM, and follow the prompts to connect the ZoneBridge. The CD-ROM will quickly and easily guide you through the setup process. (If you purchased multiple Sonos components, you may have more than one System Setup CD-ROM—use the one that accompanied your ZoneBridge and you can put the others away.) Important: When you insert the CD-ROM, you will be prompted to check for software updates. Be sure to select Yes, as the Sonos ZoneBridge requires the latest software release. For use with:
• Windows XP, including Windows XP Media Center
• Macintosh OS X Please visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/specs for the latest compatible operating system versions. Now that you’ve set up the ZoneBridge you are ready to add the rest of your Sonos components. Turn to "Adding More Sonos Components" on page 10.

Adding More Sonos Components Once you’ve set up your ZoneBridge, you can easily add more components any time. If your house has structured (built-in) wiring, you can make a wired connection to additional ZonePlayers or ZoneBridges. 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 Sonos component, change the wireless channel your music system is operating on, or make a wired connection (Ethernet cable) either from your router to the ZoneBridge, or from one ZonePlayer to another (see page 15.) If you are having trouble placing your units within wireless range of each other, visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/range. Add a ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge

1. Choose one of the following options:

• If you are adding an amplified ZonePlayer, attach desired speakers.
• If you are adding a ZonePlayer 80, connect an external amplifier.

Basic Troubleshooting Important: Under no circumstances should the product be repaired by anyone other than an authorized Sonos repair center, as this will invalidate the warranty. Please contact the Sonos Customer Service Center to locate an authorized repair center in your area. Do not open the system as there is a risk of electric shock. If a problem occurs, you can try the troubleshooting suggestions listed below. If one of these doesn’t remedy the problem, or you are not sure how to proceed, please contact the Sonos Customer Service Center and we’ll be happy to help.

• Web site Visit our Web site at www.sonos.com/support. There you can visit our Forums, browse our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) pages, or request assistance.
• Telephone Visit our Web site at www.sonos.com/support and click Phone Support to find the correct telephone number for your country. ZoneBridge not detected during setup Did you allow Sonos to check for updates? The Sonos ZoneBridge requires the latest software release, so please update your Sonos system and then try again. If you are setting up a new system, check to make sure you are using the Sonos System Setup CD-ROM packaged with your ZoneBridge, and select Yes when the CD-ROM displays a prompt to check for updates. If you already have a Sonos system, please select Online Updates from the System Settings menu on your Controller.

If that is not the problem, a network or a firewall issue may be preventing the ZoneBridge from joining your Sonos system. If this is a wireless ZoneBridge, try moving the ZoneBridge closer to a ZonePlayer, or wire the ZoneBridge temporarily to see if the problem is related to wireless interference. If you encounter this message when installing the first Sonos component, (wired to your router), you can try the steps below to resolve this issue.

1. Check the firewall

Firewall software installed on the computer may be blocking the ports that Sonos uses to operate. First, disable all your firewalls and try to connect again. If this resolves the problem, you should configure your firewall to work with the Sonos Desktop Controller. Please visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/firewall for additional information. If this does not resolve the problem, you can try step 2 below.

2. Check the router

You can bypass your router’s switch to determine whether there are any router configuration issues by connecting Sonos as follows (note that the ZoneBridge and the computer still have Internet access in this configuration):

• Be sure that your cable/DSL modem is connected to the router’s WAN (Internet) port.
• Temporarily remove any other components that are wired to your network.
• Connect an Ethernet cable from the computer directly to the back of the ZoneBridge, and then connect another Ethernet cable from the ZoneBridge directly to one of the LAN ports on your router.
• When you make a change to your network configuration, you may need to power cycle the ZoneBridge by unplugging the power cord, and then plugging it back in.
• If you are not using a router, visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/norouter for more information. If you are still experiencing problems, please contact the Sonos Customer Service Center. Important Safety Information
