Note: Firewall software such as Norton Internet Security™, McAfee™ Personal Firewall, Windows® Service Pack 2, or Mac OS X built-in firewall, can block the operation of your Sonos Desktop Controller software. During installation, you may see prompts from your firewall software indicating that the Sonos application is attempting to perform certain operations. You should always allow full access to the Sonos application. You may also need to change the settings of your firewall software to ensure that Windows file sharing is not blocked. Please go to our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/firewall for detailed instructions.

Plug your Sonos Controller into the power adapter and follow the prompts on the Controller’s screen to add it to your music system. You can use the Controller while it is charging. Now that your Sonos system is set up, you can connect the ZonePlayer ZP80 to an external amplifier such as your home theater or your computer (see "Using Line-Out" on page 7.) IF you are adding to an existing Sonos system Important: If you want to replace the wired ZonePlayer in your music system with a ZonePlayer ZP80, first add the new ZonePlayer ZP80 to your music system (steps below). You can then unplug the wired ZonePlayer, replace it with the ZP80, and move the original ZonePlayer to a new location.

Attach the power cord and plug in the ZonePlayer ZP80.

If you are making a wired connection, connect a standard Ethernet cable. If you are making a wireless connection, skip this step and continue.

Choose one of the following options:

• Use the Sonos Controller to add the ZonePlayer ZP80 to your music system by selecting System Settings→Add a ZonePlayer from the Music menu. Or,
• Use the Desktop Controller software to add the ZonePlayer ZP80 to your music system by selecting Zones→Set Up Zones→Add. During the setup process, you will be asked to press and release the Mute and Volume Up buttons simultaneously on the ZonePlayer you are adding to your music system. Now you are ready to connect the ZonePlayer ZP80 to an external amplifier, such as your home theater or computer (see "Using Line-Out" on page 7.) Using Line-Out Use the ZonePlayer’s audio outputs to connect a home theater, computer, powered speakers, or an amplifier to the ZonePlayer ZP80. Connecting to a home theater or amplifier For additional information on connecting audio devices, please go to our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/cables.

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 ZonePlayer ZP80’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 the ZonePlayer ZP80’s analog audio output to the audio inputs on the receiver.

Select the proper input channel on the receiver. Controlling the volume from your home theater or amplifier To control the volume exclusively from your home theater or amplifier, you can change the lineout level on this ZonePlayer to Fixed by selecting one of the following options:

• Using the Sonos Controller, from the Music menu, select System Settings. Select ZonePlayer Settings, and use the scroll wheel to highlight the ZonePlayer attached to the receiver. Select Line-Out Level, and choose Fixed.
• Using the Desktop Controller software, select Set Up Zones from the Zones menu. Select the ZonePlayer attached to the receiver, and then click Settings. Click the Line-Out tab, and choose Fixed. Note: When you change the line-out level to Fixed on your ZonePlayer ZP80, you will not be able to adjust the volume or the equalization settings using your Sonos Controller. Controlling the volume from your Sonos system

Adjust your home theater or amplifier’s volume to typical listening volume.

If the line-out level on this ZonePlayer is not currently set to Variable, you will need to change it:

• Using the Sonos Controller, from the Music menu, select System Settings. Select ZonePlayer Settings, and use the scroll wheel to highlight the ZonePlayer attached to the receiver. Select Line-Out Level, and choose Variable.
• Using the Desktop Controller software, select Set Up Zones from the Zones menu. Select

Use the Sonos Controller to adjust the volume on your Sonos system so you can hear music. This may be at the high end of the volume scale.

If desired, you can readjust the volume on your home theater system or amplifier so that the volume range for the Controller falls within your typical listening range. Connecting to a computer or powered speakers

• If you are connecting to your computer: 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.
• If you are connecting to powered speakers: You may need a Y-adapter audio cable (one 1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect the computer’s 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. Using Line-In You can easily stream an external source such as a CD player or portable music player through your Sonos Digital Music System using the audio-in connections on your ZonePlayer. The device will be automatically detected as soon as you plug it in.

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 ZP80.

• If you are connecting a portable music player to the ZonePlayer ZP80, 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.

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 you want to play music from this device.
• From the Desktop Controller software, select the Line-In tab 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. Adding More Sonos Components Note: Thick walls, 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, and the presence of other wireless devices can interfere with or block 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. For more information on wireless connections, go to www.sonos.com/support. Add a ZonePlayer You can connect the ZonePlayer ZP80 using a wired or a wireless connection.

Basic Troubleshooting

Warning: 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. ZonePlayer not detected during setup A network problem may be preventing the ZonePlayer from associating with the Desktop Controller software. If this is a wireless ZonePlayer, try moving the ZonePlayers closer together, or wire the ZonePlayer temporarily to see if the problem is related to wireless interference. If you encounter this message when installing the first wired ZonePlayer, you can try the steps below to resolve this issue:

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, then you should configure your firewall to work with the Sonos music system. You can go to our Website at http://faq.sonos.com/firewall for additional information. If this does not resolve the problem, you can try step 2.

2. Check the router

You can bypass your router’s switch to determine whether there are any router configuration issues (note that the ZonePlayer 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 ZonePlayer, and then connect another Ethernet cable from the ZonePlayer 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 ZonePlayer by unplugging the power cord, and then plugging it back in.
• If you are not using a router, see http://faq.sonos.com/norouter.

3. Check the wiring

Check the link/activity lights on both the router and the ZonePlayer. They should be green, and there should be blinking activity lights.

• If the green link lights are not lit, try connecting to a different port.
• If the link lights still do not light, try connecting a different Ethernet cable. If you are still experiencing problems, please contact the Sonos Customer Service Center.

When adding the handheld Sonos Controller, it fails to detect the ZonePlayer(s) Wireless interference or a network problem may be preventing the Controller from joining your Sonos Digital Music System.

Verify that this is not a DHCP or network problem.

• Disconnect the Ethernet cables from the back of the ZonePlayer so that it is not connected to your network.
• Unplug the ZonePlayer's power cord and then plug it back in.
• Once the status indicator light stops blinking white, try adding your Controller again. If it works, your router's DHCP server may have run out of available IP addresses to assign to the Controller. In most cases you can log into your router by typing http://192.168.1.1 into your browser’s address line (the IP address of your router may be different). Check the DHCP settings and increase the number of IP addresses available in the DHCP scope. If your Controller still does not recognize the ZonePlayer after completing this step, you can try step 2.

2. Turn off any 2.4GHz cordless phones.

Some 2.4GHz cordless telephones can cause wireless interference. If turning off your 2.4GHz cordless phone resolves the problem, you should consider switching to a 5.8Ghz or 900Mhz phone (or change the wireless channel your Sonos system is operating on - see step 4 below.)

3. Put 108 Mbps wireless routers into 54 Mbps mode.

Sonos cannot function properly when a router is operating in "turbo" mode. In order to double the speed from 54 Mbps to 108 Mbps, the router goes into a wide bandwidth mode which utilizes most of the 2.4 GHz spectrum that the FCC has set aside for 802.11b/g devices. This means that interference (RF noise) will occur with any other 2.4 GHz device that is not operating on the same channel as the 108 Mbps device (usually channel 6). While it is possible to put all of your wireless devices on channel 6, it is unwise. The devices will have to compete for available bandwidth, and your entire Wi-Fi network will become sluggish and bogged down.

Change the wireless channel your Sonos system is operating on.

• Using the Desktop Controller software for Windows: From the File menu, select Preferences. Click the Advanced tab, and then select another wireless channel from the Wireless Channel list.
• Using the Desktop Controller software for Macintosh: From the Sonos menu, select Preferences. Click the Advanced tab, and then select another wireless channel from the Wireless Channel list. It may take several seconds for the switch to take effect. If you have music playing, a short music dropout will occur during the wireless channel change. Important Safety Information
