  • If you are connecting to powered speakers: You may need a Y-adapter audio cable Sonos ZonePlayer 90 Setup Guide

(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 Multi-room Music System using the audio-in connections on your ZonePlayer. 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 90.

  • If you are connecting a portable music player to the ZonePlayer 90, 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. Select Edit Name to choose 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.

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.

Sonos ZonePlayer 90 Setup Guide 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 Multi-room 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. Sonos ZonePlayer 90 Setup Guide

Sonos ZonePlayer 90 Setup Guide ZonePlayer not detected during setup A network or a firewall issue may be preventing the ZonePlayer from joining your Sonos system. 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 Sonos component, you can try the steps below to resolve this issue. If you are still experiencing problems, please contact the Sonos Customer Service Center.

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, then 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 ZonePlayer and the computer still have Internet access in this configuration): Sonos ZonePlayer 90 Setup Guide

  • 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, visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/norouter for more information.

Sonos ZonePlayer 90 Setup Guide

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. 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 Multi-room Music System.

1. Verify that this is not a DHCP or network problem.

  • Disconnect the Ethernet cable 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.
  • When the status indicator light on the front of the ZonePlayer 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 below. Sonos ZonePlayer 90 Setup Guide

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 wireless network will become sluggish and bogged down.

4. Change the wireless channel your Sonos system is operating on.

  • Using the Desktop Controller for Windows: From the File menu, select Preferences. Click the Advanced tab, and select another wireless channel from the Wireless Channel list.
  • Using the Desktop Controller for Macintosh: From the Sonos menu, select Preferences. Click the Advanced tab, and 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.
