Sonos CONNECT Speaker System User Manual


 
The SONOS CONNECT
The SONOS CONNECT (formerly ZonePlayer 90) is designed to be used with an external amplifier. It contains both analog and
digital outputs so you can easily connect it to your existing audio equipment.
Use a SONOS CONNECT to listen to music in a room where you already have an amplifier, such as your home theater
system or the stereo system in your family room.
Use a SONOS CONNECT to listen to music in your home office where you already have a computer or a pair of powered
speakers.
Use a SONOS CONNECT if you have a distributed audio system that is driven from an amplifier in one central location
with speaker wires home-run to this central location.
New to Sonos?
It takes just a few steps to get your Sonos system up and running (the steps below are fully explained in the Quick Start
Guide packaged with your SONOS CONNECT) —
Connect one Sonos component (BRIDGE, CONNECT, PLAY:3, PLAY:5, CONNECT:AMP) to your broadband router using an
Ethernet cable (supplied).
Place other Sonos components in the room(s) of your choice.
Install the software and follow the prompts to add the Sonos component(s) and set up access to your music files.
Add a Sonos controller to your music system.
Adding to an existing Sonos system?
Sonos can be easily expanded room by room. If you are adding this CONNECT to an existing Sonos system, you can turn
directly to "Adding to an Existing Sonos System" on page 5.
Your Home Network
To access Internet music services, Internet radio, and any digital music stored on your computer or Network-Attached
Storage (NAS) device, your home network must meet the following requirements:
Network requirements
High-speed DSL/Cable modem, or fiber-to-the-home broadband connection for proper playback of Internet-based
music services. (If your Internet service provider only offers Satellite Internet access, you may experience playback
issues due to fluctuating download rates.)
If your modem is not a modem/router combination and you want to take advantage of Sonos' automatic online
updates, or stream music from an Internet-based music service, you must install a router in your home network. If
you do not have a router, purchase and install one before proceeding.
