Sonos ZonePlayer ZP80 Setup Guide
9
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.
Adding More Sonos Components
Add a ZonePlayer
You can connect the ZonePlayer ZP80 using a wired or a wireless connection.
1. Connect to an external amplifier and plug in your ZonePlayer.
2. Choose one of the following options:
• Using the Sonos Controller, select System Settings→Add a ZonePlayer from the Music
menu.
• Using the Desktop Controller software, select Zones→Set Up Zones→Add.
Add a Controller
You should charge your new Sonos Controller when you remove it from the packaging. Plug it
into the power adapter, and then follow the Controller’s on-screen prompts to add it to your
music system (you can use the Controller while it is charging.)
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.
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,
