Chapter 2: ZonePlayer Setup and Operation
2-5
If you are connecting a ZonePlayer 100
Once you have connected the ZonePlayer to your home network, follow the steps
below to attach speakers to the ZonePlayer 100, and then apply power.
Your speaker’s power rating should be at least 75W for 8 Ohm speakers, and at least
150W for 4 Ohm speakers. Do not connect speakers rated at less than 4 Ohms.
1. When making connections, ensure that none of the strands of your speaker wire
come in contact with an adjoining terminal on the rear panel.
2. Use your thumb or finger to firmly push the spring-
loaded speaker connector post inward to reveal the
connection hole.
3. Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire into the
hole, then release. The stripped portion should be caught
firmly in the connector post.
4. Repeat to install the other speaker wires.
5. Attach the power cord and plug into a wall outlet.
The Mute button indicator and the ZonePlayer Status indicator will begin to flash.
(If this ZonePlayer was previously connected to another Sonos Digital Music System,
the ZonePlayer Status indicator may light solid white instead.)
Note: Connect the red (+) and black (-) terminals from each speaker to the
corresponding terminals on the ZonePlayer. Mismatching of polarities will result in
weak central sound, and a distorted sense of sound direction.
