To connect 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 mini-plug to dual RCA male connec-
tors) 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 mini-plug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect
the computer’s speakers to the audio outputs on the ZonePlayer. If your speak-
ers have a male 1/8-inch stereo plug, you can attach a female-to-female coupler
between the speaker plug and the Y adapter audio cable, or you can use a Y-
adapter audio cable (one 1/8-inch Female connector to dual RCA male connec-
tors).
Note: When you change the line-out level to Fixed on your ZonePlayer, you will not
be able to adjust the volume or the equalization settings using your Sonos
Controller.
