About the ZonePlayer ZP80
The ZonePlayer ZP80 is designed to be used with an external amplifier. It contains both analog
and digital outputs so that you can easily connect it to your existing audio equipment.
     • Use a ZonePlayer ZP80 to connect your Sonos Digital Music System 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 ZonePlayer ZP80 to create a music zone in your home office where you already
       have a computer or a pair of powered speakers.
     • Use a ZonePlayer ZP80 if you have a distributed audio system that is driven from one cen-
       tral location with speaker wires home-run to this central location.
     • Use a ZonePlayer ZP80 to extend the wireless range of your Sonos Digital Music System
       if you want to set up a music zone in an area that lies beyond your current range. All Zone-
       Players, including the ZP80, can be used as wireless extenders by using the Hidden Zone
       feature. Hidden zones do not output any audio signals, and are not displayed on the
       Zones menu with the ZonePlayers operating in Normal mode. For more information on
       this feature, you can go to the online help system included with your Desktop Controller
       software.

Your Computer Network
To play the digital music files stored on your computer, your computer network must meet the
following requirements:
Network requirements
     • You must have an Ethernet network interface connection in your computer. If you do not
       have one, you will need to buy and install a Network Interface Card (NIC) before proceed-
       ing.
     • DSL/cable modem, or LAN-based, high-speed Internet connection.
     • If you currently have a cable or DSL modem connected directly to your computer, you
       should install a router between your modem and your computer to enhance your
       computer’s security, share the internet connection with SONOS and other devices, and
       simplify the installation and maintenance of your SONOS system. If you do not have a
       router, you should purchase and install one before proceeding.

           Note: Your network must have a high-speed Internet connection, as the Sonos Digital
           Music System is designed to provide you with online software updates. Your Sonos
           system must be registered to receive these updates, so be sure to register during the
           setup process. We do not share your e-mail address with other companies.

Setting Up a ZonePlayer ZP80
           Note: The first ZonePlayer you install must connect to your home network using a
           standard Ethernet cable (supplied). If you should experience any difficulty during
           the setup process, please go to www.sonos.com/support for additional help.

2.   Connect a standard Ethernet cable (supplied) from either of the two (2) Ethernet switch
     connectors on the back of your ZonePlayer ZP80 to an open port on your router (see A in
     the diagram below). Do not connect the ZonePlayer directly to your cable or DSL modem
     unless your modem has a built-in router.

            Desktop Controller software. During installation, you may see prompts from your firewall
            software indicating that the Sonos application is attempting to perform certain
            operations. You should always allow full access to the Sonos application. You may
            also need to change the settings of your firewall software to ensure that Windows file
            sharing is not blocked. Please go to our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/firewall for
            detailed instructions.

     following options:
     • Use the Sonos Controller to add the ZonePlayer ZP80 to your music system by selecting
         System Settings→Add a ZonePlayer from the Music menu. Or,
     • Use the Desktop Controller software to add the ZonePlayer ZP80 to your music system by
       selecting Zones→Set Up Zones→Add.

         During the setup process, you will be asked
                                                                                   Mute button

     • Using the Sonos Controller, from the Music menu, select System Settings. Select Zone-
        Player Settings, and use the scroll wheel to highlight the ZonePlayer attached to your
        home theater. Select Line-Out Level, and choose Variable.

4.   If desired, you can readjust the volume on your home theater system so that the volume
     range for the Controller falls within your typical listening range.

Connecting to a Computer
1.   If you are connecting Line-out to your computer: You will need a stereo mini to RCA Y-adapter
     audio cable (one 1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) 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 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.


Adding More Sonos Components
           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, go to
           www.sonos.com/support.

       menu.
