SONOS USER GUIDE
Select a location
You can place Port just about anywhere—in an electronics rack, on a shelf, or on a credenza with your audio/
video receiver (AVR).
Rack mounted
Port fits perfectly in any electronics rack using a third-party shelf. You can fit 3 units across a standard rack
and take up only 1 rack unit of vertical space.
Placed on a credenza
• Place horizontally on a stable and level surface.
• If you put it on a shelf, for best performance place it at the front and leave at least 2" space all around.
Connect the cables
Connect the power cord
Attach the power cord and plug in your Port.
If you’re connecting to powered speakers
You may need a Y-adapter audio cable (one 1/8" stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect
powered speakers to the audio outputs on the Sonos product. If your speakers have a male 1/8" stereo plug,
you’ll need to attach a female-to-female coupler between the speaker plug and the Y-adapter audio cable.
If you don’t have the Sonos app, download it from the app store on your mobile device. You’ll use it to set up
and control your Sonos system.
If you’re connecting to an audio/video receiver (AVR) or amplifier
• If you have digital inputs on your AVR or amplifier, you can use a digital coaxial cable to connect Port’s
12 V trigger Use a stereo or 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable to wake your
third-party amplifier whenever Sonos starts playing
audio.
Note: Read the guide that came with your amplifier for
details on the use of 12V trigger input.
AC power (mains) input Use only the included power supply (using a third-party
power supply will void your warranty).
Analog audio in Use a standard RCA audio cable (included) to connect
Port’s analog audio inputs to the audio outputs from a
separate audio component, like a pre-amplified
turntable.
Analog audio out Use a standard RCA audio cable (included) to connect
Port’s analog audio outputs to the audio inputs on your
amplified audio component.
Digital audio out Use a digital coaxial cable to connect Port’s coaxial
digital audio output to the audio inputs on your amplified
audio component.
