• Your Sonos products will all be updated as they must carry the same software version number. This process may take
several minutes per device, depending upon your network connection. The Sonos Controller for Mac will automati-
cally close and then re-open during the update process.
• Software updates to a handheld Sonos controller must be initiated from the controller, so if you have recently updated
the Sonos Controller for Mac, you will be prompted to update your handheld controllers the next time you use them.
Simply follow the on-screen prompts.
• If your software is up to date, the message “Your Sonos system is up to date. No Updates are Required.” will appear
instead.
• One or more Sonos products may need to be updated when you purchase a new Sonos product with a later software
version, or if you plug in a Sonos product that was not in use when you performed your last software update. If a prod-
uct’s software version gets out of sync with the rest of your Sonos system, a message will display in the ROOMS pane.
Click the outdated room to begin the software update process.
