What is Line-in?
You can connect an external source like a CD player, portable music player, television, or AirPlay device to your Sonos system,
and stream the audio to any or all Sonos products (PLAY:5, CONNECT, or CONECT:AMP) around your house. For information on
connecting an external source, please see the SONOS® System Setup Guide.
What is music from UPnP servers?
Sonos can play music from compatible UPnP servers running on your network. If you are using a desktop application such as
Rhapsody to organize the music on your local drive, your Sonos system can access the music server using Universal Plug and
Play (UPnP).
What is Windows Media Player?
If you have Windows Media Player on your computer, you will need to turn on media sharing in Windows Media Player so that
the Sonos system can access the music stored in your WMP library. When media sharing is turned on, Sonos can play all the
music in your WMP library, including any DRM-free songs you’ve downloaded from a music service.
What is a docked iPod?
The SONOS DOCK allows you to play music stored on your docked iPod or iPhone in any or every room of your home, all
perfectly synchronized.
Radio
Sonos includes a radio guide that provides access to thousands of free Internet radio stations and broadcast programs. You
can easily find radio from all over the world—music, news, and variety programming, including archived shows and
podcasts.
• If you have a music service enabled on your computer, you can additionally select Internet radio stations from your
music service.
• Sonos currently supports MP3 and WMA streaming audio formats.
