Unpack your Sonos components, and then simply follow the setup instructions in sequential order to ensure that you set up your Sonos® Digital Music System correctly.
Chapter 2: System Setup 2-2 Setting Up a New Sonos System Follow the step-by-step instructions to ensure that you set up your Sonos® Digital Music System correctly. These steps are fully explained in the pages that follow. • If you experience any difficulty during the setup process, see "Tips and Troubleshooting" on page A-1for additional help. • The first ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge you set up should connect to your home network using a standard Ethernet cable (supplied). 1.
Chapter 2: System Setup 2-3 Step 1: Connect a Sonos component to your home network Connect the Ethernet cable from an open port on your broadband router to any of the Ethernet switch connectors on the back of a ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge. Note: You can connect a ZoneBridge, a ZonePlayer 80, or a ZonePlayer 100 to your router. If you are going to use speakers in this music zone, you can connect a ZonePlayer 100 to your router.
2-4 Chapter 2: System Setup Setup illustrations (no open router port) If you don’t have an open port on your router, you can disconnect your computer from the router and connect it to the ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge instead. Then you can connect the Sonos component into the router port the computer was previously plugged into. Note: To maintain your computer’s security, do not connect the Sonos component directly to your cable/DSL modem.
Chapter 2: System Setup 2-5
Chapter 2: System Setup 2-6 Step 2: Place the ZonePlayers in the rooms of your choice Place the ZonePlayers in the rooms of your choice. If you are setting up a ZonePlayer 100, attach the speakers.

Chapter 2: System Setup 2-10 Adding To An Existing Sonos System When and why should I use a wireless connection? The Sonos Digital Music system uses a built-in wireless connection to communicate between Sonos components. You can place ZonePlayers anywhere without physically connecting them to your computer network, as long as they are within transmitting range (up to 100 ft. depending upon your home’s layout).
Chapter 2: System Setup 2-11 Use a Sonos ZoneBridge to replace the ZonePlayer that is currently wired to your home network, or place a ZoneBridge in any location to extend the wireless range of your Sonos Digital Music System. Note: If you are replacing the wired ZonePlayer in your music system with a Sonos ZoneBridge, first add the new ZoneBridge to your music system (steps below).
Chapter 2: System Setup 2-12 if desired. A Sonos ZoneBridge will not display in your Zones menu after it is set up.
