Using Line-In
You can connect an external source, such as a portable music player, to your SONOS PLAY:5. The device will be automatically
detected as soon as you plug it in.
To connect a portable music player, use the supplied 1/8" (3,5mm) stereo audio cable to plug a music player into the
Audio In connection on the back of your S5.
To connect another external source, such as a CD player, you can use a 1/8" (3,5mm) mini-stereo to RCA audio cable.
Plug the mini-stereo end into the S5, and plug the RCA end into the audio outputs on the external device.
