Selecting a Location for Your PLAY:1
You can locate a SONOS PLAY:1 just about anywhere. For maximum enjoyment, we have a few guidelines:
• The PLAY:1 is designed to work well even when placed next to a wall or other surface. For optimum performance,
maintaining more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) clearance around the back of the unit is recommended.
• Care should be taken if placing the PLAY:1 close to an older CRT television. If you notice any discoloration or
distortion of your picture quality, simply move the PLAY:1 further from the television.
• The PLAY:1 is humidity-resistant so you can use it in the bathroom; however it is not water-resistant so don’t position
it near water or leave it outside during a rain storm.
Wall Mounting the PLAY:1
The SONOS PLAY:1 has a 1/4 inch (6.75mm) integrated, threaded (20 threads per inch) mounting hole. If desired, you can
easily wall mount your PLAY:1 using a suitable mounting bracket (not included). Simply choose a location that’s close to an
electrical outlet, taking care to avoid heat, steam, dripping water or hidden wiring, and follow the instructions included with
the wall mount kit.
