From other audio devices
You can connect an audio device like a turntable, stereo, or MP3 player to a Play:5, Amp, Connect, or
Connect:Amp and stream the audio to Sonos. Just plug in any device you want, then go to Browse > Line-In
and select the source.
To an external source like a pre-amped turntable:
• Amp/Connect/Connect:Amp—Plug a standard RCA cable into the analog Audio In connections on the
back of your Sonos speaker.
• Play:5—You need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo audio cable.
To a portable music player:
• Amp/Connect/Connect:Amp—Use a 1/8" mini-stereo to RCA audio cable—plug the mini-stereo end
into the portable device and the RCA end into the Audio In connection on the Sonos speaker.
• Play:5—You need a 1/8" (3.5mm) mini-stereo to RCA audio cable.
Change the settings
1. Go to > Settings > Room Settings. Choose the Sonos speaker the source is connected to and
touch Advanced Audio > Line-In.
2. You can change the following settings:
• Line-In Source Name: Choose a name from the list.
• Line-In Source Level: A default (typical) line-in source level is automatically assigned for each source. If
the volume sounds too low, you can choose a higher line level. (You may experience clipping at higher
volume levels if you set the level too high.)
• Autoplay Room: Choose the room you want this line-in source to play in whenever it’s connected to
Sonos.
• Include Grouped Rooms: Turn on if you want the line-in source to play in rooms that are grouped with
the autoplay room.
• Use Autoplay Volume: Click the Use Autoplay Volume box if you want to use the external source to
adjust the volume in the autoplay room. Use the slider to set a default volume.
