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.
Line-in encoding settings
When you have line-in music sources attached to a Sonos product, line-in encoding determines how Sonos
will encode the data coming in from these sources. Your Sonos system defaults to automatic in order to
provide the optimal playback experience. Sonos recommends you don’t change this default. However, if you
decide to make a change, we recommend the following usage guidelines:
