The Wireless HiFi System Manual

The SONOS CONNECT:AMP
The SONOS CONNECT:AMP (formerly ZonePlayer 120) includes a built-in state-of-the-art digital amplifier that can power large
or small speakers, allowing you to enjoy superior audio quality in every room.
• Includes a multi-port Ethernet switch to enable direct connections to routers, computers, or other Sonos components.
• Includes analog audio inputs with digital encoding so that music from an external audio source (such as a CD player or
portable MP3 player), can be connected to one CONNECT:AMP and played by all the other Sonos components in your
system.
New to Sonos?
It takes just a few steps to get your Sonos system up and running. The steps below are fully explained in the Quick Start
Guide packaged with your CONNECT:AMP —
• Connect one Sonos component (BRIDGE, CONNECT:AMP, PLAY:3, PLAY:5, CONNECT) to your broadband router using an
Ethernet cable (supplied).
• Place other Sonos components in the rooms of your choice.
• Install the software and follow the prompts to add the Sonos components and set up access to your music files.
• Add a Sonos controller to your music system.
See "Your Home Network" on page 1 to make sure your home network is ready for Sonos, and then pick up the Quick Start
Guide packaged with your CONNECT:AMP to follow the installation instructions. Once you’ve set up your music system, you
can add additional Sonos components any time.
Adding to an existing Sonos system?
Sonos can be easily expanded room by room. If you are adding this CONNECT:AMP to an existing Sonos system, you can turn
directly to "Adding to an Existing Sonos System" on page 5.
Your Home Network
To play the digital music files stored on your computer, your computer network must meet the following requirements:
Network requirements
• High-speed DSL/cable modem, or fiber-to-the-home broadband connection for proper playback of Internet-based mu-
sic services. (If your Internet service provider only offers Satellite Internet access, you may experience playback issues
due to fluctuating download rates.)
• If your modem is not a modem/router combination and you want to take advantage of Sonos' automatic online up-
dates, or stream music from an Internet-based music service, you must install a router in your home network. If you
do not have a router, purchase and install one before proceeding.
Important: Your network must have a high-speed Internet connection, as Sonos is designed
to provide you with online software updates. Your Sonos system must be registered to receive
these updates, so be sure to register during the setup process. We do not share your e-mail
address with other companies.
