Chapter 2: ZonePlayer Setup and Operation
2-7
Step 2: Install software
If your operating system is Macintosh® OS X, Windows Vista™ or Windows® XP, simply 
insert the Sonos System Setup CD-ROM and follow the on-screen instructions to install 
the software, configure your music system, and set up access to your music files.
• If you have a different operating system, you can set up your music system using 
the Sonos Controller instead. See "System Setup Using the Controller". You can 
also go to http://faq.sonos.com/nodcr for setup assistance. 
• If you only have a NAS device without a router, see "Setup with a NAS Device (no 
router)". 
Step 3: Add Controller
Plug your Sonos Controller into the power adapter and follow the prompts on the 
Controller’s screen to add it to your music system. You can use the Controller while it is 
charging.
Note: Firewall software such as Norton Internet Security™, McAfee™ Personal 
Firewall, Windows® Firewall, or Mac OS X built-in firewall, can block the operation of 
your Sonos Desktop Controller software. During installation, you may see prompts 
from your firewall software indicating that the Sonos application is attempting to 
perform certain operations. You should always allow full access to the Sonos 
Desktop Controller. You may also need to change the settings of your firewall 
software to ensure that Windows file sharing is not blocked. Please go to our Web 
site at http://faq.sonos.com/firewall for detailed instructions.
