SONOS USER GUIDE
Placed on a credenza
• Place horizontally on a stable and level surface.
• If you put it on a shelf, for best performance place it at the front and leave at least 2" space all around.
Connect the cables
Connect the power cord
Attach the power cord and plug in your Port.
If you're connecting to powered speakers
You may need a Y-adapter audio cable (one 1/8" stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect
powered speakers to the audio outputs on the Sonos product. If your speakers have a male 1/8" stereo plug,
you'll need to attach a female-to-female coupler between the speaker plug and the Y-adapter audio cable.
If you don't have the Sonos app, download it from the app store on your mobile device. You'll use it to set up
and control your Sonos system.
If you're connecting to an audio/video receiver (AVR) or amplifier
• If you have digital inputs on your AVR or amplifier, you can use a digital coaxial cable to connect Port's
digital output to the digital input on the receiver.
• If you have analog inputs on your AVR or amplifier, use a standard RCA audio cable to connect Port's
analog audio output to the audio inputs on the receiver.
• Select the proper input channel on the receiver. See Control volume from your AVR or amplifier to
adjust volume settings.
If you don't have the app, download it from the app store on your mobile device. You'll use it to set up and
control your Sonos system.
If you're connecting to a computer
You'll need a stereo mini to RCA Y-adapter audio cable (one 1/8" stereo miniplug to dual RCA male
connectors) to connect from Port's analog audio output to your computer's audio input.
If you don't have the app, download it from the app store on your mobile device. You'll use it to set up and
control your Sonos system.
Line-in
Connect an external source like a phono preamp (your turntable may have a built-in phone preamp), or other
audio device. Learn more.
Line-out
Control volume from your AVR or amplifier (Fixed line-out level)
Set Port's line-out level to Fixed if you want to control the volume exclusively from your AVR or amplifier. You
won't be able to use the Sonos app to adjust the volume or equalization settings.
Go to settings and choose Fixed for the Line-Out Level.
Control the volume from Sonos (Variable line-out level)
When Port's line-out level is set to Variable, you can use the Sonos app to adjust the volume.
