Sonos ZonePlayer ZP80 Setup Guide
Controlling the volume from your Sonos system
1. Adjust your home theater system's volume to typical listening volume.
2. By factory default, the line-out level for a ZonePlayer ZP80 is set to Variable. If the line-out
level on this ZonePlayer is not currently set to Variable, you will need to change it:
• Using the Sonos Controller, from the Music menu, select System Settings. Select Zone-
Player Settings, and use the scroll wheel to highlight the ZonePlayer attached to your
home theater. Select Line-Out Level, and choose Variable.
• Using the Desktop Controller software, select Set Up Zones from the Zones menu. Select
the ZonePlayer attached to your home theater, and then click Settings. Click the Line-
Out tab, and choose Variable.
3. Use the Sonos Controller to adjust the volume on your Sonos system so you can hear music.
This may be at the high end of the volume scale.
4. If desired, you can readjust the volume on your home theater system so that the volume
range for the Controller falls within your typical listening range.
Connecting to a Computer or Powered Speakers
• If you are connecting Line-out to your computer: You will need a stereo mini to RCA Y-adapt-
er audio cable (one 1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect
the ZonePlayer's analog audio output to the computer's audio input.
• If you are connecting to powered speakers: You may need a Y-adapter audio cable (one
1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect the computer's speak-
ers to the audio outputs on the ZonePlayer. If your speakers have a male 1/8-inch stereo
plug, you will need to attach a female-to-female coupler between the speaker plug and
the Y-adapter audio cable.
