Chapter 7: Sonos Controller for PC

Software Updates

Sonos provides software updates for your music system in order to improve
performance and add features. Your music system must be registered in order to
receive these software updates. If you have not yet registered, see "System
Registration" on page 1-5.
There are two options available:
• Periodically check for updates. An alert will appear when you start the Sonos
Controller for PC software indicating that an update is available.
• Do not check for updates.
Setting software update preferences
From the File menu, select Preferences.
1.
Click the Updates tab.
2.
Select the desired setting from the Software Update Notifications section.
3.
Downloading software updates
From the Help menu, select Check for Updates.
1.
If there are updates available, click Update Now to download.
2.
• Your ZonePlayers, as well as your Sonos Controller for PC, will be updated as
Sonos components must carry the same software version number. This pro-
cess may take several minutes per device, depending upon your network con-
nection. The Sonos Controller for PC will automatically close and then re-
open during the update process.
• Software updates to a handheld Sonos Controller must be initiated from that
Controller, so if you have recently updated the Sonos Controller for PC soft-
ware, you will be prompted to update your other Sonos Controllers the next
time you use them. Simply follow the Controller's on-screen prompts.
• If your software is up to date, the message "Your Sonos Multi-Room Music
System is up to date. No updates are required" will appear instead.
Caution: Do not disconnect power from your ZonePlayer(s), or in any way
disable your Sonos Multi-Room Music System while this process is running.
Contact Sonos Customer Support if an error occurs.
