Selecting a Location

You can locate a SONOS PLAY:1 just about anywhere. For maximum enjoyment, we have a few guidelines:
• The PLAY:1 is designed to work well even when placed next to a wall or other surface. For optimum performance,
maintaining more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) clearance around the back of the unit is recommended.
• Care should be taken if placing the PLAY:1 close to an older CRT (cathode ray tube) television. If you notice any
discoloration or distortion of your picture quality, simply move the PLAY:1 further from the television.
• The PLAY:1 is humidity-resistant so you can use it in the bathroom; however it is not water-resistant so don't position
it near water or leave it outside during a rain storm.

Wall Mounting

The SONOS PLAY:1 has a standard 1/4"-20 threaded mounting socket. If desired, you can easily wall mount your PLAY:1 using
a suitable mounting bracket (not included). Simply choose a location that's close to an electrical outlet (power cord length is
2m), taking care to avoid heat, steam, dripping water or hidden wiring, and follow the instructions included with the wall
mount kit.
Note: Be sure the wall mount bracket you purchase will support at least 8lbs. (3.6 kgs) and
has a 1/4 inch -20 threaded post.

Adding to an Existing Sonos System

Once you've got your Sonos music system set up, you can easily add more Sonos components any time (up to 32 rooms).
