Setting Up a New Sonos System

Step 1: Connect one Sonos component to your router

Note: Which Sonos component should I connect to my broadband router? 

If you want to listen to music in this room:

- Connect a ZonePlayer 120 with your choice of speakers 
- Connect a ZonePlayer 90 with an external amplifier or powered speakers 
- Connect a ZonePlayer S5 (which has built-in speakers)

If you don't plan to listen to music in this room, you can connect a Sonos ZoneBridge to your
router instead.
Connect an Ethernet cable (supplied) from any of the Ethernet switch connectors on the back of a ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge to an
open port on your router. Do not connect the Sonos component directly to your cable or DSL modem unless your modem has a
built-in router.
• The first Sonos component you install must connect to your home network using an Ethernet cable. If you only have a wireless
network, for assistance, go to http://faq.sonos.com/wireless.
• If you have structured (built-in) wiring that connects to a router located elsewhere in your home, you can connect from a live
wall plate to any of the Ethernet switch connectors on the back of a Sonos component.
