Using Line-out

You can easily connect your home theater, stereo, or powered speakers to a ZonePlayer. Depending on your ZonePlayer model, you
can use analog or digital audio outputs to connect to an external amplifier. The ZonePlayer 90 has both digital and analog outputs,
while the ZonePlayer 100 has analog outputs. The ZonePlayer 120 is not designed with audio outputs.
For additional information on connecting audio devices, you can go to our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/cables.

either a TOSLINK® optical audio cable or a digital coaxial cable to connect the ZonePlayer's digital output to the digital
input on your home theater receiver.

to the audio inputs on your home theater receiver.
Select the proper input channel on your home theater system.
