Renaming A Zoneplayer - Sonos Digital Music System User Manual

Add a Controller
You should charge your new Sonos Controller when you remove it from the packaging.
Plug it into the power adapter, and then follow the Controller's on-screen prompts to
add it to your music system (you can use the Controller while it is charging.)
When and why should I use a wireless connection?
The Sonos Digital Music system uses a built-in wireless connection to communicate
between ZonePlayers. You can place ZonePlayers anywhere without physically
connecting them to your computer network, as long as they are within transmitting
range (up to 100 ft. depending upon your home's layout). This means that you do not
need to go to the effort of installing cables, and you can relocate your ZonePlayer(s)
easily.
Note: Thick walls, 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, or the presence of other wireless
devices can interfere with or block the wireless network signals from your Sonos
Digital Music System. Once you locate your ZonePlayer, if you are experiencing
difficulty, it is advisable to relocate the ZonePlayer, change the wireless channel your
music system is operating on, or make a wired connection (Ethernet cable) either
from your router to the ZonePlayer, or from one ZonePlayer to another. If you are
having trouble placing your units within wireless range of each other, you can go to
our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/range for more information.
Use wireless connections when:
• You do not want to install network cables
• You may want to move the ZonePlayer
• There is enough signal strength for the ZonePlayer to transmit and receive data
reliably
