Overview
The Sonos Controller for Mac or PC
• Lets you control all your music and rooms from any desktop or laptop computer in your house.
• The Setup CD is included with most Sonos components so you can turn any or all of your computers into multi-room
music controllers for free.
• Insert the CD and let the software quickly guide you through setup and music sharing.
Your Home Network
To access Internet music services, Internet radio, and any digital music stored on your computer or Network-Attached
Storage (NAS) device, your home network must meet the following requirements:
Home network requirements
• High-speed DSL/Cable modem, or fiber-to-the-home broadband connection for proper playback of Internet-based mu-
sic services. (If your Internet service provider only offers Satellite Internet access, you may experience playback issues
due to fluctuating download rates.)
• If your modem is not a modem/router combination and you want to take advantage of Sonos' automatic online up-
dates, or stream music from an Internet-based music service, you must install a router in your home network. If you
do not have a router, purchase and install one before proceeding.
• If you are going to use a Sonos controller application on an Android™ smartphone, iPhone®, iPod Touch®, iPad® or other
tablet, you may need a wireless router in your home network. Please visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/apps
for more information.
• Connect at least one Sonos component to your home network router using an Ethernet cable, and then you can add
other Sonos components wirelessly.
• For best results, you should connect the computer or NAS drive that contains your personal music library collection to
your home network router using an Ethernet cable.
System requirements
• 500 MHz processor or better
• 128 MB RAM minimum/256 MB RAM recommended
• Network hardware as described above
