Using Line-Out - Sonos ZonePlayer ZP100 Product Manual

Sonos ZP100

Using Line-Out

You can easily connect your home theater, stereo, or powered speakers to a ZP100.
To connect to a home theater
If you have analog inputs on your receiver, use a standard RCA audio cable to connect the ZP100's analog audio output to the
audio inputs on your home theater receiver. Select the proper input channel on your home theater system.
Line-out level setting
If you want to control the volume exclusively from your home theater, change the line-out level on this ZP100 to Fixed.
(When the line-out level is set to Variable, you can use the Sonos Controller to control the volume on the line-out
connection.)
To change the line-out level setting, choose one of the following options:
• Using the Sonos Controller, from the Music menu, select System Settings. Select Room Settings, and use the scroll
wheel to highlight the Sonos component attached to your home theater. Select Line-Out Level, and choose Fixed.
• Using the Desktop Controller software, select Set Up Rooms from the Rooms menu. Select the ZP100 attached to your
home theater, and then click Settings. Click the Line-Out tab, and choose Fixed.
Important: When you change the line-out level to Fixed on a Sonos player, you will
not be able to adjust the volume or the equalization settings using your Sonos
Controller.
To connect to your computer
You will need a stereo mini to RCA Y-adapter audio cable (one 1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to
connect the ZP100's analog audio output to the computer's audio input.
To connect to powered speakers
You may need a Y-adapter audio cable (one 1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect the
computer's speakers to the audio outputs on the Sonos player. If your speakers have a male 1/8-inch stereo plug, you can
use a Y-adapter audio cable (one 1/8-inch Female connector to dual RCA male connectors).
