Chapter 2: ZonePlayer Setup and Operation

Adding More ZonePlayers

After your Sonos Digital Music System is up and running, you can add more
ZonePlayers to your Sonos Digital Music System any time. Decide upon the best
locations for your additional ZonePlayers. If your house has structured (built-in) wiring,
you can make a wired connection to the additional ZonePlayers. If you don't have
structured wiring, our built-in wireless technology is ideal for you.
Caution Do not place any items on top of your ZonePlayer. This may impede the air
flow and cause your ZonePlayer to overheat.
When and why should I use a wireless connection?
The Sonos Digital Music system uses a built-in wireless connection to communicate
between the various ZonePlayers. You can place ZonePlayers anywhere you wish
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 change
the location of your ZonePlayer at any time.
Use wireless connections when:
• You do not want to install network cables
• You may want to move the location of the ZonePlayer
• There is enough signal strength for the ZonePlayer to transmit and receive data
reliably
Note: Thick walls, microwave ovens, and the presence of other wireless devices can
interfere with or block the wireless network signals from your Sonos Digital Music
System. 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. For more information on wireless connections, go to http://
