Step 2: Place the ZonePlayers in the rooms of your choice
Place the ZonePlayers in the rooms of your choice. If you are setting up a ZonePlayer
100, attach the speakers. If you are setting up a ZonePlayer 80, connect it to an external
amplifier.
If you are connecting a ZonePlayer 100
Your speaker's power rating should be at least 75W for 8 Ohm speakers, and at least
150W for 4 Ohm speakers. Do not connect speakers rated at less than 4 Ohms.
Note: Connect the red (+) and black (-) terminals from each speaker to the
corresponding terminals on the ZonePlayer. Mismatching of polarities will result in
weak central sound, and a distorted sense of sound direction.
1. When making connections, ensure that none of the strands of your speaker wire
come in contact with an adjoining terminal on the rear panel.
4. Repeat to install the other speaker wires.
5. Attach the power cord and plug into a wall outlet.
The Mute button indicator and the ZonePlayer Status indicator will begin to flash.
(If this ZonePlayer was previously connected to another Sonos Digital Music System,
the ZonePlayer Status indicator may light solid white instead.)
If you are connecting a ZonePlayer 80
Note: If you are replacing the wired ZonePlayer in an existing Sonos Digital Music
System with a ZonePlayer 80, first add the new ZonePlayer 80 to your music system.
You can then unplug the wired ZonePlayer, replace it with the ZonePlayer 80, and
move the original ZonePlayer to a new location.
1. Attach the power cord and plug in the ZonePlayer 80.
2. Use your thumb or finger to firmly push the spring-
loaded speaker connector post inward to reveal the
connection hole.
3. Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire into the
hole, then release. The stripped portion should be caught
firmly in the connector post.
