Using Line-In

You can connect an external source like a portable music player to any Sonos player that has a line-in
connection. The source will be automatically detected as soon as you plug it in.
To a portable music player: Use a 1/8 inch mini-stereo to RCA audio cable—plug the mini-stereo end into
the portable device and the RCA end into the Audio In connection on the Sonos player.
To an external source like a CD player: Plug a standard RCA cable into the analog Audio In connections on
the back of your Sonos player.
