Using Line-in

You can connect an external source such as a CD player, portable music player, or
television to your Sonos Multi-Room Music System, and this audio can be streamed
to any ZonePlayer(s) in your house. So, connect your CD player to the Sonos Multi-
Room Music System and listen to the CDs you haven't had a chance to rip to your
music library, or connect to your TV and listen to the game on the patio while
cooking on the grill.
Note: You can listen to music from the external device in any zone, and use
the Sonos Multi-Room Music System to control the volume settings. However
you must control the playback (forward, pause, etc.) from the line-in source. If
you have Compressed encoding selected, you will notice a delay before the
music starts to play.
Connecting a music source
• Use a standard RCA cable to plug the external source into the analog Audio In
connections on the back of your ZonePlayer. The source device will automati-
cally be detected.
• To connect a portable player to the ZonePlayer, 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 ZonePlayer.
