Managing Zones

What Are Zones?

A zone is just another word for a room in your house—Sonos lets you enjoy music in
up to 32 rooms, inside or out. We call them zones because you can group rooms
together to play the same song in every room, or you can listen to different songs in
every room. This means you can group the kitchen and the patio together while
barbecuing, link all the rooms in the house together for a party, or leave all the rooms
unlinked and let the kids can enjoy rap in their rooms while you listen to jazz in your
office.
Zones can be managed from any Sonos Controller. Use the Zones menu to:
• Select a zone to play some music in
• See the music that's currently playing in every room
• Link zones together to form a zone group
• Drop a zone from a zone group
Music will continue to play while you browse. The current zone is highlighted on your
screen, and the music selections you make will play in that zone.

Zone Groups

A zone can be grouped together with any other zone(s) to form a zone group. This
will cause all the zones in the zone group to play the same music in synchrony. You
can link or drop zones from a group while the music is playing. You can also link all
the ZonePlayers in your house with one touch by selecting All Zones-Party Mode.
