Chapter 10: The Sonos® Controller 100

Online Updates

Sonos periodically provides you with software updates to improve performance or to add new features. Your music system must be
registered in order to receive updates. If you have not yet registered, see "System Registration" on page 1-2.
Checking for updates
From the Music menu, select System Settings>Online Updates and press OK.
1.
If there is an update available, select Yes to begin the update process.
2.
• Your ZonePlayers and Controllers will all be updated, as your Sonos components must carry the same software version num-
ber. This process may take several minutes per device, depending upon your network connection.
• If you have the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC installed, you will be prompted to update it the next time you start the ap-
plication.
Caution: Do not disconnect power from your ZonePlayer(s), or in any way disable your Sonos
Multi-Room Music System while this process is running. Contact Sonos Customer Support if an
error occurs.
Auto check for software updates
Sonos can automatically check your system for available software updates. Your music system must be registered in order to
receive updates. Change your preference by following the steps below.
From the Music menu, select System Settings.
1.
Select Advanced Settings>Auto Check for Software Updates.
2.
Select On to turn auto checking on, or Off to turn auto checking off, and then click OK (On is the default setting.)
Controller software updates
In the event that your Controller's software version gets out of sync from the rest of your Sonos Multi-Room Music System
components, you will see a message displayed on your Controller screen the next time you use it.
This Controller will be unavailable for use until you perform a software update to bring the Controller up to date. This situation will
occur if you perform a software update from another Controller, or from the Sonos Controller for PC software.
ZonePlayer software updates
If a ZonePlayer's software version gets out of sync from the rest of your Sonos Multi-Room Music System components, you will see
a message displayed on your Zones menu.
