Step 1: Set Up Speakers/Apply Power
1
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 to the ZonePlayer 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.)
2 Step 2: Connect First ZonePlayer ZP100
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from an open port on your router to any of the four (4)
Ethernet switch connectors on the back of your ZonePlayer (see A in the diagram
below).
• If your modem is currently plugged into the only network interface connector
on your computer, you should install a standard router before continuing. If you
don't have a router, go to http://faq.sonos.com/norouter for instructions.
Or,
• If you have structured (built-in) wiring that connects to a router located else-
where in your home, you can connect the Ethernet cable from a live wall plate
into one of the four Ethernet switch connectors on the back of your ZonePlayer

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.
