Selecting a Location
You can position the PLAY:5 wherever you find the sound most enjoyable. For maximum performance, we have a few
guidelines:
• The PLAY:5 is designed to sound best when placed 3 to 12 inches (8-30 cm) from a wall.
• Place the PLAY:5 across the room from where you will be listening.
• Don’t block the acoustic port when in use.
• Care should be taken if placing the PLAY:5 close to an older CRT (cathode ray tube) television or computer monitor. If
you notice any discoloration or distortion of your picture quality, simply move the PLAY:5 further from the device.
• The PLAY:5 is not water-resistant. Don’t leave it outside during a rain storm or position it near water.
Adding to an Existing Sonos System
Once you’ve got your Sonos system set up, you can easily add more Sonos products any time (up to 32).
1. Select a location for your PLAY:5 (see "Selecting a Location" for optimal placement guidelines.)
2. Attach the power cord to the PLAY:5 and apply power. Be sure to push the power cord firmly into the unit.
Note: If you want to make a wired connection, connect a standard Ethernet cable from your
router or another Sonos product (or a live network wall plate if you have built-in wiring) to an
Ethernet switch connection on the back of the new Sonos product.

Choose one of the following options:
• Using a handheld Sonos controller: Select Add a Player or SUB from the Settings menu and follow the on-screen
prompts to add this product to your Sonos system.
• Using the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC: Select Add a Player or SUB from the Manage menu and follow the prompts
to add this product to your Sonos system.
Thick walls, 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, or the presence of
other wireless devices can interfere with or block the wireless
network signals from your Sonos system. If you experience difficulty after positioning a Sonos product, try one or more of the
following resolutions—relocate the Sonos product; change the wireless channel your music system is operating on; connect
a Sonos product to your router if your setup is currently wireless.
