1. If you have digital inputs on your home theater receiver, you can use either a TOSLINK optical
audio cable or a digital coaxial cable to connect the ZonePlayer ZP80’s digital output to the
digital input on your receiver.
If you have analog inputs on your home theater receiver, use a standard RCA audio cable to
connect the ZonePlayer ZP80’s analog audio output to the audio inputs on your receiver.
2. Select the proper input channel on your home theater system.
Controlling the volume from your home theater

Player Settings, and use the scroll wheel to highlight the ZonePlayer attached to your
home theater. Select Line-Out Level, and choose Fixed.
• Using the Desktop Controller software, select Set Up Zones from the Zones menu. Select
the ZonePlayer attached to your home theater, and then click Settings. Click the Line-
Out tab, and choose Fixed.

Player Settings, and use the scroll wheel to highlight the ZonePlayer attached to your
home theater. Select Line-Out Level, and choose Variable.
• Using the Desktop Controller software, select Set Up Zones from the Zones menu. Select
the ZonePlayer attached to your home theater, and then click Settings. Click the Line-
