Sonos ZonePlayer ZP80 Setup Guide

3. Use the Sonos Controller to adjust the volume on your Sonos system so you can hear music.

This may be at the high end of the volume scale.

4. If desired, you can readjust the volume on your home theater system so that the volume

range for the Controller falls within your typical listening range.

Connecting to a Computer

1. If you are connecting Line-out to your computer: You will need a stereo mini to RCA Y-adapter

audio cable (one 1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect the

ZonePlayer’s analog audio output to the computer’s audio input.

If you are connecting to powered speakers: You may need a Y-adapter audio cable (one

1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect the computer’s speakers

to the audio outputs on the ZonePlayer. If your speakers have a male 1/8-inch stereo plug,

you will need to attach a female-to-female coupler between the speaker plug and the Y-

adapter audio cable.

Add a Controller

You should charge your new Sonos Controller when you remove it from the packaging. Plug it

into the power adapter, and then follow the Controller’s on-screen prompts to add it to your

music system (you can use the Controller while it is charging.)

Note: Thick walls, 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, and the presence of other wireless

devices can interfere with or block the wireless network signals from your Sonos Digital

Music System. If you are experiencing difficulty, it is advisable to relocate the ZonePlayer,

change the wireless channel your music system is operating on, or make a wired

connection (Ethernet cable) either from your router to the ZonePlayer, or from one

ZonePlayer to another. For more information on wireless connections, go to
