Problem Solution
The ZonePlayer does not 
operate properly. 
•  Check to ensure that the ZonePlayer Status indicator 
on the front of the ZonePlayer is illuminated and solid 
white.
•  Check to ensure that the green link light is lit on the 
Ethernet switch on the rear panel of the ZonePlayer 
that is wired into your network. 
•  Move the Controller closer to the ZonePlayer.
•  Check to ensure there are no obstacles to impede 
wireless operation.
•  The ZonePlayer may need to be reset. Disconnect the 
power cord for 5 seconds and then reconnect. Wait for 
the ZonePlayer to restart.
•  If none of these work, the ZonePlayer may need to be 
factory reset. Disconnect power and then reconnect 
while pressing and holding the Mute button until the 
amber light begins to flash. 
Note: You should not factory reset all of your ZonePlayers at 
once or all preferences and playlists will be lost.
