Chapter 2: System Setup

Using Line-in
You can play music from an external line-in source such as a CD player, portable music
player, or television that is connected to your Sonos Digital Music System. This audio
can be streamed to any ZonePlayer(s) in your house. So, connect your CD player to the
Sonos Digital Music System and listen to the CDs you haven’t had a chance to rip to
your music library, or connect to your TV and listen to the football game on the patio
while cooking on the grill.
Connecting a music source
• Use a standard RCA cable to plug the external source into the analog Audio In
connections on the back of your ZonePlayer. The source device will automatical-
ly be detected.
• To connect a portable player to the ZonePlayer, you will need a 1/8 inch mini-ste-
reo to RCA audio cable. Plug the mini-stereo end into the portable device and
the RCA end into the Audio In connection on the ZonePlayer.
Note: You can listen to music from the external device in any zone, and use the
Sonos Digital Music System to control the volume settings. However you must
control the playback (forward, pause, etc.) from the line-in source. If you have
Compressed encoding selected, you will notice a delay before the music starts to
play.
