This may be at the high end of the volume scale.  
4. If desired, you can readjust the volume on your home theater system or amplifier so that  
the volume range for the Controller falls within your typical listening range.  
Connecting to a computer or powered speakers  
If you are connecting 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 Zone-  
Player’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 speak-  
ers 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.  
Using Line-In  
You can easily stream an external source such as a CD player or portable music player through  
your Sonos Digital Music System using the audio-in connections on your ZonePlayer. The device  
will be automatically detected as soon as you plug it in.  
1. Use a standard RCA cable to plug an external source like a CD player into the analog Audio  
In connections on the back of your ZonePlayer ZP80.  
If you are connecting a portable music player to the ZonePlayer ZP80, you will need a  
1/8 inch mini-stereo to RCA audio cable instead. Plug the mini-stereo end into the porta-  
ble device and the RCA end into the Audio In connection on the ZonePlayer.  
2. Choose one of the following options:  
From the Sonos Controller, select Line-In Sources from the Music menu. Click Setup to  
select a source name for this device. Once setup is complete, simply select Line-In  
Sources from the Music menu, and touch Play any time youwant to play music from this  
device.  
From the Desktop Controller software, select the Line-In tab from the Music Library.  
Select Edit Name to select a source name for this device. Once setup is complete, simply  
select Line-In Sources from the Music Library, and press Play Now any time you want  
to play music from this device.  
 
9
Sonos ZonePlayer ZP80 Setup Guide  
A default (typical) line-in level is automatically assigned when you select a source name. If the  
volume sounds too low, you can select a higher line level for this device. You may experience  
clipping at higher volume levels if you set the level too high.  
Line-in encoding settings  
When you have line-in music sources attached to a ZonePlayer, line-in encoding determines  
how the Sonos Digital Music System will encode the data coming in from these sources. For  
multi-room audio, we recommend using the Compressed setting. For the highest quality sound,  
you can select Uncompressed encoding, but this selection requires more network bandwidth  
than compressed audio. For TV or DVD audio, we recommend using the Uncompressed setting.  
Note: You will notice a delay when a line-in source is in use. When the  
Uncompressed encoding setting is selected, this delay is significantly reduced.  
Adding More Sonos Components  
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 www.sonos.com/support.  
Add a ZonePlayer  
You can connect the ZonePlayer ZP80 using a wired or a wireless connection.  
1. Connect to an external amplifier and plug in your ZonePlayer.  
2. Choose one of the following options:  
Using the Sonos Controller, select System SettingsAdd a ZonePlayer from the Music  
menu.  
Using the Desktop Controller software, select ZonesSet Up ZonesAdd.

ZonePlayer not detected during setup  
A network problem may be preventing the ZonePlayer from associating with the Desktop  
Controller software. If this is a wireless ZonePlayer, try moving the ZonePlayers closer together, or  
wire the ZonePlayer temporarily to see if the problem is related to wireless interference.  
If you encounter this message when installing the first wired ZonePlayer, you can try the steps  
below to resolve this issue:  
1. Check the firewall  
Firewall software installed on the computer may be blocking the ports that Sonos uses to  
operate. First, disable all your firewalls and try to connect again. If this resolves the problem, then  
you should configure your firewall to work with the Sonos music system. You can go to our  
Website at http://faq.sonos.com/firewall for additional information. If this does not resolve the  
problem, you can try step 2.  
 
13  
Sonos ZonePlayer ZP80 Setup Guide  
2. Check the router  
You can bypass your router’s switch to determine whether there are any router configuration  
issues (note that the ZonePlayer and the computer still have Internet access in this  
configuration):  
Be sure that your cable/DSL modem is connected to the router’s WAN (Internet) port.  
Temporarily remove any other components that are wired to your network.  
Connect an Ethernet cable from the computer directly to the back of the ZonePlayer, and  
then connect another Ethernet cable from the ZonePlayer directly to one of the LAN  
ports on your router.  
When you make a change to your network configuration, you may need to power cycle  
the ZonePlayer by unplugging the power cord, and then plugging it back in.  
If you are not using a router, see http://faq.sonos.com/norouter.  
3. Check the wiring  
Check the link/activity lights on both the router and the ZonePlayer. They should be green, and  
there should be blinking activity lights.  
If the green link lights are not lit, try connecting to a different port.  
If the link lights still do not light, try connecting a different Ethernet cable.  
If you are still experiencing problems, please contact the Sonos Customer Service Center.  
 
14  
Sonos ZonePlayer ZP80 Setup Guide  
When adding the handheld Sonos Controller, it fails to detect the  
ZonePlayer(s)  
Wireless interference or a network problem may be preventing the Controller from joining your  
Sonos Digital Music System.  
1. Verify that this is not a DHCP or network problem.  
Disconnect the Ethernet cables from the back of the ZonePlayer so that it is not connect-  
ed to your network.  
Unplug the ZonePlayer's power cord and then plug it back in.  
Once the status indicator light stops blinking white, try adding your Controller again.  
If it works, your router's DHCP server may have run out of available IP addresses to assign to the  
Controller. In most cases you can log into your router by typing http://192.168.1.1 into your  
browser’s address line (the IP address of your router may be different). Check the DHCP settings  
and increase the number of IP addresses available in the DHCP scope.  
If your Controller still does not recognize the ZonePlayer after completing this step, you can try  
step 2.  
2. Turn off any 2.4GHz cordless phones.  
Some 2.4GHz cordless telephones can cause wireless interference. If turning off your 2.4GHz  
cordless phone resolves the problem, you should consider switching to a 5.8Ghz or 900Mhz  
phone (or change the wireless channel your Sonos system is operating on - see step 4 below.)  
3. Put 108 Mbps wireless routers into 54 Mbps mode.  
Sonos cannot function properly when a router is operating in "turbo" mode. In order to double  
the speed from 54 Mbps to 108 Mbps, the router goes into a wide bandwidth mode which  
utilizes most of the 2.4 GHz spectrum that the FCC has set aside for 802.11b/g devices. This  
means that interference (RF noise) will occur with any other 2.4 GHz device that is not operating  
on the same channel as the 108 Mbps device (usually channel 6). While it is possible to put all of  
your wireless devices on channel 6, it is unwise. The devices will have to compete for available  
bandwidth, and your entire Wi-Fi network will become sluggish and bogged down.  
4. Change the wireless channel your Sonos system is operating on.  
Using the Desktop Controller software for Windows: From the File menu, select Prefer-  
ences. Click the Advanced tab, and then select another wireless channel from the Wire-  
less Channel list.  
Using the Desktop Controller software for Macintosh: From the Sonos menu, select Pref-  
erences. Click the Advanced tab, and then select another wireless channel from the  
Wireless Channel list.  
It may take several seconds for the switch to take effect. If you have music playing, a short music  
dropout will occur during the wireless channel change.
