Sonos Play 5 User Guide - Page 4

2 Your Home Network User Guide To access Internet music services, Internet radio, and any digital music stored on your computer or Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device, your home network must meet the following requirements: Network requirements Note: Your network must have a high-speed Internet connection, as the Sonos system is designed to provide you with online software updates. Your Sonos system must be registered to receive these updates, so be sure to register during the setup process. We do not share your e-mail address with other companies. • High-speed DSL/Cable modem, or fiber-to-the-home broadband connection for proper playback of Internet-based music services. (If your Internet service provider only offers Satellite Internet access, you may experience playback issues due to fluctuating download rates.) • If your modem is not a modem/router combination and you want to take advantage of Sonos' automatic online updates, or stream music from an Internet-based music service, you must install a router in your home network. If you do not have a router, purchase and install one before proceeding. • If you are going to use a Sonos application on an Android™ smartphone, iPhone®, iPod Touch®, iPad® or other tablet, you may need a wireless router in your home network. Please visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/apps for more information. • Connect at least one Sonos component to your home network router using an Ethernet cable, and then you can add other Sonos components wirelessly. • For best results, you should connect the computer or NAS drive that contains your personal music library collection to your home network router using an Ethernet cable. Compatible operating systems • Windows® XP and higher • Macintosh® OS X Note: Please visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/specs for the latest system requirements, including supported operating system versions.
