2-6 If you are connecting a ZonePlayer 80 Chapter 2: ZonePlayer Setup and Operation Note: If you are replacing the wired ZonePlayer in an existing Sonos Digital Music System with a ZonePlayer 80, first add the new ZonePlayer 80 to your music system. You can then unplug the wired ZonePlayer, replace it with the ZonePlayer 80, and move the original ZonePlayer to a new location. Once you have connected the ZonePlayer to your home network, follow the steps below to connect to an external amplifier: 1. Attach the power cord and plug in the ZonePlayer 80. The Mute button indicator and the ZonePlayer Status indicator will begin to flash. (If this ZonePlayer was previously connected to another Sonos Digital Music System, the ZonePlayer Status indicator may light solid white instead.) 2. Connect your ZonePlayer 80 to an external amplifier by choosing one of the following options: Connect to a home theater or amplifier • If you have digital inputs on your home theater or amplifier, you can use either a TOSLINK optical audio cable or a digital coaxial cable to connect the ZonePlayer 80's digital output to the digital input on the receiver. • If you have analog inputs on your home theater or amplifier, use a standard RCA audio cable to connect a ZonePlayer's analog audio output to the audio inputs on the receiver. • Select the proper input channel on the receiver. • After you finish setting up your Sonos system, go to "Using Line-out" to adjust the volume settings. Connect to a computer or powered speakers • 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. • You may need a Y-adapter audio cable (one1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect the 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.

2-6

If you are connecting a ZonePlayer 80

Once you have connected the ZonePlayer to your home network, follow the steps

below to connect to an external amplifier:

Attach the power cord and plug in the ZonePlayer 80.

The

Mute

button indicator and the

ZonePlayer Status

indicator will begin to flash.

(If this ZonePlayer was previously connected to another Sonos Digital Music System,

the ZonePlayer Status indicator may light solid white instead.)

Connect your ZonePlayer 80 to an external amplifier by choosing one of the

following options:

Connect to a home theater or amplifier

•

If you have digital inputs on your home theater or amplifier, you can use either a

TOSLINK optical audio cable or a digital coaxial cable to connect the ZonePlayer

80’s digital output to the digital input on the receiver.

•

If you have analog inputs on your home theater or amplifier, use a standard RCA

audio cable to connect a ZonePlayer’s analog audio output to the audio inputs

on the receiver.

•

Select the proper input channel on the receiver.

•

After you finish setting up your Sonos system, go to "Using Line-out" to adjust

the volume settings.

Connect to a computer or powered speakers

•

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 au-

dio output to the computer’s audio input.

•

You may need a Y-adapter audio cable (one1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual

RCA male connectors) to connect the 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.

Note:

If you are replacing the

wired

ZonePlayer in an existing Sonos Digital Music

System with a ZonePlayer 80, first add the new ZonePlayer 80 to your music system.

move the original ZonePlayer to a new location.
