Where to Begin
New to Sonos?
It takes just a few steps to get your Sonos Multi-Room Music System up and running.
See page 4 to make sure your home network is ready for Sonos, and then turn to the
Setup Instructions packaged with your ZonePlayer S5. Once you’ve set up your music
system, you can add additional Sonos components any time.
Adding to an existing Sonos system?
The Sonos Multi-Room Music System can be easily expanded room by room. If you
are adding this ZonePlayer S5 to an existing Sonos system, you can turn directly to
page 12.
Note: If you don’t plan to listen to music in the room where your
broadband router is located, you can connect a Sonos ZoneBridge™
(purchased separately) to your router to activate the SonosNet™
wireless mesh network, and place the ZonePlayer S5 wherever you
want to listen to music.

Your Computer Network
To play the digital music files stored on your computer, your computer network must
meet the following requirements:
Network requirements
• DSL/cable modem, or LAN-based, high-speed Internet connection.
• If you currently have a cable or DSL modem connected directly to your
computer, you should install a router between your modem and your
computer to enhance your computer’s security, and to share the Internet
connection with your Sonos Multi-Room Music System and other devices. If
you do not have a router, you should purchase and install one before
proceeding.
• If you are going to use the Sonos Controller for iPhone application (for
iPhone or iPod touch), you will need a wireless router in your home
network.
Compatible operating systems
• Windows® XP and higher
•Macintosh®OSX
Note: Your network must have a high-speed Internet connection, as
the Sonos Multi-Room Music 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.

Selecting a location for your S5
You can position the Sonos ZonePlayer S5 wherever you find the sound most
enjoyable. Its compact size and inset handle make it easy to place the ZonePlayer S5
on the kitchen counter, or carry it out to the patio with you. For maximum
performance, we have a few guidelines:
• The ZonePlayer S5 is designed to sound best when placed 3 to 12 inches
(8-30 cm) from a wall.
• Place the ZonePlayer S5 across the room from where you will be listening.
• Don’t block the acoustic port when in use.
• Locate the ZonePlayer S5 at least 12 inches (30 cm) from a television,
computer, or other monitor to avoid the possibility of picture quality
interference.
• The ZonePlayer S5 is not water-resistant. Don’t leave it outside during a rain
storm or position it near water.

Adding to an Existing Sonos System
Once you’ve got your Sonos Multi-Room Music System set up, you can easily add
more Sonos components any time (up to 32 zones).
If your house has structured (built-in) wiring, you can make a wired connection to the
additional ZonePlayers. If you don’t have structured wiring, our built-in wireless
technology is ideal for you.

guidelines.)
2. Attach the power cord to the ZonePlayer S5, and apply power.
3. If you are making a wireless connection, skip this step and continue on to step 4.
If you are making a wired connection, connect a standard Ethernet cable from
your router or another ZonePlayer (or a live network wall plate if you have built-in
wiring) to one of the Ethernet switch connections on the back of the new Sonos
component.
4. Choose one of the following options:
•UsingtheSonos Controller 200 or Sonos Controller for iPhone, select
Settings→Add a Zone from the Music Menu and follow the on-screen
prompts to add this component to your Sonos Multi-Room Music System.

attached storage (NAS) device on your home network where you have shared music
folders. During the Sonos setup process, you are guided through the process of
accessing your shared music folders (such as your iTunes library.) Over time, you may

headphone jack is auto detecting—plug in a pair of headphones and the ZonePlayer’s
built-in speakers automatically mute. When you unplug the headphones, the speakers
automatically come back on.

screen of a Sonos Controller.

drop the volume level down to 25%.)

ZonePlayer not detected during setup
A network or a firewall issue may be preventing the ZonePlayer from connecting to
your Sonos system. 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 Sonos component (wired to
your router), you can try the steps below to resolve this issue. If you are still
experiencing problems, please contact Sonos Customer Support.
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, you should configure your firewall to work with the Sonos Controller for Mac
or PC. Please go to our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/firewall for additional
information. If this does not resolve the problem, you can try step 2 below.
2. Check the router
You can bypass your router’s switch to determine whether there are any router
configuration issues by connecting Sonos as depicted in the following illustration (note
that the ZoneBridge and the computer still have Internet access in this configuration):
