System Setup
New to Sonos?
It takes just a few steps to get your Sonos Wireless HiFi System up and running. See "Your Home Network" on page 1-1 to
make sure your home network is ready for Sonos, and then refer to the Quick Start Guide packaged with your Sonos
component or go to "Setting Up a New Sonos System" on page 2-1 for installation instructions.
Follow the setup instructions in sequential order to ensure you set up your Sonos Wireless HiFi System correctly.
Already have Sonos?
If you are adding components to an existing Sonos system, see "Adding to an Existing Sonos System" on page 2-6.
Setting Up a New Sonos System
Step 1: Connect one Sonos component to your router
Connect an Ethernet cable (supplied) from an Ethernet switch connector on the back of the Sonos component to an open
port on your router. Do not connect the Sonos component directly to your cable or DSL modem unless your modem has a
built-in router.
(If you have structured (built-in) network wiring that connects to a router located elsewhere in your home, you can connect
from a live wall plate to the Ethernet switch connector on the back of your Sonos component.)
Note: Which Sonos component should I connect to my broadband router?
If you don’t plan to listen to music in this room:
- Connect a SONOS BRIDGE to your router
If you want to listen to music in this room:
- Connect a SONOS PLAY:5 or PLAY:3 (which have built-in speakers)
- Connect a SONOS CONNECT:AMP with your choice of speakers
- Connect a SONOS CONNECT with an external amplifier or powered speakers
