Line-out
You can easily connect your home theater, stereo, or powered speakers to a CONNECT. Depending on the model, you can use
analog or digital audio outputs to connect to an external amplifier. The SONOS CONNECT has both digital and analog outputs,
while the ZonePlayer 100 has analog outputs. The SONOS CONNECT:AMP is not designed with audio outputs.
