Online Updates

Sonos periodically provides you with software updates to improve performance or to add new features. Your Sonos system 
must be registered to receive updates. If you have not yet registered, see "System Registration" on page 2-12.

Updating your Sonos components

When there is an update available, the 

Update Now!

 

 icon appears on the 

Music 

menu.

• Touch the 

Update Now! 

icon to begin the update process.

• Your Sonos components

 

will all be updated, as they must carry the same software version number. This process 

may take several minutes per component, depending upon your network connection. 

• One or more components may need to be updated later if you purchase a new component with a later software ver-

sion, or if you plug in a component that was not in use when you performed your last software update.

• If you have another Sonos controller, you will be prompted to update it the next time you use it.

Updating your Sonos controller

Update the Sonos Controller for iPad app by downloading the latest Sonos software from the App Store.

service trials. At no time is any of your information provided to other companies.
