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, go to 

www.sonos.com/support 

for help with this step.

Setting software update preferences

There are two options available: 

• Periodically check for updates. When there is a software update available, the 

Update Now

 

 icon appears on the 

SONOS

 music menu.

• Do not check for updates.

Updating your Sonos products

Update Now!

 

 icon appears on the 

Music 

menu.

• Tap the 

Update Now! 

icon to begin the update process.

• Your Sonos products will all be updated, as they must carry the same software version number. This process may 

take several minutes per product, depending upon your network connection. 

• One or more products may need to be updated later if you purchase a new product with a later software version, or 

if you plug in a product that was not in use when you performed your last software update.

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

Updating your Sonos Controller App

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