Adding to an Existing Sonos System
For help adding a component to your Sonos Multi-Room music system, you can go
directly to:
• "Add a ZoneBridge" on page 2-14
• "Add a ZonePlayer" on page 2-15
• "Add a Sonos Controller" on page 2-16
• "Add an iPhone or iPod touch" on page 2-17
When and why should I use a wireless connection?
The Sonos Multi-Room Music System uses a built-in wireless connection to
communicate between Sonos components. This means ZonePlayers can be placed
anywhere in and around your home and connect wirelessly when a wired Ethernet
connection is not available.
Use wireless connections when:
• You don’t want to install network cables
• You may want to move the ZonePlayer
• There is enough wireless signal strength for the ZonePlayer to function reliably
Note:
Thick walls, 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, or the presence of other
wireless devices can interfere with or block the wireless network signals from
your Sonos Multi-Room Music System. Once you locate your ZonePlayer, if you
are experiencing difficulty, you can try one (or more) of the following resolutions
— relocate the ZonePlayer, change the wireless channel your music system is
operating on (see page A-4), or make a wired connection by connecting an
Ethernet cable from your router to the ZonePlayer, or from one ZonePlayer to
another.
If you are still having trouble placing your units within wireless range of each
other, you can go to our Web site at
