Using Line-In

You can connect an external source such as a CD player, portable music player, or television to
your Sonos Multi-Room Music System. The device will be automatically detected as soon as you
plug it in.
1. Use a standard RCA cable to plug an external source like a CD player into the analog Audio
In connections on the back of your ZonePlayer 120.
• If you are connecting a portable player to the ZonePlayer 120, you will need a 1/8 inch
mini-stereo to RCA audio cable instead. Plug the mini-stereo end into the portable device
and the RCA end into the Audio In connection on the ZonePlayer.
2. Choose one of the following options:
• Using the Sonos Controller, select Line-In Sources from the Music menu. Select Edit
Name to select a source name for this device. Once setup is complete, simply select
Line-In Sources from the Music menu, and touch Play any time you want to play music
from this device.
• Using the Desktop Controller software, select the Line-In tab from the Music Library.
Click Set Up and then select the Line-In tab to choose a source name and line-in level for
this device. Once setup is complete, simply select Line-In Sources from the Music Li-
brary, and press Play Now any time you want to play music from this device.
A default (typical) line-in level is automatically assigned when you select a source name. If the
volume sounds too low, you can select a higher line level for this device. You may experience
clipping at higher volume levels if you set the level too high.
You may use a standard RCA audio cable to connect the
ZonePlayer's analog audio inputs to the audio outputs
from a separate audio component, such as a CD player or
a portable music player.
You may connect a powered subwoofer to this output
using a standard RCA cable. The system will detect when a
cable is connected to the subwoofer output and adjust
the crossover frequency automatically.
