Set Up Speakers and Apply Power
Follow the directions below to connect your speakers to the Sonos ZonePlayer ZP100.
Your speaker’s power rating should be at least 75W for 8 Ohm speakers and at least
150W for 4 Ohm speakers. Do not connect speakers rated at less than 4 Ohms.
To install speaker wire into the connector posts
1. When making connections, ensure that none of the strands of your speaker wire
come in contact with an adjoining terminal on the rear panel.
2. Use your thumb or finger to firmly push the spring-loaded speaker connector post
inward to reveal the connection hole.
3. Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire into the hole,
then release. The stripped portion should be caught firmly
in the connector post.
4. Repeat to install the other speaker wires.
5. Attach the power cord to the ZonePlayer and plug into a wall outlet.
The Mute button indicator (green) and the ZonePlayer Status indicator (white) will
begin to flash. (If this ZonePlayer was previously connected to another Sonos Digital
Music System, the ZonePlayer Status indicator may light solid white instead.)
Analog audio inputs 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.
Subwoofer output
Note: If you disconnect your
subwoofer, make sure to also
disconnect the subwoofer’s cable
from the ZonePlayer output.
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.
Note: Be sure to connect the red ( + ) and black ( - ) terminals from each speaker to
the corresponding terminals on the ZonePlayer. Mismatching of polarities will result
in weak central sound, and a distorted sense of sound direction.
