Connecting Line-In Sources
You can play music from an external source device such as a CD player or a portable
music player that is connected to your Sonos Digital Music System. This audio can be
streamed to any ZonePlayer(s) in your house.
1. Use a standard RCA cable to plug the external source into the analog Audio In
connections on the back of your ZonePlayer. The source device will automatically
be detected.
2. From the Music Library pane, select the Line-In tab. You will see the component
displayed.
3. To play music from this source, highlight the audio component, and click Play
Now.
4. To change the component name or the line-in level, select the audio component,
and click Set Up to display the ZonePlayer Settings screen.
5. From the Line-in tab, select an audio component type from the Source Type list.
Note: You can listen to music from an external device in any zone, and use the
Sonos Digital Music System to control the volume settings. However, you must
control the playback (forward, pause, etc.) from the line-in source. If you have
Compressed encoding selected, you will notice a slight delay before the music
starts to play.

To connect a portable player to
the ZonePlayer:
Use a 3.5mm mini-stereo to RCA
cable. Plug the mini-stereo end into
the portable device, and the RCA
end into the Audio In connection
on the ZonePlayer.
