About the Sonos ZoneBridge
Use a ZoneBridge to connect the Sonos Digital Music System to your home network—
or if you want to set up a music zone in an area that lies beyond your current range, you
can use a ZoneBridge to extend the wireless range of your Sonos Digital Music System.
Where to Begin
Already have Sonos?
If you are adding this ZoneBridge to an existing Sonos music system, you can turn
directly to page 4 for installation instructions.
New to Sonos?
Unpack your Sonos components, and then simply follow the setup instructions in
sequential order to ensure that you set up your Sonos® Digital Music System correctly.
See "Network requirements" on page 3 to make sure your home network is ready for
Sonos, and then turn to page 6 for installation instructions.

Your Computer Network
To play the digital music files stored on your computer, your computer network must
meet the following requirements:
Network requirements
• DSL/cable modem, or LAN-based, high-speed Internet connection.
• If you currently have a cable or DSL modem connected directly to your comput-
er, you should install a router between your modem and your computer to
enhance your computer’s security, and to share the Internet connection with the
Sonos Digital Music System and other devices. If you do not have a router, you
should purchase and install one before proceeding.
Compatible operating systems
•Windows Vista™
• Windows® XP, including Windows® XP Media Center
•Macintosh® OS X
Please visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/specs for the latest system
requirements.
Note: Your network must have a high-speed Internet connection, as the
Sonos Digital Music System is designed to provide you with online
software updates. Your Sonos system must be registered in order to
receive updates, so be sure to register during the setup process. We do
not share your e-mail address with other companies.

Adding To EXISTING Sonos System
If you are adding this ZoneBridge to an existing Sonos system, please follow the steps
below. If you are setting up a new Sonos Digital Music System, please turn to page 6
instead.
Use a Sonos ZoneBridge to replace the ZonePlayer™ that is currently wired to your
home network, or place a ZoneBridge in any location to extend the wireless range of
your Sonos Digital Music System.
Attach the power adapter and plug in the ZoneBridge. Be sure it is the proper
power adapter for your country.
If you are making a wired connection, connect a standard Ethernet cable. If you
are making a wireless connection, skip this step and continue.
Insert the System Setup CD-ROM packaged with your ZoneBridge, and follow
the prompts to update your Sonos system.
Choose one of the following options:
•Use the Desktop Controller software to add the ZoneBridge to your music system
by selecting Add a ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge from the Zones menu.
Important: If you are replacing the wired ZonePlayer in your music
system with a Sonos ZoneBridge, first add the new ZoneBridge to your
music system (steps below). You can then unplug the wired ZonePlayer,
replace it with the Sonos ZoneBridge, and move the original ZonePlayer
to a new location.

Adding More Sonos Components
Once you’ve set up your ZoneBridge, you can easily add more components any time. If
your house has structured (built-in) wiring, you can make a wired connection to
additional ZonePlayers or ZoneBridges. If you don’t have structured wiring, our built-in
wireless technology is ideal for you.
Add a ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge
1. Choose one of the following options:
• If you are adding an amplified ZonePlayer, attach desired speakers.
• If you are adding a ZonePlayer 80, connect an external amplifier.
• If you are adding a ZoneBridge, attach the power adapter.
Note: Thick walls, 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, and the presence of
other wireless devices can interfere with the wireless network signals
from your Sonos Digital Music System. If you are experiencing difficulty, it
is advisable to relocate the Sonos component, change the wireless
channel your music system is operating on, or make a wired connection
(Ethernet cable) either from your router to the ZoneBridge, or from one
ZonePlayer to another (see page 13.) If you are having trouble placing
your units within wireless range of each other, visit our Web site at
http://faq.sonos.com/range.
Note: For detailed ZonePlayer setup instructions, refer to the ZonePlayer
Setup Guide packaged with your ZonePlayer, or go to Sonos System
Help, the online help system included with your Desktop Controller
software.

2. If you are making a wired connection, connect a standard Ethernet cable from your
router, another ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge, or a live network wall plate to one of the
Ethernet switch connections on the back of the new Sonos component. If you are
making a wireless connection, skip this step.
3. Attach the power cable (if you haven’t already done so) and apply power.
4. Choose one of the following options:
•Using the Sonos Controller, select System Settings→Add a ZonePlayer or
ZoneBridge from the Music menu.
•Using the Desktop Controller software, select Add a ZonePlayer or
ZoneBridge from the Zones menu.

packaged with your ZoneBridge, insert that CD-ROM and follow the prompts to set up
your ZoneBridge.
If that is not the problem, a network issue may be preventing the ZoneBridge from

closer to a ZonePlayer, or wire the ZoneBridge temporarily to see if the problem is
related to wireless interference.
If you encounter this message when installing the first Sonos component, (wired to your
router), you can try the steps below to resolve this issue.
1. Check the firewall
Firewall software installed on the computer may be blocking the ports that Sonos uses
to operate. First, disable all your firewalls and try to connect again. If this resolves the
problem, you should configure your firewall to work with the Sonos Desktop Controller.
Please visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/firewall for additional information. If
this does not resolve the problem, you can try step 2 below.
2. Check the router
You can bypass your router’s switch to determine whether there are any router
configuration issues (note that the ZoneBridge and the computer still have Internet
access in this configuration):

• Be sure that your cable/DSL modem is connected to the router’s WAN (Internet)
port.
• Temporarily remove any other components that are wired to your network.
• Connect an Ethernet cable from the computer directly to the back of the Zone-
Bridge, and then connect another Ethernet cable from the ZoneBridge directly
to one of the LAN ports on your router.
• When you make a change to your network configuration, you may need to pow-
er cycle the ZoneBridge by unplugging the power cord, and then plugging it
back in.
•If you are not using a router, visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/norouter
for more information.
