Product Guide
Your Home Network
To access Internet music services, Internet radio, and any digital music stored on your computer or Network-Attached
Storage (NAS) device, your home network must meet the following requirements:
Home network requirements
Note: Your network must have a high-speed Internet connection, as the Sonos system is
designed to provide you with online software updates. Your Sonos system must be registered
to receive these updates, so be sure to register during the setup process. We do not share
your e-mail address with other companies.
• High-speed DSL/Cable modem, or fiber-to-the-home broadband connection for proper playback of Internet-based
music services. (If your Internet service provider only offers Satellite Internet access, you may experience playback
issues due to fluctuating download rates.)
• If your modem is not a modem/router combination and you want to take advantage of Sonos' automatic online
updates, or stream music from an Internet-based music service, you must install a router in your home network. If
you do not have a router, purchase and install one before proceeding.
• If you are going to use a Sonos application on an Android™ smartphone, iPhone®, iPod Touch®, iPad® or other tablet,
you may need a wireless router in your home network. For more information, please visit our Web site at
http://faq.sonos.com/apps.
• Connect at least one Sonos component to your home network router using an Ethernet cable, and then you can add
other Sonos components wirelessly.
• For best results, you should connect the computer or NAS drive that contains your personal music library collection to
your home network router using an Ethernet cable.

Product Guide
Threaded mounting hole
1/4 inch (6.75mm) /
20-thread
The SONOS PLAY:1 has an integrated mounting hole on the back of the unit so it can be
wall-mounted if desired (mounting bracket not included.) See "Wall Mounting the PLAY:1"
on page 4 for more information.
Ethernet switch connector
Use Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect to a router, computer, or additional network
device such as a network-attached storage (NAS) device.
AC power (mains) input
(~100-240 V, 50-60 Hz)
Use the supplied power cord to connect to a power outlet.
Insert the power cord firmly into the PLAY:1 until it is flush with the bottom of the unit.
Selecting a Location for Your PLAY:1
You can locate a SONOS PLAY:1 just about anywhere. For maximum enjoyment, we have a few guidelines:
• The PLAY:1 is designed to work well even when placed next to a wall or other surface. For optimum performance,
maintaining more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) clearance around the back of the unit is recommended.
• Care should be taken if placing the PLAY:1 close to an older CRT television. If you notice any discoloration or
distortion of your picture quality, simply move the PLAY:1 further from the television.
• The PLAY:1 is humidity-resistant so you can use it in the bathroom; however it is not water-resistant so don’t position
it near water or leave it outside during a rain storm.
Wall Mounting the PLAY:1
The SONOS PLAY:1 has a 1/4 inch (6.75mm) integrated, threaded (20 threads per inch) mounting hole. If desired, you can
easily wall mount your PLAY:1 using a suitable mounting bracket (not included). Simply choose a location that’s close to an
electrical outlet, taking care to avoid heat, steam, dripping water or hidden wiring, and follow the instructions included with
the wall mount kit.
Note: Be sure the wall mount bracket you purchase will support at least 10lbs. (4.5 kgs).
SONOS PLAY:1
Adding to an Existing Sonos System
Once you’ve got your Sonos music system set up, you can easily add more Sonos components any time (up to 32 rooms).
1. Select a location for your SONOS PLAY:1 (see "Selecting a Location for Your PLAY:1" on page 4 for optimal placement
guidelines.)
2. Attach the power cord to the SONOS PLAY:1, and apply power. Be sure to push the power cord firmly into the bottom of
the PLAY:1 until it is flush with the bottom of the unit.
Note: If you want to make a wired connection, connect a standard Ethernet cable
from your router or another Sonos component (or a live network wall plate if you have
built-in wiring) to an Ethernet switch connection on the back of the new Sonos
component.
3. Choose one of the following options:
• Using a handheld Sonos controller: Select Add a Sonos Component from the Settings menu and follow the on-screen
prompts to add this component to your Sonos system.
• Using the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC: Select Add a Sonos Component from the Manage menu and follow the
prompts to add this component to your Sonos system.
Creating a Stereo Pair
The Stereo Pair setting allows you to group two PLAY:1s, PLAY:3s or PLAY:5s in the same room to create a wider stereo
experience. In this configuration, one unit serves as the left channel and the other serves as the right channel. You cannot
create a mixed stereo pair—the Sonos components in the stereo pair must be the same.
Optimum placement information
• When creating a stereo pair, it is best to place the two Sonos components 8 to 10 feet away from each other.
• Your favorite listening position should be 8 to 12 feet from the paired Sonos components. Less distance will increase
bass, more distance will improve stereo imaging.
6

Note: The Stereo Pair setting is for use with PLAY:1, PLAY:3 and PLAY:5 units only. You cannot
create a mixed stereo pair—both Sonos components in the stereo pair must be the same.

[music service], and then follow the prompts to activate the music trial. After the trial period is up, you will need to
subscribe to the music service to keep the music playing.
Local music library
The Sonos system can play music from any computer or network-attached storage (NAS) device on your home network
where you have shared music folders. During the setup process, you are guided through the process of accessing your local
music library (such as your iTunes library). Over time, you may wish to add or remove folders from this list.
To make changes to your local music library, select the Settings menu from a handheld Sonos controller and then choose
one of the following options:
• To add a new music folder to Sonos, select Manage Music Library -> Music Library Setup -> Add New Share.
• To remove a music folder, select Manage Music Library -> Music Library Setup. Touch the share you wish to remove
and then select Remove Share.
10
Product Guide
The Sonos system indexes your local music so you can view your music collection by categories (such as artists, albums,
composers, genres, or tracks.) If you add new music, simply update your music index to add this music to your Sonos music
library.
• To update your music index, select Manage Music Library -> Update Music Index Now. If you’d like your music index
to update automatically each day, select Schedule Music Index Updates and then select a music index update time.
Wireless iTunes playback
You can select and play music and podcasts stored on any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch that’s on the same network as your
Sonos components. Playback is perfectly synchronized, in any or every room of your home. Simply use your iPad, iPhone, or
iPod touch to make audio selections and then you can use any Sonos controller to control playback.

Basic Troubleshooting
Note: Do not open the device as there is a risk of electric shock. Under no circumstances
should the product be repaired by anyone other than an authorized Sonos repair center, as
this will invalidate the warranty. Please contact Sonos Customer Support for more
information.
If a problem occurs, you can try the troubleshooting suggestions listed below. If one of these doesn’t remedy the problem, or
you are not sure how to proceed, please contact the Sonos Customer Support team and we’ll be happy to help.
SONOS PLAY:1 not detected during setup
A network issue may be preventing the PLAY:1 from connecting to your Sonos system. If this is a wireless PLAY:1, try moving
the Sonos components closer together, or wire the PLAY:1 temporarily to see if the problem is related to wireless
interference.
If you encounter this message while a Sonos component is connected to your router, you can try the steps below to resolve
this issue. If you are still experiencing problems, please contact Sonos Customer Support.
1. Check the firewall
If you are using a computer, firewall software 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
Controller for Mac or PC. Please go to 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 by connecting a BRIDGE
(or other Sonos component) as depicted in the following illustration (note that the BRIDGE and the computer still have
Internet access in this configuration):
12
Product Guide
• 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 Sonos component, and then connect another
Ethernet cable from the Sonos component directly to one of the LAN ports on your router.
• When you make a change to your network configuration, you may need to power cycle the Sonos component by
unplugging the power cord, and then plugging it back in.
• If you are not using a router, you can visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/norouter for more information.
3. Check the wiring
Check the link/activity lights on both the router and the Sonos component. The link lights should be lit solid and the activity
lights should be blinking.
• If the link lights are not lit, try connecting to a different port on your router.
• If the link lights still do not light, try connecting a different Ethernet cable.
Not all rooms are visible
You are probably experiencing wireless interference. Change the wireless channel your Sonos system is operating on by
following the steps below.
• Using a handheld Sonos controller: From the Settings menu, touch Advanced Settings, and then Wireless Channel.
Choose another wireless channel from the list.
• Using the Sonos Controller for PC: Select Settings -> Advanced Settings from the Manage menu. On the General tab,
select another wireless channel from the list.
• Using the Sonos Controller for Mac: Select Preferences -> Advanced Settings from the Sonos menu. On the General
tab, select another wireless channel from the list.
It may take several seconds for the switch to take effect. If you have music playing, a short music dropout may occur during
the wireless channel change.
