Adding to an Existing Sonos System

Once you’ve got your Sonos system set up, you can easily add more Sonos products any time (up to 32). 

1. Select a location for your PLAY:5 (see Selecting a Location for optimal placement guidelines.)

2. Attach the power cord to the PLAY:5 and apply power. Be sure to push the power cord firmly into the unit.

   Note:If you want to make a wired connection, connect a standard Ethernet cable from your router or another Sonos product (or a live network wall plate if you have built-in wiring) to an Ethernet switch connection on the back of the new Sonos product.

3. Choose one of the following options:

• Using a handheld Sonos controller: Select Add a Player or SUB from the Settings menu and follow the on-screen prompts to add this product to your Sonos system.

• Using the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC: Select Add a Player or SUB from the Manage menu and follow the prompts to add this product to your Sonos system.

Thick walls, 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, or the presence of other wireless devices can interfere with or block the wireless network signals from your Sonos system. If you experience difficulty after positioning a Sonos product, try one or more of the following resolutions—relocate the Sonos product; change the wireless channel your music system is operating on; connect a Sonos product to your router if your setup is currently wireless.
