Sonos PLAY:5

Using Line-In

You can connect an external source, such as a portable music player, to your PLAY:5. The device will be
automatically detected as soon as you plug it in.
• To connect to a portable music player, use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo audio cable to connect from the
audio output on the device to the PLAY:5's audio input.
• To connect another external source, such as a CD player, you can use a 1/8" (3.5mm) mini-stereo to RCA
audio cable. Plug the mini-stereo end into the PLAY:5, and plug the RCA end into the audio outputs on
the external device.
