Sonos PLAY:1
The PLAY:1
®
is the newest, most compact Sonos wireless speaker that lets you use any Sonos controller to
control and enjoy all the music you want all over your home (see The Sonos App for more information).
• Two custom-designed drivers, 3.5 in / 9 cm mid-woofer a
nd tweeter, each with a dedicated amplifier.
• Play/Pause functionality remembers the
last thing you were listening to. You can even skip to the next
track with a double press.
• Pair two PLAY:1s for amazing stereo sound or use two PLA
Y:1s as rear speakers for your Sonos
PLAYBAR
®
home theater system.
• Works seamlessly with the complete
range of Sonos products.
New to Sonos?
It takes just a few steps to get your Sonos system up and running—simply follow the setup instructions
packaged with your PLAY:1. Once you’ve got it set up, you can add additional Sonos products any time.
Adding to an existing Sonos system?
Sonos can be easily expanded room by room. If you are adding a PLAY:1 to an existing Sonos system, see
Adding to an Existing Sonos System for more information.
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:
Product Guide
2
Home network requirements
Note: Your network must have a high-speed Internet connection, as the Sonos
system is designed to provide you with free, 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 the Sonos app on an Android™ or iOS device, or you are setting up Sonos wirelessly, you will need
a wireless router.
Note: Sonos communicates over a 2.4GHz home network supporting 802.11
b/g/n wireless technology. 5GHz networks are not supported in a completely
wir
eless Sonos setup.
• Connect a Sonos BRIDGE, BOOST™ or player to your router if:
• You have a larger home where the WiFi performance isn’t
reliable and you want to strengthen the
wireless performance of your Sonos system.
• Your WiFi network is already in high demand with streaming video and web surfing and you
want to
create a separate wireless network exclusively for your Sonos speakers.
• Your home network is 5GHz only (not switchable to 2.4GHz).
• For best results, you should connect the computer or NAS driv
e that contains your personal music library
collection to your home network router using an Ethernet cable.
The Sonos App
You can use the free Sonos app with any compatible device, including:
• Sonos app
(Android)—Android 2.2 and higher; certain features require later versions. (Standard wireless
setup is only supported on Android 2.3 or 4.0 and higher.)
Touch t h e Play Stor
e or Market button on your Android device to download the free Sonos app from
Google Play.
• Sonos app (iOS)—iPh
one, iPad and iPod touch running iOS 7.0 or later; certain features may require
later versions.
Touch t h e Ap
p Store button on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to download the free Sonos app, or
download the application from iTunes
®
. (If you download from iTunes, you will need to sync before you
see the Sonos logo display on your device.)
• Sonos app (PC)—Windows® XP SP3 and higher; certain features require later versions. (Standard
wireless setup is only supported on Windows 7 and higher.)

minimal electricity whenever it is not playing music. To quickly stop
streaming audio in all rooms, select Pause All from the Rooms menu.
To stop streaming audio in one room, press the Play/Pause button on
the player.
Play/Pause button Toggles between playing and pausing the audio in this room (defaults to
r
estarting the same music source when pressed unless a different

Selecting a Location
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 pla
ced 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 (cathode ray tube) 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-r
esistant 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 Sonos PLAY:1 has a standard 1/4”-20 threaded mounting socket. 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 (power cord length is 2m), taking care to avoid heat, steam, dripping water or hidden wiring,
and follow the instructions included with the wall mount kit. You can hang it right side up (control buttons on
top) or upside down (control buttons on the bottom).
Note: Be sure the wall mount bracket you purchase will support at least 8lbs. (3.6
kgs) and has a 1/4”-20 threaded post.
Adding to an Existing Sonos System
Once you’ve got your Sonos music system set up, you can easily add more Sonos products any time (up to
32).
1. Select a location for your PLAY:1 (see Selecting a Location above for optimal placement guidelines.)
Volume up (+)
Volume down (–)
Press these buttons to adjust the volume up and down.
Threaded mounting hole
1/4 inch /
20-thread
The 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 for more information.
Ethernet port You can use an Ethernet cable (supplied) to connect the PLAY:1 to a
r
outer, computer, or additional network device such as a network-
attached storage (NAS) device.
AC power (mains) input
(100 – 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz)
Use only the supplied power cord to connect to a power outlet (using a
thi
rd-party power cord will void your warranty).
Insert the power cord firmly into the PLAY:1 until it is flush with the
bott
om of the unit.
Sonos PLAY:1

2. Attach the power cord to the 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 product (or a live network wall plate if you have
built-in wiring) to an Ethernet port on the back of the PLAY:1.
3.
Choose one of the following options:
• Using a handheld Sonos controller: Select A
dd 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 app for Mac or PC: Select Ad
d 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.
Tune Your Room with Trueplay
™
While you can locate Sonos speakers just about anywhere, the size and shape of your room and the objects in
it can distort your speaker’s sound. To ensure a speaker sounds right no matter where you place it, Sonos
speakers include Trueplay. If you have an iPhone (4S or later), iPad, or iPod Touch running iOS7 or later, you
can use Trueplay tuning to make every Sonos speaker sound right for the room and true to the music.
Sonos uses your iOS device’s microphone to measure ac
oustic distortion in the room and then Trueplay
adapts your Sonos speaker’s sound for its position in the room.
1. Select Settings -> Room Settings.
2. Select the room your speaker is located in.
3. Select Trueplay Tuning and follow the on-screen prompts.
Note: Trueplay tuning is not available if VoiceOver is enabled on your iOS device. If
you want to tune your speakers, first turn VoiceOver off on your device and then
select Settings -> Room Settings from the Sonos app.
Creating a Stereo Pair
The stereo pair setting allows you to group two PLAY:1s, PLAY:3s or PLAY:5®s 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 products in the stereo pair must be the
same.
Product Guide
6
Optimum placement information
• When creating a stereo pair, it is best to place the two Sonos products 8 to 10 feet away from each other.
• Your favorite listening position should be 8 to 12 feet fr
om the paired Sonos products. Less distance will
increase bass, more distance will improve stereo imaging.
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 products in the stereo
pair must be the same.
Using the Sonos app on a mobile device
1. Select Settings -> Room Settings.
2. Select a PLAY:1 to pair.
3. Select Create Stereo Pair, and follow the prompts to set up the stereo pair.
To separate a stereo pair:
1. Select Settings -> Room Settings.
2. Select the stereo pair you wish to separate (the stereo pair appears with L + R in the room name.)
3. Select Separate Stereo Pair.

• Using your PC, select Settings fr
om the Manage menu.
• Using your Mac, select P
references -> Room Settings from the Sonos menu.
2. Select a PLAY:1 you want to pair from the Room Settings for drop-down list.

right surround channels in your Sonos surround sound experience. You can either configure surround
speakers during the setup process, or follow the steps below to add them.
• Make sure the Sonos products are the same—you cannot combine a PLAY:1 and a PLAY:3 to function
as su
rround speakers.
• Be sure to follow these instructions to set up your surr
ound speakers. Do not create a room group or
stereo pair as these will not achieve the left and right surround channel functionality.

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
