Make sure the speaker is seated properly in the base and the charging contacts

Use a compatible USB-C charger.
Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. Here are a few guidelines:
· Move is made to give you powerful sound anywhere–auto Trueplay tuning
periodically balances the sound for wherever you are and whatever you’re
listening to. The microphone has to be on for automatic tuning so if you don’t
leave the microphone on all the time, turn it on for a few minutes whenever
you move your speaker so it can automatically adjust the sound for your new
surroundings.
· Move sounds great even when placed next to a wall or on a shelf. For best
performance, leave at least 1″ (2.5 cm) space around the back of the speaker.
· It’s ultra durable. With a tough outer shell and IP56 rating, Sonos Move is
built to withstand falls, bumps, moisture, dust, UV rays, and extreme
temperatures. Just don’t leave it out in a soaking rain storm, and remember
that the charging base that’s included is for indoor use only.
· Don’t use or store your Sonos Move upside down.
Auto Trueplay
You can put Sonos Move just about anywhere. Auto Trueplay tuning optimizes the
sound for wherever you are and whatever you’re listening to. Your speaker’s
microphone is used to detect the environment so auto Trueplay can make
periodic tuning adjustments to deliver the best sound.
If you don’t want the microphone on all the time, be sure to turn it on
whenever you move the speaker. Your Sonos Move starts retuning when you pick
it up, and continues to adjust the sound for a few minutes after you place it
in a new location.
Note: Auto Trueplay is disabled while you’re using Bluetooth.
SONOS USER GUIDE
Microphone on/off
The microphone is used for voice control, and for auto Trueplay tuning. Touch or off.
to turn the microphone on
When the microphone light is on,
· If you have a voice assistant, voice control is on and your voice assistant

automatically adjust its sound for your surroundings. When the microphone
light is off,
· If you have a voice assistant, voice control is off. · Auto Trueplay tuning
is disabled.
Switch modes
Set Move up on your WiFi, then use the mode switch on the back of Move to
switch between Bluetooth and WiFi. When you use Bluetooth for the first time,
you’ll need to pair Move with your mobile device. Once paired, they’ll
reconnect automatically next time.
Bluetooth pairing
1. Turn Bluetooth on in your mobile device settings. 2. Press the mode button
on the back of Move to switch it to Bluetooth. 3. Choose Move from the list of
available devices on your mobile device. If it’s not there, press and hold the
mode button and then choose Move from the list when it appears. Your mobile
device will automatically connect to Move next time.

Five
The high-fidelity speaker for superior sound–
· Three woofers provide deep bass within a sealed architecture that eliminates
reverb and echo. Two side tweeters create an ultra wide soundstage while a
center tweeter optimizes vocal playback.
· Use the line-in port to connect your turntable or another device–simple
control with the Sonos S2 app or Apple AirPlay 2.
· Versatile design with smart orientation sensing. Pair two speakers
horizontally and Five automatically separates the left and right channels for
impressive stereo sound. When paired vertically, each smartly adjusts to mono
for more detailed stereo separation and an even wider soundstage.
· Pair two Fives for left-right stereo sound or use two Fives as rear
surrounds for your home theater.
· Compatible with

You can put your speaker just about anywhere. For maximum performance, we have
a few guidelines:
· The Five is a substantial and powerful speaker and should be placed on a
flat surface that is robust and durable enough to properly support it. Make
sure Five’s rubber feet sit completely on the flat surface.
· Allow at least 2″ perimeter all around Five including its power cord. · For
a single Five speaker we recommend positioning the speaker horizontally to
enable stereo sound. · Place Five across the room from where you’ll be
listening (at or close to your ear height for best results). · For stereo pair
placement information, see Stereo pairs. · The Five 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.

What can you do with Amp?
Play music through your favorite speakers
Connect your favorite bookshelf, floor-standing, in-wall, or in-ceiling
speakers to Amp to stream all the music you love. Connect a turntable, stereo,
or portable music player and play the sound on any Sonos speaker.
Enhance your TV sound
Connect Amp to your TV to create the ultimate entertainment system. · Use Amp
and a pair of 3rd-party speakers to create two front audio channels. · Use Amp
with third-party speakers to add surround sound if you already have a Sonos
home theater speaker (Beam, Playbase, Playbar, or another Amp) connected to
your TV.
(For even deeper sound, add a Sonos Sub or connect a third-party subwoofer.)
See Connect Amp to your TV for setup information.
Select a location
You can place Amp just about anywhere– in an electronics rack, on a shelf, or
on a credenza with your TV.
Rack mounted
· Amp mounts perfectly in any electronics rack. · Place two Amps side by side
in a 2U rack. · Place four Amps in a 3U rack.
Placed on a credenza
· Place horizontally on a stable and level surface at least 3 in / 50 mm from
the TV. · Don’t block the TV’s IR sensor. · If put on a shelf, place at the
front and keep 3″ (minimum) clearance on all sides. · Don’t block the front of
Amp so you can reach the touch controls.
Connect the cables
Attach desired speakers
Your speakers’ power rating should be at least 125W for 8 ohm speakers, and at
least 200W for 4 ohm speakers. Do not connect speakers rated at less than 4
ohm.
Note: Amp can drive speakers with nominal impedance above 4 ohms. Two pairs of
8 ohm speakers wired in parallel are also supported. Don’t wire your speakers
in series because it will result in poor sound quality.
1. Remove the cap from the banana plug to reveal the connection hole. 2.
Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire into the hole, then return the cap
to the banana plug to secure
the connection.
Note: Connect the red (+) and black (-) terminals from each speaker to the
corresponding banana plug and terminal on Amp. Mismatching of polarities will
result in weak central sound and a distorted sense of sound direction.
SONOS USER GUIDE
3. Insert the banana plug into the proper speaker terminal on the back of
Amp. 4. Repeat to install the other speaker wires.
Connect the power cord
Attach the power cord and plug in Amp. You’ll use our app to set up and
control your Sonos system. If you don’t have the Sonos app, download it from
your app store. See Controls and lights.
Connect Amp to your TV
Use an HDMI cable to connect Amp to your TV. When connected, Amp creates two
front audio channels and plays your TV sound through your favorite non-Sonos
speakers.
Note: You may need the optical adapter too (the app lets you know). 1. Fully
insert the HDMI cable into Amp’s HDMI port. 2. Connect the HDMI cable to your
TV. You have two choices:
· If your TV has an HDMI ARC port, connect the HDMI cable directly to the TV’s
HDMI ARC port. · If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI ARC port, attach the optical
adapter to the HDMI cable and connect
it to the TV’s optical digital OUT port.
If your TV has an HDMI ARC port HDMI ARC is a special port that looks like a
standard HDMI port. Although they look the same, if you connect to a standard
HDMI port, you won’t hear sound. 1. On your TV’s audio OUT panel, locate the
HDMI ARC port.
It may be on the back or side of your TV. Look for the port with “ARC” on the
label.

SONOS USER GUIDE
1. Adjust your AVR or amplifier’s volume to your typical listening volume. 2.
Make sure the line-out level is set to Variable. If it’s not, you’ll need to
change it:
· Go to settings and choose Variable for the Line-Out Level. 3. Use the Sonos
app to adjust the volume so you can hear music on your Sonos system. It may
need to be
turned up fairly high. 4. Readjust the volume on your AVR or amplifier so it
falls within your typical listening range.
Use Sonos to control the volume on your home theater or amplifier
When Port’s line-out level is set to Pass-Through, Port stays at a fixed
volume and sends volume commands to your amplifier. You can control volume
using the Sonos app, a universal remote, or your voice if you have a voice
assistant enabled.
· Go to settings and choose Pass-Through for the Line-Out Level.
Note: Make sure your amplifier supports Pass-Through. If you set the line-out
level to Pass-Through and your amplifier doesn’t support it, you won’t be able
to control the volume.

Boost
For when existing WiFi isn’t reliable enough for streaming music– · Boost
broadcasts 360° signals through walls and ceilings for flawless coverage. ·
Streams without interference in the most challenging WiFi environments. ·
Bypasses your WiFi to create a separate high-performance wireless network just
for Sonos speakers.
· Works with either
or .
When to use a Boost
· Your WiFi is slow or temperamental, or your network is already in high
demand with streaming video, gaming, and internet usage.
· WiFi doesn’t reach all the rooms where you want to use Sonos. Extend the
range of your Sonos system by placing a Boost in between the Sonos speaker
that’s out of reach and the rest of the Sonos system.
· Your network is 5 GHz only (not switchable to 2.4 GHz). · Your router
supports only 802.11n (you can’t change the settings to support 802.11b/g/n).

Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. For maximum performance, we have
a few guidelines:
· The Play:5 is a substantial and powerful speaker and should be placed on a
flat surface that is robust and durable enough to properly support it. Make
sure the Play:5’s rubber feet sit completely on the flat surface.
· Allow at least 2″ perimeter all around the Play:5 including its power cord.
· For a single Play:5 speaker we recommend positioning the speaker
horizontally, enabling stereo sound
over a wide sound stage. (A single Play:5 speaker positioned in vertical mode
is a mono speaker–there is no stereo separation.) · Place the Play:5 across
the room from where you’ll be listening (at or close to your ear height for
best results). · For stereo pair placement information, see Stereo pairs. ·
The Play:5 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.

SONOS USER GUIDE
Rooms
Everyone in the house can listen to something different, or you can group
Sonos products together to play the same music. If you have a home theater
speaker, you can send the TV sound to other rooms, too.
Tap on a mobile device to see what’s playing in each room. To change what’s
playing, tap a room, and choose different content from Browse, Search, or My
Sonos.
Select to play the same music in more than one room. With the Sonos S2 app,
you can also save a group of rooms to easily select it again later.
If you’re near a speaker, press and hold the button to easily add the music
from another room. If different content is playing in different rooms, just
press and hold until you hear the sound you want.
Room Settings
You can customize Sonos products for your surroundings.
Trueplay EQ settings
Room name Status light

with the best sound for that room. Learn more

SONOS USER GUIDE
Turn off WiFi Line-In
You can turn off your speaker’s WiFi when it’s connected to your network with
an Ethernet cable. This reduces power consumption and can improve connectivity
for some wired speakers. For products like Amp, Connect, and Connect:Amp,
turning off WiFi can reduce the internal temperature
when they’re placed in a rack or stacked. Learn more
You can connect an audio device like a turntable, stereo, or MP3 player to a
Play:5, Amp, Connect, or
Connect:Amp and stream the audio to Sonos. Learn more
Stereo pairs
Pair two Sonos speakers in the same room for a wider, stereo experience. One
speaker serves as the left channel and one serves as the right channel.
Note: The Sonos speakers in a stereo pair must be the same type. Get more
information about stereo pairs.
