Charge Move

Charging base
AC power Charging contacts

· Just set Move on the charging base for easy recharging–no extra wires or cables needed.
· Charging base is for indoor use only–be sure to keep it dry.
· Move’s remaining battery life is always visible in the Sonos app.
100-240VAC, ~50/60Hz, 1.2A. Output: 18VDC, 2.5A
Make sure the speaker is seated properly in the base and the charging contacts are touching.

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.

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 is ready to respond. · Auto Trueplay tuning is enabled so Move can automatically adjust its sound for your surroundings. When the microphone light is off,

SONOS USER GUIDE
· If you have a voice assistant, voice control is off. · Auto Trueplay tuning is disabled.
Switch modes

Bluetooth pairing

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.

· Playbase accommodates most TVs with separate feet near the edges of the screen. It fits securely between the feet, below the screen.
· Feet must be at least 2.3″ (58mm) tall to allow for Playbase clearance.
· If the feet are too close together or they’re not quite high enough, don’t try to force your Playbase to fit.

On a TV cabinet shelf
· For the best sound, place Playbase toward the front of the furniture but DON’T let it hang over the edge.
· Allow at least 2″ all around the Playbase.

Note: Don’t place objects lighter than 5 lb (2.3 kg) on top of your Playbase or the sound may send them flying.
Connect the cables
1. Disconnect existing home theater or surround sound equipment from your TV.

SONOS USER GUIDE
2. Connect any external devices, like a cable box or DVD player, directly to your TV.

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.
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.

SONOS USER GUIDE
It may be on the back or side of your TV. Look for the port with “ARC” on the label.

The Sonos Sub takes your audio experience to the next level– · Instantly adds a dimension of deep bass impact to your audio listening experience. · Allows placement anywhere because it’s wireless and compact–position it vertically or horizontally on any floor surface. · The top of the acoustic slot doubles as a handle so you can lift it. · See Getting started when you’re ready to add a Sub to your Sonos system.
Note: The Sonos Sub is designed for use with any Sonos speaker, except Sonos Connect. Make sure you set up at least one speaker before adding the Sub.

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Sub to your home network. Use only the supplied power cord to connect to a power outlet (using a third party power cord will void your warranty). Be sure to use the proper power adapter for your country. Push the power cord firmly into the Sub until it is flush with the surface.

Select a location
Choose a location–it’s designed to provide optimal sound wherever you place it.
· Use the acoustic slot as a handle to lift Sub out of the box. You should always bend your knees when lifting heavy objects to avoid undue stress on your back.
· Make sure at least one side of the slot is free from obstruction. If you place it vertically against a wall, don’t block the front opening. If you place the Sub horizontally on the floor, don’t put anything on top of it.
· The Sub is designed to sit on the floor. You can place it in a corner, against the wall, behind, under, or next to any piece of furniture on any kind of floor surface.
· Position the Sub either vertically or horizontally. If you’re going to use it horizontally, you can attach the permanent felt feet (included). See Attach the feet for more information.
Make sure at least one side of the rectangular opening (acoustic slot) is unobstructed.
· If you place the Sub vertically flush against a wall, don’t block the front acoustic slot.
· If you place the Sub horizontally on the floor, don’t put anything on top of it. Leave at least 1″ clearance along the top of the Sub if placing under furniture.

SONOS USER GUIDE
Note: The Sub contains strong magnets. Don’t place the Sub near equipment that is sensitive to magnetic fields.
Attach the feet
If you’re placing Sub horizontally on a floor, you can attach permanent felt feet (included) to protect your floor. If you’re putting it on a rug or using it vertically, no need to adhere the felt feet. Note: The felt feet are not removable–a strong adhesive will keep them permanently attached to the Sub. 1. Lay the Sub down so the Sonos logo is facing down. Make sure you adhere the felt feet to the side that
doesn’t have the Sonos logo. 2. Place the enclosed guide on one corner of the unit and fold the flaps over the edge.
Felt foot
Guide for felt foot placement
3. Peel the backing off one of the feet. 4. Press the felt foot (sticky side down) onto the unit inside the circular portion of the guide. 5. Attach the other 3 felt feet the same way.

SONOS USER GUIDE
Connect the cables
Attach the power cord and plug in the Sub. Be sure to push the power cord firmly into the Sub until it is flush with the surface.

If you don’t have the app, download it from the app store. You’ll use it to set up and control your Sonos system. See Getting started. Make sure you set up at least one speaker before adding the Sub.
Note: After the Sub is paired with a Sonos speaker, you won’t see it displayed separately in Rooms. Any changes you make to that Sonos speaker (volume, mute, music selection) will also affect the Sub.
Sub settings
The Sub’s settings are set during the initial setup process, but you can make changes anytime.
1. Go to the sound settings for the room that’s associated with your Sub. It appears as room (+Sub) in your list of rooms.
2. Tap Sub Audio. 3. Choose one of the following options:
· Sub: Choose On or Off to turn the sound from the Sub on and off. · Sub Level: Use the slider to increase or decrease the volume of the Sub. (You can use this setting to
match the subwoofer level to the level of your main speakers.) · Phase Control: Choose 0° or 180° to set the phase control for your Sonos Sub or third-party subwoofer.
This can help integrate your subwoofer with other speakers in the room. (You’ll see this setting when you pair a Sonos Sub or third-party subwoofer with a Sonos Amp or Connect:Amp.) · Crossover Frequency: Adjust the frequency at which the sound transitions to the subwoofer. By default this is 80 Hz. You may wish to choose a different crossover frequency if: · The main speakers sound distorted at high volumes–moving to a smaller speaker size setting can
help. · Your attention is drawn to the Sub’s location while listening to music–moving to a larger speaker size
setting can help.

Pair Sub with a different speaker
You can easily pair Sub with a different Sonos speaker (except the Sonos Connect). If you’re moving Sub to a new room, wait for the status light to stop flashing after you plug it back in. 1. Go to the sound settings for the room that’s associated with your Sub.
It appears as room (+Sub) in your list of rooms. 2. Remove the Sub. 3. You can pair the Sub with a different Sonos product or choose not to use the Sub right now. It will appear
on Rooms as Sub (unused) until you pair it with another Sonos speaker.
