Hi Keith,
Congratulations on your Sonos setup, glad you like it as much as all of us Sonos users do. If you ever want to expand, you’ll find that adding a Sonos Sub to a set of Play 3 in stereo mode will make an amazing difference. And just to make this clear, my often rather enthusiastic endorsement of Sonos is not because I work for them *smile*.

So far, I totally love the sound. I haven’t had such great access to music and quality of music reproduction for years. I bought 4 Play3 speakers to setup as 2 stereo pairs in our 2 most frequently used rooms. I called Sonos help twice, both in anticipation of setting up the system. With this background, I was able to set up the system without problem in about 30 minutes. The help I got from the Sonos rep by phone proved most useful to me. Maybe there’s other ways to get the info, but it’s the only install guidance I received. The first bit of information I got was how to power on the speaker. The Sonos app refers the user to a diagram that wasn’t described. Looking at the speaker from the front grill, with the speaker placed horizontally, there are two buttons on the top of the unit. The first from the front is a rectangular, rocker-style button. This is the Volume Up and Down. Depressing this rocker on the front edge is Volume Down; depressing this button on the back edge is Volume Up. Behind this rectangular button is a square button which serves as Play / Pause, or sometimes known as Mute. To Power on a unit, simultaneously depress Volume Up button and the Mute button, then release. The second bit of useful information I got was the procedure for setting up 4 new speakers. Although Sonos operating system is now capable of wireless setup, the rep suggested he had no way of knowing if all the units I received were wireless capable out of the box. He suggested I use a temporary wired setup. This worked like a charm. I Ethernet connected from the router to the first of my Sonos speakers and followed the setup on the app. It then asked me to set up the next. The 2nd through 4th speakers setup wirelessly, with each unit positioned where it will live. Once I was done building my system, the app completed a software update of all the units, thus ensuring that any future setup could be done entirely by wireless. I was then able to disconnect the temporary wired unit and position it where it now lives, all units being entirely wireless. Several steps in individual unit setup referred to green light or white light or blinking light indicators on the speaker, but each of these was associated with spoken guidance of waiting “a minute or so” or “a few seconds.” I couldn’t tell the light status at any of these steps, but following the time guidance, I encountered no problems. After that, just some trial and error with the app to get music playing, and that was all it took! Best, Keith -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
