![]() The ZonePlayer 120 is a 55W-per-channel amplified player that includes two Ethernet ports, RCA analog outputs and a subwoofer output, and two speaker connectors. Sonos Bundle 150 With Free Charging Cradle The review units sent by Sonos included the $999 Sonos Bundle 150 With Free Charging Cradle (this bundle includes the $499 ZonePlayer 120, the $349 ZonePlayer 90, the $399 Sonos Controller CR100 hardware, and $40 charging cradle for the controller), the $99 ZoneBridge wireless bridge, and the $179 Sonos SP100 bookshelf speakers. Beyond that ticking, let’s look at what’s recently happened with the Sonos Multi-Room Music System. Read those two reviews and you’ll understand what makes the Sonos system tick. The second review provides information on Sonos’ first amplifier-free player, the ZonePlayer 80-the current ZonePlayer 90 (ZP90) replaces it. In the first review you’ll learn the nuts and bolts of what makes the Sonos systems work. My colleague, Dan Frakes, has previously reviewed the original IPhone/iPod touch controller application, which nearly duplicates the functionality of Sonos’ $400 CR100 hardware controller (making it possible for frugal shoppers to skip the hardware controller altogether)? Oh, and the music that comes out of it sounds great. And what iPhone or iPod touch owner wouldn’t be thrilled by Sonos’ free It’s also easy to access audio files stored on computers and storage devices on your local network as well as listen to streaming audio from such sources as terrestrial radio, Internet-hosted podcasts, Rhapsody and Napster subscription music services, the Pandora and last.fm music services, and SIRIUS Internet radio. They include its simple design and ease of use-getting the Sonos system set up and packed with music is mostly a cinch (I’ll indicate where it isn’t later). The Sonos Multi-Room Music System is amazing for a variety of reasons. It's the CR100 that can't see the other units, so it's likely not going show up in the diagnostic report, either.Regardless of how you punctuate that statement, it’s true. Once I put the CR100 in the dock, and it reboots, I try to pair it again…but no love.īTW, see 4195270 diagnostics…which probably won't help, given that the ZP80, ZP100 and iPad are working just fine. I've also tried resetting the CP100 by pressing the following sequence: When it times out, after a few minutes, it says that no SONOS components are present, but I know better…and so does my iPad, which has no problem controlling both units. I've tried putting both ZP80 and ZP100 into the paring mode (pressing MUTE and VOL-UP)…and they both blink amber…but the CR100 just stares back at me, and eventually times-out. How can I get the CR100 to re-join the party? ![]() ![]() ![]() HOWEVER, I cannot get the CR100 to associate with the ZP80 or the ZP100. SUCCESS! I can now control them both on my WiFi network from my iPad SONOS app. I then hard-wired ZP80 and ZP100 via Ethernet to get them to connect. Everything used to work perfectly….Then it all stopped working…so, started by rebooting my router.
