SONOS USER GUIDE
digital output to the digital input on the receiver.
• If you have analog inputs on your AVR or amplifier, use a standard RCA audio cable to connect Port’s
analog audio output to the audio inputs on the receiver.
• Select the proper input channel on the receiver. See Control volume from your AVR or amplifier to
adjust volume settings.
If you don’t have the app, download it from the app store on your mobile device. You’ll use it to set up and
control your Sonos system.
If you’re connecting to a computer
You’ll need a stereo mini to RCA Y-adapter audio cable (one 1/8" stereo miniplug to dual RCA male
connectors) to connect from Port’s analog audio output to your computer’s audio input.
If you don’t have the app, download it from the app store on your mobile device. You’ll use it to set up and
control your Sonos system.
Line-in
Connect an external source like a phono preamp (your turntable may have a built-in phone preamp), or other
audio device. Learn more

Line-out
Control volume from your AVR or amplifier (Fixed line-out level)
Set Port’s line-out level to Fixed if you want to control the volume exclusively from your AVR or amplifier. You
won’t be able to use the Sonos app to adjust the volume or equalization settings.
Go to settings and choose Fixed for the Line-Out Level.
Control the volume from Sonos (Variable line-out level)
When Port’s line-out level is set to Variable, you can use the Sonos app to adjust the volume.
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.
