Sonos Controller 100 Controller for ZonePlayer

Instant Access from Anywhere

With the Sonos Controller and SonosNet, Sonos's secure, wireless mesh network, you can instantly access all the music that's stored on your home network, plus Internet (with subscriptions), subscriptions to online audio services, and even music from your favorite CD or MP3 player -- from anywhere in your home. Turn off the upstairs music while you're downstairs. Change the song in the kitchen from the bedroom. It's all in your hands. Unlike other remote controls, the Sonos Controller features a 3.5-inch full-color LCD screen and scroll wheel so you can see album art, browse playlists, get detailed track information, and more. To get started, just pick a room, pick a song and hit play. You can use up to 32 Controllers for all your ZonePlayers -- like one for every room, floor or music lover in your house.

Wireless, Handheld Control

The Sonos Controller (CR100) lets you control what music is playing in every room in your house, from anywhere in your house. Control of your music is not tied to the room where you're listening. The system uses ZonePlayers and SonosNet, which is a secure AES encrypted, peer-to-peer wireless mesh network that extends the range of the Controller to any room in your house, even outside. This avoids sources of wireless interference by communicating with the closest ZonePlayer, rather than through one distant control point.

Full-Color Screen and Scroll Wheel

The Sonos Controller's 3.5-inch high-resolution color screen makes everything on the screen brighter and easier to see, including full-color album artwork, if available. The screen is optimized for indoor and outdoor use. If available, you can see full-screen and thumbnail views of album art, including detailed track information displayed in full color on the Controller. The scroll wheel selector makes it quick and easy to find your way through large music collections and make selections. Power scroll lets you scroll by letter to quickly find an artist, album or track. Intuitive button layout provides complete music management and control. Two buttons are dedicated to providing direct access to the Controller's main menus (Music and Zones). Its backlit buttons and screen make the Controller easy to operate in low-light conditions. Adjust the brightness of the LCD and buttons to suit your style and extend battery life. A light sensor turns backlighting on only when necessary to conserve battery power. Another cool feature is a movement sensor that automatically turns the Controller on when you pick it up.

Ease-of-Use

When you connect your ZonePlayers, you get instant access to millions of songs on your Controller that you can enjoy all over your house. No ripping, or downloading to PC required. You can browse your digital music collection by Artist, Album, Genre, Track Name, Composer, or Playlist. Queue-based music playback makes it easy to build and edit lists (queues) of songs to play, and to save lists for future playback. The multiple music queues feature lets you use any Controller to build a separate queue of music to play in each zone or group of zones in your house. Flexible playback lets you control what zone or group of zones plays the music selected, and set shuffle/repeat playback as desired. Regardless of where your music is stored, Sonos presents a single view of your entire library (all artists, albums, composers, genres, etc.).
