| Introducing the new Sonos CR200 Controller |
The Sonos CR200 Controller uses SonosNet, a secure wireless mesh network that extends the range of your CR200 Controller throughout your entire home. Which means you don't have to run to your PC every time you want to turn on, change or turn off your music. Control everything from the volume to music selection in any room from anywhere.
When it comes to scrolling through music libraries, searching for songs, viewing album art, choosing zones, and more, the large,full-color LCD touch screen make it a real cinch. To get started, just pick a room, pick a song and hit play.
