experience. Sonos recommends you do not change this default. However, if you decide to make a change, we recommend
the following usage guidelines:
Use Uncompressed if:
• You want optimal performance with home theaters.
• You want to produce the highest quality sound for your Sonos system (this selection requires more network bandwidth
than compressed audio.)
Use Compressed if:
• You are connecting more than 4 rooms wirelessly.
• You are in an environment with heavy wireless interference and are experiencing dropouts.
To change the line-in encoding setting, select one of the following options:
• Using a handheld Sonos controller: From the Settings menu, select Advanced Settings -> Audio Compression.
• Using the Sonos Controller for PC: Select Manage -> Settings -> Advanced Settings.
• Using the Sonos Controller for Mac: Select Sonos -> Preferences -> Advanced Settings.
For additional information on connecting audio devices, you can go to our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/cables.
