Changing the line-in encoding setting
The audio from line-in sources can be encoded to produce compressed or
uncompressed audio. 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 multi-zone Sonos sys-
tem (this selection requires more network bandwidth than compressed audio.)
Use Compressed if:
• You are connecting more than 4 zones wirelessly.
Using the Desktop Controller software
1. From the File menu ( Windows) or Sonos (Macintosh) menu, select Preferences.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Select Compressed or Uncompressed from the Line-In Encoding list, and click
OK.
Using the Sonos Controller
1. From the Music menu, select System S ettings.
2. Select Advanced Settings>Line-In Encoding.
3. Use the scroll wheel to select Uncompressed or Compressed encoding, and
press OK.
