Sonos ZonePlayer ZP80 Setup Guide 9

A default (typical) line-in level is automatically assigned when you select a source name. If the volume sounds too low, you can select a higher line level for this device. You may experience clipping at higher volume levels if you set the level too high.

Line-in encoding settings

When you have line-in music sources attached to a ZonePlayer, line-in encoding determines how the Sonos Digital Music System will encode the data coming in from these sources. For multi-room audio, we recommend using the Compressed setting. For the highest quality sound, you can select Uncompressed encoding, but this selection requires more network bandwidth than compressed audio. For TV or DVD audio, we recommend using the Uncompressed setting.

Note: You will notice a delay when a line-in source is in use. When the Uncompressed encoding setting is selected, this delay is significantly reduced.

Adding More Sonos Components

Note: Thick walls, 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, and the presence of other wireless devices can interfere with or block the wireless network signals from your Sonos Digital Music System. If you are experiencing difficulty, it is advisable to relocate the ZonePlayer, change the wireless channel your music system is operating on, or make a wired connection (Ethernet cable) either from your router to the ZonePlayer, or from one ZonePlayer to another.
