Line-in encoding settings

You must use the Sonos app on your mobile device to change line-in encoding settings.
Note:
When you have line-in music sources attached to a Sonos product, line-in encoding determines how Sonos
will encode the data coming from these sources. Your Sonos system defaults to
the optimal playback 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 theater.
• 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, go to go to
Compression.
