• Source Name: Type a custom name if desired.
• Line-In Level: A default (typical) line-in source level is automatically assigned based upon the source name. (If the

room. Use the Autoplay Volume slider to set the default volume for the autoplay room when the line-in source is con-
nected.

Changing the audio compression setting
Your Sonos system defaults to automatic in order to provide 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 theaters.
• You want to produce the highest quality sound for your multi-room 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.
From the File (PC) menu or Sonos (Mac) menu, select Preferences.
