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) orSonos (Macintosh) menu, select Preferences.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Select Compressed or Uncompressed from the Line-In Encoding list, and click
OK.
