Resetting Your Dcr - Sonos Digital Music System User Manual

Chapter 3: Windows® Setup and Operation
Selecting a different wireless channel (DCR)
The Sonos Digital Music System selects the optimal radio frequency channel during
setup. However, if you have other wireless devices using this channel, you may want to
switch the Sonos Digital Music System to another channel to avoid conflicts, as
conflicts may cause audio drop-outs.
1. From the File menu, select Preferences.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Select another wireless channel from the Wireless Channel drop-down list, and
click OK.
It may take several seconds for the switch to take effect. If you have music playing, a
short music dropout will occur during the wireless channel change.
Line-in encoding (DCR)
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
system (this selection requires more network bandwidth than compressed
audio.)
• Use Compressed if:
• You are connecting more than 4 zones wirelessly.
1. From the File menu, select Preferences.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Select Compressed or Uncompressed from the Line-In Encoding list, and click
OK.
When Compressed is selected, you will notice a delay before the music starts to play.
When Uncompressed is selected, this delay is significantly reduced.
