SONOS CONNECT:AMP
9
Using Line-In
You can easily stream an external source such as a CD player or portable music player through your Sonos system using the
audio-in connections on your SONOS CONNECT:AMP. The device will be automatically detected as soon as you plug it in.
• Use a standard RCA cable to plug an external source like a CD player into the analog Audio In connections on the back
of your CONNECT:AMP.
• If you are connecting a portable music player to the CONNECT:AMP, you will need a 1/8 inch mini-stereo to RCA audio
cable instead. Plug the mini-stereo end into the portable device and the RCA end into the Audio In connection on the
CONNECT:AMP.
Using a handheld Sonos Controller:
• To play music from this line-in source, select Line-In from the SONOS music menu, select the source, and select Play
Now.
• To change the name of this device, select Rooms from the Settings menu. Select the Sonos product this source is
connected to, and then touch Line-In Source Name. Select a new name from the list, or type a unique name.
• To change the line-in level, select Rooms from the Settings menu. Select the Sonos product this source is connected
to, and then touch Line-In Source Level. Select a new level.
Using the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC:
• To play music from this source select Line-In from the MUSIC pane, click next to the music source, and select Play
Now.
• To change the settings for this device:
• Select Manage -> Settings (PC) or Sonos -> Preferences -> Room Settings (Mac).
• Select the Sonos product your Airport Express is connected to from the Room Settings for drop-down list.
• Click the Line-In tab and update the settings.
A default (typical) line-in level is automatically assigned when you select a source name, but if the volume sounds too low,
you can select a higher line level for this device. (You may experience sound distortion 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 Sonos product, line-in encoding determines how Sonos will encode the
data coming in from these sources. 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 So
nos system (this selection requires more network bandwidth
than compressed audio.)
Use Compressed if:
• You are connecting more th
an 4 rooms wirelessly.
• You are in an environment with heavy wireless interference and are experiencing dropouts.
