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 Uncompr
essed if:
• You want optimal performance with home theaters.
• You want to produce the highest quality sound for your Sonos system (this selection r
equires more
network bandwidth than compressed audio.)
Use Compr
essed 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, se
lect one of the following options:
• On a mobile device, go to
> Settings > Advanced Settings > Audio Compression.
• On a PC, go to Ma
nage > Settings > Advanced.
• On a Mac, go to Sono
