SONOS USER GUIDE
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 don’t 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 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.
To change the line-in encoding setting, tap > Settings > Advanced Settings > Audio Compression.
