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 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, select one of the following options:
Using a handheld Sonos controller: From the Settings menu, select Advanced Settings -> Audio Compression.
Using the Sonos Controller for PC: Select Manage -> Settings -> Advanced Settings.
Using the Sonos Controller for Mac: Select Sonos -> Preferences -> Advanced Settings.
For additional information on connecting audio devices, you can go to our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/cables.
