Changing the line-in encoding setting
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 sys-
tem (this selection requires more network bandwidth than compressed audio.)
Use
Compressed
if:
• You are connecting more than 4 zones wirelessly.
