Line-In encoding

When you have line-in music sources attached to a ZonePlayer, line-in encoding
determines how the Sonos Multi-Room Music System will encode the data coming in
from these sources. For multi-room audio, we recommend the Compressed setting.
For the highest quality sound, you can select Uncompressed encoding instead (note
that this selection requires more network bandwidth than compressed audio.) For TV
or DVD audio, we recommend the Uncompressed setting.

1.

From the Music menu, select System Settings

.

2.

Select Advanced Settings>Line-In Encoding.

3.

Use the scroll wheel to select Uncompressed or Compressed encoding, and
press OK. When Compressed is selected, you will notice a slight delay before the
music starts to play. When Uncompressed is selected, this delay is significantly
reduced.

Selecting a different wireless channel

The Sonos Multi-Room Music System selects the optimal radio frequency channel
during setup. However, if you have other wireless devices using this channel, you may
want to switch the Sonos Multi-Room Music System to another channel to avoid
conflicts, as conflicts may cause audio drop-outs.

1.

From the Music menu, select System Settings.

2.

Select Advanced Settings>Wireless Channel.

3.

Use the scroll wheel to select a different wireless channel, and press OK.

It may take several seconds for the switch to take effect. If you have music playing, a
short music dropout will occur during the wireless channel change.
