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 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 the Sonos app on a mobile device: From Settings, select Advanced Settings -> Audio
Compression.
• Using the Sonos app on a PC: Select Manage -> Settings -> Advanced.
• Using the Sonos app on a Mac: Select Sonos -> Preferences -> Advanced.
Line-Out
Controlling the volume from your home theater or amplifier
To control the volume exclusively from your home theater or amplifier, you can change the line-out level on the
Sonos CONNECT to Fixed by selecting one of the following options:
• Using the Sonos app on a mobile device: Select Room Settings from Settings. Select the Sonos
product attached to the receiver. Select Line-Out Level, and choose Fixed.
• Using the Sonos app on a PC: Select Manage -> Settings. Select the Sonos product attached to the
receiver. Choose Fixed from the Line-Out Level drop-down on the Basic tab.
• Using the Sonos app on a Mac: Select Sonos -> Preferences -> Rooms Settings. Select the Sonos
product attached to the receiver, and then choose Fixed from the Line-Out Level drop-down on the
Basic tab.
Note: When you change the line-out level to Fixed on your Sonos CONNECT you
will not be able to adjust the volume or the equalization settings using a Sonos app.
