3. Select another wireless channel from the Wireless Channel drop-down list, and
click 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.
Line-in encoding
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
system (this selection requires more network bandwidth than compressed
audio.)
•Use Compressed if:
• You are connecting more than 4 zones wirelessly.
1. From the File menu, select Preferences.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Select Compressed or Uncompressed from the Line-In Encoding list, and click
OK.
When Compressed is selected, you will notice a delay before the music starts to play.
When Uncompressed is selected, this delay is significantly reduced.
