Line-In encoding
When you have line-in music sources attached to a ZonePlayer, line-in encoding
determines how the Sonos Digital 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 Digital 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 Digital 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.
