Changing your SonosNet wifi channel

If you have a product wired to your router, you can change your system’s wireless channel to reduce interference.

1. Go to the Settings menu.
2. Select Network, then SonosNet Channel.
3. Change the wireless channel to 1, 6, or 11.

Reauthorizing your music service account

Sometimes it is necessary to reauthorize a music service that is added to your system in order for the service to continue to work with Sonos.

1. Go to the Manage under “Your Services” on the home screen.
2. Under Connected Services, select the music service.
3. Under Connected Accounts select the music service account.
4. Select Reauthorize Account.

Line-in audio compression setting

Choose if you want the Sonos app to compress the audio when using line-in.

Sonos presets the best Audio Compression level for your system; this setting overrides the pre-set.

Go to the Account menu.

1. Go to the Settings menu.

2. Select General Settings.
3. Select Forget Current System.

S2 to S1 speaker software downgrade tool

1. Go to the Settings menu.
2. Select Visit Help Center.
3. Select Sonos S1 App.
4. Select Downgrade Product to S1.
