Zone groups
A zone can be grouped together with any other zone(s) to form a zone group. This will
cause all the zones in the zone group to play the same music in synchrony. You can link
or drop zones from a zone group while the music is playing. You can also link all the
ZonePlayers in your house with one click by selecting All Zones-Party Mode.
To link a zone to a zone group
You can create a zone group first and then select music to play, or you can add a zone
to a zone group where music is already playing.
1. From the Zones pane, select the zone you want to link another zone or zone
group to, and click Link Zone.
2. Select a zone to add to the group, and click Link. If you want to join all zones to
this music queue, select All Zones-Party Mode
. All of your ZonePlayers will
then play the same music in synchrony until you drop the zones from the
zone group.
To drop a zone from your zone group
1. From the Zones pane, select the zone group you want to change, and click Drop
Zone.
2. Select the zone you want to remove from the group, and click Drop.
The zone that’s removed from the zone group stops playing music. The other
zones in the zone group continue unaffected.
Note: Any zones you link will automatically drop their current music queue and
begin to play the music queue from the highlighted zone. You may sometimes
want to save your music queue before linking a zone. See "To create a Sonos Playlist"
on page 4-11.
Note: The order in which you add zones makes a difference. If you select Link
Zone from a zone where there is no music playing, any zone you link to it will also be
silent.
