Using the PARTY
STREAMING
You can play back audio content that is being
played back on this unit or on another device
that has a PARTY STREAMING function at
the same time, via your home network.
While using the PARTY STREAMING
function, the device that starts a PARTY and
streams the audio content is called the
“PARTY host,” and the device that joins a
PARTY and plays the audio content streamed
from the PARTY host is called a “PARTY
guest.”
You can enjoy the PARTY STREAMING
function with other devices that have this
PARTY STREAMING logo.
