Joining a PARTY
The system can join a PARTY that has been
started by another device so that you can enjoy the
same audio content being played in a different
room.
While the PARTY host device is having
a PARTY, press PARTY.
“JOIN PARTY” appears, and the system joins the
PARTY as a PARTY guest.
To leave a PARTY
Press PARTY.
“LEAVE PARTY” appears, and the system leaves
a PARTY.
Tip
If “Network Standby” is set to “On,” the system turns on
and joins the PARTY automatically when the PARTY
host device starts the PARTY.
Notes
• You cannot join a PARTY in the following cases:
– you have a PARTY on this system.
– you have already joined another PARTY.
• If you press PARTY when no PARTY is started, but a
device complying with PARTY STREAMING function
is playing, the device will be the PARTY host, and the
system will join the PARTY as a PARTY guest.
• The PARTY guest device function automatically
switches to HOME NETWORK when the device joins
a PARTY. Even if the PARTY guest device leaves the
PARTY, the function remains as HOME NETWORK.
PARTY STREAMING in a wireless LAN
environment
With some IEEE802.11n-compatible wireless
LAN routers/access points, the wireless LAN
transfer speed may slow down when “WEP” or
“WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP)” is selected for the
encryption method.
If the sound skips during streaming playback
using the PARTY STREAMING function, try
changing the encryption method to “WPA/
WPA2-PSK (AES).” This may improve the
transfer speed and the streaming playback.
Configurations of encryption vary depending
on the model; please refer to the operating
instructions supplied with your router/access
point.
You can also obtain support information about
wireless LAN settings on the following
websites.
