Grouped Stereo Functions

After you create a group of stereos, additional functions and options are available to all stereos in the group.
• After you create a group, all of the stereos in the group share the same synchronized display.
• You can select a source from any stereo in the group, with a few limitations (

Grouped Stereo Source 

Considerations

, page 7

), and the source will play simultaneously on all stereos in the group (

Selecting a 

Source

, page 5

).

• You can control playback (such as pausing and skipping tracks) on any stereo in the group, and it will affect 

all stereos in the group.

• You can adjust the volume for any zone on any stereo in the group.

TIP: 

When adjusting the volume, you can select ALL to adjust the volume of all the stereos in the group at 

the same time.

Grouped Stereo Source Considerations

When selecting sources to play over the network, you should observe these considerations.
• You cannot share an AirPlay

®

 source with grouped stereos. Using AirPlay 2 software, you can play content on 

multiple stereos on the network, but the stereos must not be grouped.

• When audio sources are streamed over a data network, there is a slight delay in the synchronized audio that 

may be noticeable if you are also using an external audio source.
◦ If you have a television with an Optical Out connection to a stereo and you continue to use the television 

speakers, there will be a delay between the audio from the television speakers and the optical audio 
streamed on the grouped stereos.

◦ If you synchronize a radio station and tune that same radio station on a non-networked stereo, there will 

be a delay between the audio from the non-networked stereo and the audio from the radio station 
streamed on the grouped stereos.

◦ You can remove this delay by changing the GROUP ENABLED setting for the source, but the source 

cannot be shared with grouped stereos.

NOTE: 

You cannot change the settings when a stereo is part of a group. You must remove the stereo from the 

group before you can change any settings.
