Speakers, Rooms, and Groups
A primary feature of the Harman Kardon Wireless HD Music System is the
ability to send audio around the house to any number of different rooms.
The way this is organized is through rooms and groups.
A room contains one or more speakers that always play audio together. It
has a specific name, like Living Room or Bedroom, a specific color, and a
specific icon. Rooms show up in the Harman Kardon Controller app as desti-
nations to stream music to, and you can edit them, including the number of
speakers, by going to
Settings > Room management
in the Controller app.
They can be considered as permanent groups of speakers which always play
the same audio content. Rooms with more than one speaker have a single
Master speaker which is the speaker you use for physical button controls
and to connect external sources.
A group contains two or more rooms which play the same audio content.
Their names are formed from the rooms inside them, for example if you add
the Kitchen to the Lounge to play the same music in both rooms, it would
be named 1. Adding the Living Room would change the name to
2, and so on. Groups are created through the physical Link button
on the top of each speaker, or by pressing the Link Rooms button on the
music player page in the app. Groups can be considered as temporary groups of speakers which are
playing the same audio content, but are easy to change as you walk from room to room or simply
desire playing different music in different areas. Groups don’t have a Master room, and if you begin
playing something new in any room, it will take priority and all other rooms in the group will begin
to play the same audio.
