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.

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 security method.
If the sound skips during streaming playback 
using the PARTY STREAMING function, try 
changing the security method to “WPA/

WPA2-PSK (AES).” This may improve the 
transfer speed and the streaming playback.
Configurations of encryption (security) 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 
website.
http://www.esupport.sony.com/

You can start a PARTY so that other devices 
which support the PARTY STREAMING 
function can play the same music even though 
they are in different rooms.

1

Make sure the PARTY guest 
devices are turned on and are 
in a status which allows them to 
join a PARTY.

2

Play back audio content using 
the AUDIO IN terminal or audio 
content stored on the server on 
your network on this unit.

3

Press and hold PARTY for a few 
seconds.

The unit starts PARTY STREAMING 
and the PARTY STREAMING indicator 
lights up in green.

To close a PARTY

Press and hold PARTY for a few seconds.
The PARTY STREAMING indicator goes off.

Notes

• An error has occurred when the PARTY 

STREAMING indicator lights up in red. Perform 
the process from step 1 again.

• You cannot start a PARTY while you are currently 

participating in a PARTY.
