Other Operations

Using the Party Chain function

You can connect multiple audio systems in a chain to create a more 
interesting party environment and to produce higher sound output.
An activated system in the chain will be the “Party Host” and share the music. 
Other systems will become “Party Guests” and play the same music as that 
being played by the “Party Host”.

Setting up the Party Chain

Set up a Party Chain by connecting all the systems using audio cables (not 
supplied).
Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains 
lead).

  If all the systems are equipped with Party Chain function

Example: When connecting using this system as the first system

First system

Second 

system

Last system

Continue the 

connection until 

the last system

The last system must be connected to the first system.

Any system can become a Party Host.
