Enjoying the same source in multiple
rooms (party mode)

The party mode allows you to play back in Zone2 the same music that is

being played back in the main zone. During the party mode, stereo

playback is automatically selected for all zones. Utilize this function

when you want to use main zone music as background music for a house

party.

Press PARTY.

Each time you press the key, the party mode is turned on or off.

When the party mode is turned on, “PARTY” lights up in the front

display.

If the party mode does not work on Zone2, set “Party Mode Set” (p.129) in the

“Setup” menu to “Enable” (default).
