Enjoying the Wired Party Chain

Plug in the AC power cord 
(mains lead) and turn on all the 
systems.

Adjust the volume on each 
system.

Activate the Wired Party Chain 
function on the system to be 
used as the Party Host.

Example: When using this system 
as the Party Host

  Press FUNCTION repeatedly on 

the unit to select the function 
you want. If you are using 
connection 

 (page 34), do 

not select the AUDIO IN 
function. If you select this 
function, sound cannot be 
output.

  Start playing the music, then 

hold down   PARTY CHAIN on 
the unit for 2 seconds or more.

“PARTY CHAIN” appears on the 
display. The Party Host starts the 
Wired Party Chain, and other 
systems become Party Guests 
automatically. All systems play the 
same music as that being played by 
the Party Host.
“WIRED P.CHAIN” lights up on the 
display of Party Host and Party 
Guests.

Note

Depending on the total unit of systems 
you have connected, Party Guests may 
take some time to start playing the 
music.

Changing the volume level and sound 
effect on the Party Host will not affect 
the output on the Party Guests.

The Party Guest continues playing the 
music source as Party Host even when 
you change the function on Party Guest. 
However, you can adjust the volume 
and change the sound effect on Party 
Guest.

When you use the microphone or play 
the guitar on Party Host, the sound will 
not be output from Party Guests.

When one of the systems in the chain 
is performing USB transfer, wait for the 
system to complete or stop the transfer 
before you activate the Wired Party 
Chain function.

For detailed operation on other 
systems, refer to the operating 
instructions of the systems.

To select a new Party Host (when 
all the systems are equipped 
with the Wired Party Chain 
function)

Repeat step 3 of “Enjoying the 
Wired Party Chain”
 on the system 
to be used as a new Party Host. The 
current Party Host becomes Party 
Guest automatically. All systems 
play the same music as that being 
played by the new Party Host.

Note

You can select another system as the 
new Party Host only after the Wired 
Party Chain function of all the systems 
in the Chain has been activated.

If the selected system does not become 
a new Party Host after a few seconds, 
repeat step 3 under “Enjoying the Wired 
Party Chain”
.

To deactivate the Wired Party 
Chain

Hold down   PARTY CHAIN on the 
Party Host for 2 seconds or more.
“LEAVE PARTY” appears on the 
display.
