Operating a Multi-Room Lifestyle
Using the HOUSE button
The HOUSE button lets you control all connected rooms as if they were one. When you press
the HOUSE button, an empty box indicator is displayed for each connected room. Any button
pressed after that (any source button, VOLUME, MUTE, or SLEEP) affects every room. When
you are done listening you can press OFF to turn off the entire system.
Note: If you do not press any additional buttons after pressing HOUSE, pressing HOUSE
again cancels HOUSE mode.
Press the HOUSE button before each command to apply that command to all rooms:
Press ...
HOUSE then a source
HOUSE then VOLUME /
HOUSE then MUTE
HOUSE then SLEEP
HOUSE then OFF
Note: Instead of setting one sleep time for the entire house, you can set different sleep times
for individual rooms by using the ROOM button to select each room and setting SLEEP.
When two or mor e rooms are controlled as one, adjusting the SLEEP time affects all rooms
(indicated by boxed letters).
If you have a multi-room system, you can add additional music centers in some or all of the
connected rooms. Each multi-room interface can be controlled by a maximum of four music
centers. Each music center can control up to four rooms.
To add a new music center to your system, follow the setup instructions on page 13. Be sure
to install the batteries and turn it on for the first time close to the multi-room interface to allow
the new music center to set up a radio frequency link with your system. If the multi-room
interface is not plugged in or the music center is out of range, the display indicates NO
RESPONSE.

To do this ...
Play the selected source in all connected rooms.
Adjust the volume up or down by the same amount in all
rooms that are on, or all connected rooms if they are all off.
The system remembers the differences among the original
room volume settings.
Silence all connected rooms that are on, even if any were
previously muted individually. To cancel this command, press
HOUSE then MUTE again. Any rooms that were muted before
this command was given stay silent until individually unmuted.
If you unmute an individual room after it was muted by a
HOUSE - MUTE command, the other rooms remain silent until
each one is unmuted individually. Pressing HOUSE then
VOLUME unmutes all muted rooms.
Set the SLEEP timer for all rooms that are on. The SLEEP time
selected applies to all rooms that are on even if they are
playing different sources. If the SLEEP timer was already set
in one or more rooms, the display shows the longest time
already set. You can accept this time or change it for all the
rooms. To cancel the HOUSE - SLEEP command, press
HOUSE, SLEEP, CLEAR, and then DONE.
Turn off the entire system.
