Using the PARTY
STREAMING Function
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.
