Using The Party Streaming Function - Sony STR-DN1030 Operating Instructions Manual

Using the PARTY
STREAMING function
Audio contents currently being played back on
this receiver can be also played back on all
devices corresponding to the PARTY
STREAMING function on your home network
at the same time.
If you encounter an interruption when using a
wireless connection, connect your receiver to
the router with a wired connection.
While PARTY streaming, a device called a
"PARTY host" starts a PARTY and streams
music, and a device called a "PARTY guest"
joins a PARTY and receives music from the
"PARTY host".
Before using the PARTY STREAMING
function, make sure that "PARTY
STREAMING" is set to "On" (page 99).
