Sony CMT-MX700Ni Operating Instructions - Page 46

Joining a PARTY The system can join a PARTY that has been started by another device so that you can enjoy the same audio content being played in a different room. While the PARTY host device is having a PARTY, press PARTY. "JOIN PARTY" appears, and the system joins the PARTY as a PARTY guest. To leave a PARTY Press PARTY. "LEAVE PARTY" appears, and the system leaves a PARTY. Tip If "Network Standby" is set to "On," the system turns on and joins the PARTY automatically when the PARTY host device starts the PARTY. Notes • You cannot join a PARTY in the following cases: - you have a PARTY on this system. - you have already joined another PARTY. • If you press PARTY when no PARTY is started, but a device complying with PARTY STREAMING function is playing, the device will be the PARTY host, and the system will join the PARTY as a PARTY guest. • The PARTY guest device function automatically switches to HOME NETWORK when the device joins a PARTY. Even if the PARTY guest device leaves the PARTY, the function remains as HOME NETWORK. 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 encryption method. If the sound skips during streaming playback using the PARTY STREAMING function, try changing the encryption method to "WPA/ WPA2-PSK (AES)." This may improve the transfer speed and the streaming playback. Configurations of encryption 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 websites.
