While the PARTY host device is having a PARTY, press PARTY JOIN and the receiver joins the PARTY as a PARTY guest. To leave a PARTY Press PARTY LEAVE. Notes • You cannot join a PARTY in the following cases: - you have a PARTY on this receiver. - you have already joined another PARTY. • If you press PARTY JOIN when no PARTY is started, but a device complying with PARTY STREAMING function is playing, the device will be the PARTY host, and the receiver 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. Tip If "Network Standby" is set to "On", the receiver turns on and joins the PARTY automatically when the PARTY host device starts the PARTY. Using Network Features 69US
