), and the source will play simultaneously on all stereos in the group (
).
• You can control playback (such as pausing and skipping tracks) on any stereo in the group, and it will affect
all stereos in the group.
• You can adjust the volume for any zone on any stereo in the group.
TIP: When adjusting the volume, you can select ALL to adjust the volume of all the stereos in the group at the
