• When you start a PARTY as PARTY host, 

you may face a time gap between the audio 
output and visual display in the following 
cases.
– The Audio Return Channel (ARC) function 

is used.

– The video output of the equipment is 

connected to the TV and the audio output is 
connected to the digital or analog audio 
input jacks on the receiver.

• Sources with copyright protection may not be 

streamed.

The receiver starts PARTY streaming as a 
PARTY host.

Press SHIFT, then hold down PARTY until 
“CLOSE PARTY” appears.

The receiver 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.

“JOIN PARTY” appears, and the receiver 
joins the PARTY as a PARTY guest.

Press SHIFT, then press PARTY. 
“LEAVE PARTY” appears, and the receiver 
leaves a PARTY.

If “Network Standby” is set to “On”, the receiver 
turns on and joins the PARTY automatically when 
the PARTY host device starts the PARTY.

• 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 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.

By downloading the latest version of the 
software, you can take advantage of the newest 
functions. The receiver accesses the Sony 
server to update the software.
If a new update is available, “[New Software] 
Perform Software Update.” appears on the TV 
screen when you are connected to the Internet 
and using the Home Network or Music 
Services function.
Make sure that other equipment connected to 
the receiver is stopped before updating the 
software.
For details on software update available, refer 
to the customer support site (page 124).

• Make sure not to turn off the receiver, disconnect 

the network cable or perform any operation on the 
receiver while the updating operation is in 
progress.

• If you try to update the software when the Sleep 

Timer is on, the Sleep Timer will turn off 
automatically.

The menu is displayed on the TV screen.
