Sony STR-DN840 Manual De Usuario

You can start a PARTY so that other 
devices that support the PARTY 
STREAMING function can play the same 
music even though they are in different 
rooms.

Audio content of all the sound sources 
on this receiver can be streamed.

• Only audio contents on this receiver can be 

streamed. During PARTY host, video 
signals are not output to the TV, and audio 
signals will downmix to 2 channel. In this 
case, you can only select “2ch Stereo” as 
sound field.

• 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.

“START.PARTY” appears on the 
display panel.
The receiver starts PARTY streaming 
as a PARTY host.

To close a PARTY
Press PARTY CLOSE.

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.

To leave a PARTY
Press PARTY LEAVE.

• 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.

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