19CO N T RO LLINGYOUR SPE AK ERSpeakers, Rooms, and GroupsA primary feature of the Harman Kardon Wireless HD Music System is theability to send audio around the house to any number of different rooms.The way this is organized is through rooms and groups.A room contains one or more speakers that always play audio together. Ithas a specific name, like Living Room or Bedroom, a specific color, and aspecific icon. Rooms show up in the Harman Kardon Controller app as desti-nations to stream music to, and you can edit them, including the number ofspeakers, by going to Settings > Room management in the Controller app.They can be considered as permanent groups of speakers which always playthe same audio content. Rooms with more than one speaker have a singleMaster speaker which is the speaker you use for physical button controlsand to connect external sources.A group contains two or more rooms which play the same audio content.Their names are formed from the rooms inside them, for example if you addthe Kitchen to the Lounge to play the same music in both rooms, it wouldbe named Lounge +1. Adding the Living Room would change the name toLounge +2, and so on. Groups are created through the physical Link buttonon the top of each speaker, or by pressing the Link Rooms button on themusic player page in the app. Groups can be considered as temporary groups of speakers which areplaying the same audio content, but are easy to change as you walk from room to room or simplydesire playing different music in different areas. Groups don’t have a Master room, and if you beginplaying something new in any room, it will take priority and all other rooms in the group will beginto play the same audio.LINK ROOMSBedroom KitchenLiving Room BathroomC O N T R O L L I N G Y O U R S P E A K E R
