Network Source Considerations
When selecting sources to play over the network, you should
observe these considerations.
• A zone stereo, such as the Apollo SRX400, can create or join
a group to control and play sources from other stereos, but it
cannot share its sources with the group.
• You cannot share an AirPlay source with grouped stereos.
Using AirPlay 2 software, you can play content on multiple
stereos on the network, but the stereos must not be grouped.
• You can disable sharing on most sources by changing the
PARTYBUS ENABLED setting for the source. When
disabled, the source cannot be selected from a grouped
stereo (General Settings, page 10).
• When audio sources are shared over a data network, there is
a slight delay in the synchronized audio that may be
noticeable if you are also using an external audio source.
◦ If you have a television with an Optical Out connection to
the stereo and you continue to use the television
speakers, there will be a delay between the audio from the
television speakers and the optical audio synchronized on
the grouped stereos.
◦ If you synchronize a radio station and tune that same
radio station on a non-networked stereo, there will be a
delay between the audio from the non-networked stereo
and the audio from the radio station synchronized on the
grouped stereos.
◦ You can remove this delay by changing the PARTYBUS
ENABLED setting for the source, but the source cannot be
shared with grouped stereos.
