Wi-Fi connection:

During the first-time setup, Station’s display shows “Searching for Center”

These devices can interfere with the WiFi link between Center and Station, resulting in such interference as the pause during playback , the set’s slow response to your operation. The severity of interference varies depending on the extent of radiation from the device and the strength of Wi-Fi signals in the position.
