Restrictions to Party Mode

Volume control in Party Mode
The driver unit can control the volume of itself and of any receivers that are in Main Mode. This allows the receivers to have different volume settings to that of the driver and to each other.
When the volume on the driver unit is changed, any difference in volume settings of the receivers remains constant. For example, suppose that volume on the driver unit is set at 40 and the receivers are set at 65. If the volume on the driver is reduced to 30, then the volume setting on the receivers will drop to 55. If the volume on the driver is reduced to 0, the volume on the receivers will drop to 25. Continuing to lower the volume on the driver will reduce the volume on the receivers to 0.

To activate Party Poop on a receiver unit:
●Press ‘adjust’ on the front panel to bring up the volume display.
●Hold ‘adjust’ until the front panel displays PARTY POOP.
To rejoin the party, repeat the above steps.
