| |

| − | :4. Check the rooms you want to add to the group
| |
| − | :: [[Image:GroupDialog.png]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | * You can choose to either:
| |
| − | ** select and play the music you want and then group additional rooms
| |
| − | **or group rooms then select and play music
| |
| − | * Rooms added to a group will immediately start playing music in perfect synchronisation
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | =Permanent grouping of rooms=
| |
| − | | |
| − | A permanent room is a room that plays the same music as another room but does not appear as a selectable room. An example of this behaviour is an open plan area with the Kitchen connected to a Lounge. In most situations a listener would want both rooms to play the same music but be able to control the volume in each room independently.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To make a room a permanently part of a group you need to configure your Linn system using [http://www.linn.co.uk/software#konfig Konfig]. To add a room to as a permanent member of a group you must configure the name of the room's Receiver source, (it's default name is Songcast), to be that of the group.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Go into Konfig and select the Room that will always be the source of the Music, we will call this the "sender" room<br>
| |
| − | 2. Select the '''Device''' tab and copy the "'''Room'''" name<br>
| |
| − | 3. Now in Konfig go into the Room that you always want listening to the "'''Sender'''" Room<br>
| |
| − | 4. Select the *Sources* tab in this "listening" room and select the Songcast input<br>
| |
| − | 5. Paste the Name of the "sender" (from point 1.) into the Songcast name <br>
| |
| − | 6. On this Songcast input make sure that "Visible" is set to '''Yes'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | In our example of a Lounge, called "Lounge", with open plan Kitchen, called "Kitchen", you would configure the name of the Kitchen's Songcast source name "Lounge".
| |
| − | Rooms:<br>
| |
| − | [[Image:PermanentGrouping.jpg|350px]]
| |
| − | * If a permanently grouped room is not playing the same as the group click [[Image:SatelliteButton.png]]and ensure the room is switched ON
| |
| − | [[Image:Permanent_Grp2.jpg|350px]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | * The permanent grouped icon will only be visible if there is a permanently grouped room associated with the currently selected room
| |
| − | * Rooms that are permanently grouped do not appear as a selectable room.
