Denon AVR-X8500H User Manual

Listening to the same music in multiple
rooms
The HEOS system is a true multi-room audio system that automatically
synchronizes audio playback between multiple HEOS devices so that the
audio coming from different rooms is perfectly in sync and always sounds
amazing! You can easily add up to 32 HEOS devices to your HEOS
system. You can join or group up to 16 individual HEOS devices into a
group of HEOS devices that function as if they were a single HEOS
device.
