Grouping and ungrouping HEOS speakers

Group or Ungroup HEOS products easily. Start any Listen to HEOS type activity, while in the Activity, swipe left until you land on the SPEAKERS page and tap the rooms you want to add or remove from the group.

Here are a few tips

• Navigate to the gesture screen to view album cover art for the current station. From that same screen, tap to pause, double tap to play, or try other gesture motions such as swiping left or right.
• Access HEOS in device mode to view and update its group composition.
• You can extend audio to new HEOS speakers while your Listen to HEOS Activity is running.

Create unique HEOS Activities

Harmony allows you to import your HEOS favorite stations and start playing them automatically when you start your Listen to HEOS music Activity. You can create unique Activities such as a "Good Morning" that turns on your lights, opens your blinds, starts the coffee maker and begins playing a specific HEOS station such as the news channel. You can also create a more generic Listen to HEOS Activity that simply lists your favorite stations allowing you to pick one based on your mood.

What if I have more than one HEOS player?

Can I listen to more than one HEOS Activity at a time?

It's not possible to have multiple Activities running at once. Selecting a different Listen to HEOS Activity will first stop the original speakers before starting the next Activity.

Can I use Quick select commands with Harmony?

When using HEOS AVR or HEOS Bar, you may utilize Quick select commands if they are configured to use one of the default input sources, they will also work with AUX or COAX inputs. If you've changed your input settings and would like to change them back, you can do so in the HEOS app (links provided in the setup section above) by selecting Quick Select Names, changing the name, and then tapping the Save ✓ button. Below is a reference to acceptable input sources.

• AUX
• COAX
• HDMI 1
• HDMI 2

I'm having trouble using HEOS USB inputs with Harmony

Notice that USB inputs are not recognized by Harmony and therefore not supported.

How do I control a group of HEOS players?

Open the HEOS app for iOS or Android and tap the Rooms button. From there, you will see all of the HEOS speakers on your netowork. Grouping your speakers together can be accomplished by dragging one speaker on top of another. The top-most speaker will be the group master and cannot be removed from the group. Speakers other than the group master can be removed by dragging them and dropping them out of the group.

When creating a Listen to HEOS Activity in Harmony, it's important to create it using the group master so all other players in the group will play and pause music together; however, volume will only control the master speaker. Creating a Listen to HEOS Activity using a speaker other than master will cause the players to ungroup. Groups can only be re-created from within the HEOS app.

Harmony is unable to find my HEOS players

• Ensure your HEOS are powered on and connected to your home network.
• Harmony Hub must be connected to the same Wi‑Fi network as your HEOS players.
• From Harmony setup, add a player. For example, manufacturer: Denon and model number: HEOS 7 to begin the discovery of your connected devices.
