When this guide applies

Exact Bluesound NODE N132 or native-BluOS NAD C 700 V2, both configured with compatible existing BluOS rooms. Correct primary owns the attached source; accept changing only the intended standard group. No fixed surround/stereo changes or MDC input-sharing assumption.

Connection scope: Wi-Fi / Ethernet network audio. Symptom: Stereo or party speaker linking isn’t working.
