When this guide applies

Exact Marantz MODEL M1. Already networked and individually working HEOS products, not Bluetooth party pairing. Only normal external user controls; no mains modification, chassis opening, reset or firmware installation.

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

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
