Abstract:
An example implementation may involve a first playback device rendering audio content. The example implementation may also involve the first playback device detecting that a second playback device has been connected to a playback system. After detecting that the second playback device has been connected to the playback system, the first playback device may determine a playback responsibility associated with the second playback device. The determined playback responsibility may include a grouping with the first playback device. After determining the playback responsibility associated with the second playback device, the first playback device may direct the second playback device to render the audio content.

Claim (Index 8):
A method to be performed by a media playback system comprising a first playback device and a second playback device, the method comprising:\n rendering multi-channel audio content as a bonded zone configuration, wherein the first playback device is configured to render one or more first audio channels of the multi-channel audio content and the second playback device is configured to render one or more second audio channels of the multi-channel audio content; while rendering the multi-channel audio content as the bonded zone configuration, detecting a failure of the second playback device; and based on detecting the failure of the second playback device, configuring the first playback device to additionally render at least one second audio channel.
