Abstract
Example techniques involve controlling playback volumes of playback zone in a network media system. An example implementation includes displaying a first volume indicator along a first scale at a first position corresponding to a first volume setting of a zone, and a second volume indicator along a second scale at a second position corresponding to a second volume setting of a zone group including the zone. The implementation also includes receiving an input corresponding to the second volume indicator to adjust the first volume setting to be equal to the second volume setting, and in response, displaying the first volume indicator at a third position along the first scale that indicates the first volume setting is equal to the second volume setting, and transmitting a command to adjust a playback volume of the playback zone to a volume setting corresponding to the third position along the first scale.
