I'm not aware of such a feature, but it would be handy in our house. Often
two of us want to watch things in interconnecting rooms (eg one may be
cooking dinner and one relaxing on the sofa). We both want to watch the
6.00 pm news. Sound carries from one room to the other so if they are not
in synch it is very annoying.
