A system for synchronising networked devices in a multimedia environment has at least one central storage and interface device 106, and a plurality of zones each having a zone-specific storage and interface device 104, 108, 110, 112. Audio, video or photographic information, relating to at least one user and contained within the central device and each of the zone-specific devices, is updated and synchronised among the devices. This enables the user to be situated in any one of the zones and to access the same information. The synchronisation method includes determining whether a synchronisation point already exists and, if it does, then receiving information from a server device; or, if it doesn't, then sending information to at least one client device, the user determining what information is needed by the client device. The resultant state is established as a synchronisation point.
