Media Player Connection

 CAUTION

Always disconnect your media player from the stereo when not 

in use and do not leave it in your vessel. This helps reduce the 

risk of theft and damage from extreme temperatures.
Do not remove the media player or use your stereo in a 

distracting manner while operating the vessel. Check and obey 

all marine laws in association with use.

The stereo accepts a variety of media players, including 

smartphones and other mobile devices. You can connect a 

compatible media player using a Bluetooth

®

 wireless connection, 

a USB connection to the USB port on the back of the stereo, or 

to an optional UNI-Dock external media dock.

NOTE: 

If you connect an Apple

®

 media player to the USB port 

on the stereo, you must either disable Bluetooth on the media 

player, or unpair the Bluetooth connection from the stereo to 

avoid possible media-playback issues.

USB Device Compatibility

You can use the USB cable that came with your media player to 

connect the media player to the USB connector on the back of 

the stereo.
The stereo is compatible with Apple devices that use a 

Lightning

 connector on the USB cable, such as the iPhone 6.

The stereo is compatible with media players and other USB 

mass storage devices that contain music in MP3, M4A, and AAC 

formats. A connected USB mass storage device must be 

formatted using the NTFS or FAT32 file system.

True-Marine

 Products

True-Marine products are subjected to rigorous environmental 

testing under harsh marine conditions to surpass industry 

guidelines for marine products.
Any product that bears the True-Marine stamp of assurance has 

been designed for simplicity of use and combines advanced 

marine technologies to deliver an industry leading entertainment 

experience. All True-Marine products are supported by the 

Fusion 3-year worldwide limited consumer warranty.

FUSION-Link

FUSION-Link technology allows you to fully control compatible 

Fusion entertainment systems on compatible multi-function 

displays installed at the helm, flybridge, or navigation station of 

the vessel. This provides you with integrated entertainment 

control and a less cluttered console.
The partnered multi-function display becomes the portal on 

which all audio on the vessel is controlled, no matter where on 

the vessel the stereo is installed. The FUSION-Link equipped 

stereo can be installed out of sight if space is an issue and users 

need to access the stereo only to replace removable media.
FUSION-Link technology offered on this device operates over 

existing industry-standard NMEA 2000

®

 networks.

For a list of FUSION-Link capable products from companies that 

are partnering with Fusion, go to 

www.fusionentertainment.com

 .

Audio Control with NMEA 2000

NMEA 2000 is the most popular marine standard for data 

communication within vessels. It has become the standard for 

sending navigation and engine management data within 

vessels. Fusion introduces an industry-first product by 

incorporating NMEA 2000 functionality in its audio remote 

control devices. This enables the user to monitor a series of 

available NMEA

®

 sentences.

Go to 

www.fusionentertainment.com

 for a full list of supported 

NMEA sentences.

Optional Wired Remote Controls

The stereo can be controlled by compatible Fusion wired remote 

controls installed in the audio zones throughout the vessel. 

Operating the entertainment system from the remote control is 

similar to operating it from the main stereo.
The wired remote controls operate over an existing NMEA 2000 

network, so all remotes connected to the same NMEA 2000 as 

the stereo can control the stereo.
The remote control can also serve as an NMEA display showing 

NMEA navigation data or vessel performance data from other 

NMEA devices on an existing NMEA 2000 network.
