Stereo Zones and Groups

NOTE: The Zones button appears only for stereos that support multiple speaker zones.
NOTE: The Groups option appears only when you have multiple Fusion stereos connected to one another using
Fusion PartyBus networking.
If a connected stereo is set up to support multiple speaker zones, you can control the audio of the zones
individually from the media screen on the chartplotter. For example, you could make the audio quieter in the
cabin and louder on the deck
If you have multiple Fusion stereos connected to one another using Fusion PartyBus networking, you can create
stereo groups and control the networked stereos and groups using the chartplotter.
Depending on the capabilities of the stereo or stereos connected to the chartplotter, you may have multiple
options for controlling zone audio:
• For third-party stereos and compatible Fusion stereos, the Local Zones tab allow you to adjust the volume for
all of the enabled speaker zones on the connected stereo.
• For multiple Fusion stereos connected to one another using Fusion PartyBus networking, the Group Zones
tab allows you to adjust the volume for any zones on a stereo in the same group as Home Zone.
• For multiple Fusion stereos connected to one another using Fusion PartyBus networking, the Network tab
allows you to adjust the volume for any zone on any stereo connected to the Fusion PartyBus network.

Selecting the Home Zone

If you have multiple stereos connected to the chartplotter, or have a stereo or stereos with multiple speaker
zones connected to the chartplotter, you must designate one speaker zone on one stereo as the home zone.
