Creating or Editing a Group
Before you can create a group, you must connect multiple
compatible stereos to the Fusion PartyBus network. See the
installation instructions provided with your stereo for installing
and configuring the network.
You can combine compatible stereos on the network into
groups. Grouped stereos can share available sources and
control media playback on all of the stereos in the group, which
allows for a synchronized audio experience across the vessel.
You can quickly create, edit, and break up groups as needed
from any compatible stereo or remote control on the network.
NOTE: You can adjust the volume of any zone on any
compatible stereo on the network, regardless of whether or not
those stereos are in the group.
A zone stereo, such as the Apollo SRX400, can create or join a
group to control and play sources from other stereos, but it
cannot share its sources with the group.
For additional considerations when sharing sources, see the
owner's manual.
