Network Technology
FUSION-Link network 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 integrated entertainment
control and a less cluttered console.
The partnered multi-function display becomes the portal on
which you can control all audio on the vessel, no matter where
on the vessel the connected 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 can
communicate using existing industry-standard NMEA 2000
networks.
For a list of FUSION-Link capable products from companies
partnered with Fusion, go to www.fusionentertainment.com.
NMEA 2000 Remote Control and Display
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.
Configuring an Optional Wired NRX Remote Control
NOTICE
The stereo is configured by default to work with a NMEA 2000
network, and the NRX POWER option should be enabled only
when an optional wired NRX remote control is connected
directly to the stereo. Enabling this option when the stereo is
connected to a NMEA 2000 network may damage other devices
on the NMEA 2000 network.
If you connect an optional wired NRX remote control directly to
the stereo, and not through a NMEA 2000 network, additional
configuration is needed.

Select > SETTINGS > POWER OPTIONS.

Select an option:
• If you connected both your stereo and your optional wired
remote to a NMEA 2000 network, make sure the NRX
POWER option is not selected. This enables the optional
remote to receive power from the NMEA 2000 network.
• If you connected the optional wired remote directly to the
stereo through the NMEA 2000 connector, select the NRX
POWER option. This enables the stereo to supply power
to the optional remote.
NMEA 2000 Information
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
NMEA
®
sentences available over the NMEA 2000 network on a
connected remote control.
