Speaker Zones

You can group speakers in one area into speaker zones. You

can then control the audio level of the zones individually. For

example, you might want the audio quieter in the cabin and

louder on deck.
You can set the balance, volume limit, subwoofer level, and

name for each of the available zones. Up to two pairs of

speakers can be connected per zone in parallel to increase the

amplifier output.

Subwoofer Amplifier Connection Considerations

This stereo supports output to a powered subwoofer from all

zone outputs.
The subwoofer port on the stereo outputs a mono line-level

signal. The port output audio level is linked to the zone.
• You should connect the connectors to the included splitter.
• You need a splitter for each zone. One splitter is included.

Speaker Amplifier Connection Considerations

In addition to the two stereo speaker zones available through

the wiring harness, this stereo can be connected to multiple

amplifiers through zone connections.
• The blue wire from the wiring harness must be connected to

the amplifier to provide a signal to turn on the amplifier with

the stereo. If it is necessary to extend this blue signal wire,

use 22 AWG (0.33 mm²) wire.

• The audio output is a stereo line level output over standard

RCA cable.

Common Connections to the Stereo

You can connect a variety of additional media inputs and

outputs to the stereo, depending on the stereo model and the

devices to which you are connecting.
The connectors are color coded to assist you in making the

correct connections. For example, your TV may have an HDMI

connector. Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI connector on

the stereo. This table lists some possible ways to connect

devices to the stereo.
NOTE: Not all connectors are available on all stereo models.

* Metal hull vessels should use a marine, AM/FM, ground-

dependant antenna. Other vessels can use a marine, AM/FM,

ground-independent antenna.

Audio Return Channel

The Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables you to play the audio

from the television over the stereo system speakers.
ARC eliminates the need to connect a separate audio cable

from the HDMI television to the stereo. Typically, in televisions

without ARC, to play the audio from the television over the

stereo system speakers, you would need a separate cable. With

ARC, the HDMI cable sends the television audio to the stereo.
The HDMI version 1.4 cables support ARC. When planning your

stereo installation, check whether your devices support ARC.

Most devices that support ARC have an ARC label on the HDMI

connector that supports ARC.
NOTE: The Fusion MS-AV750 supports ARC.
