Connecting an Auxiliary Device

You can connect various auxiliary devices to the stereo. These

devices have either RCA connectors, a line output, or a

headphone output jack.

1Locate the auxiliary connectors on the wiring harness.

2If necessary, connect an RCA-to-3.5 mm adapter cable to the

auxiliary device.

3Connect the auxiliary device to the AUX IN RCA connectors

on the wiring harness.

4Select the Aux source.

Optical Audio Connection

You can connect devices with an optical audio output to the

stereo using an optical audio cable. Televisions, DVD players,

CD players, and other devices may supply digital optical audio

output.

This stereo supports PCM audio only. You may have to change

the settings on your device to output PCM audio.

NOTE: Because streaming audio over the Fusion PartyBus

network introduces a slight delay, streaming content from a

television or DVD player may not be ideal. You can disable

Optical as a streaming source in the settings, if needed (General

Settings, page 10).
