zones individually. For example, you could make the audio quieter in the cabin and louder on deck.
You can set the balance, volume limit, tone, subwoofer frequency, and name for each zone, and configure other
zone-specific settings (Speaker Zone Settings, page25).
DSP Settings
This stereo features digital signal processing (DSP). You can select pre-configured DSP settings for Fusion
speakers and amplifiers to optimize audio reproduction in their installed locations.
All DSP settings are configured using the Fusion-Link™ remote control app (Fusion-Link Wireless Remote Control
App, page32).

• On an Android device, select > Zone > SEND DSP SETTINGS.
Audio Control 7

Automatic Volume Adjustment Based on Speed
If your stereo is connected to a NMEA 2000® network with a device that provides speed information such as an
engine, chartplotter, GPS antenna, water speed sensor, or wind speed sensor, you can set the stereo to adjust
the volume automatically based on the selected speed source (Enabling Automatic Volume Adjustment Based
on Speed, page26).
For example, if a chartplotter with an internal GPS antenna or a stand-alone GPS antenna is on the same NMEA
2000 network as the stereo and you set the SPEED SOURCE to SPEED OVER GROUND, the volume increases as
your speed increases.
NOTE: When the volume increases to adjust for speed, the actual volume output changes, but the volume-level
indicator bar and number stays the same.
For more information about connecting the stereo to a NMEA 2000 network, see the installation instructions for
your stereo.
Media Player Connection
CAUTION
Always disconnect your media player from the stereo when not in use and do not leave it in your vessel. This
