Automatic Volume Adjustment Based on Speed

If your stereo is connected to a NMEA 2000

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20).

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.

SportsFlash Feature

The SportsFlash feature alerts you to key plays from your favorite teams during a live game. When an exciting

play happens, a SportsFlash alert appears, and you can tune to the broadcast and hear the play. When the

SportsFlash alert ends, you can choose to return to the previous channel, or remain tuned to the game.

To receive SportsFlash alerts, your subscription package must include play-by-play sports channels for the

sports leagues you want to include in the alerts.

You can enable, disable, or delete SportsFlash alerts that you have added (Managing Alerts, page13).

NOTE: A SportsFlash is different than a Game Alert. A SportsFlash alert lets you know when an exciting play

occurs during a game, while a Game Alert lets you know when a game begins.

NOTE: The SportsFlash feature is compatible with the SXV300 tuner (sold separately). Other tuners are

compatible but may limit the features. Review the user manual supplied with your SiriusXM tuner to learn

about features available with your tuner module.

Fusion-Link Wireless Remote Control App

You can use the Fusion-Link remote control app on your compatible Apple or Android device to adjust the

stereo volume, change the source, control playback, select and manage radio presets, and adjust some stereo

settings.You can use the app to set up and configure DSP profiles on the stereo.

The app communicates with the stereo using a wireless connection to the mobile device. You must connect

your compatible device to the stereo using Bluetooth technology to use the app.

You can connect an Apple device to the stereo using a USB cable to update the stereo software.

For information about the Fusion-Link remote control app for compatible Apple or Android devices, go to the

Apple App Store

or the Google Play

store.

FUSION-Link

™

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.

Additional Stereo Control Options 23

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.

Fusion wired remote controls operate over an existing NMEA 2000 network, so wiring the remote controls

directly to the stereo is not necessary. All remote controls connected to the same NMEA 2000 network as the

stereo can control the stereo.

The Fusion wired remote control can also serve as an NMEA

display showing NMEA navigation data or vessel

performance data from other NMEA devices on an existing NMEA 2000 network. See the instructions provided

with your remote control for information on supported NMEA 2000 PGN information.

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.

When properly installed, the front of the stereo withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 m for up to 30 min, and is protected against powerful jets of

water. For more information, go to www.garmin.com/waterrating.

The stereo may limit the output power to prevent the amplifier from overheating, and to maintain the audio dynamics.
