Fusion PartyBus Networking

The Fusion PartyBus networking feature allows you to connect multiple compatible stereos together on a 
network, using a combination of wired or wireless connections.
You can group a compatible stereo, such as the Apollo RV-RA770 stereo, with other compatible stereos 
connected to the network. Grouped stereos can share available sources and control media playback on all of 
the stereos in the group, which allows for a synchronized audio experience across the vehicle. You can quickly 
create, edit, and break up groups as needed from any compatible stereo or remote control on the network.
You can use compatible stereos and remote controls, whether they are grouped or not, to adjust the volume of 
the available speaker zones for any stereo on the network.
You should refer to the installation instructions provided with your stereo when constructing the Fusion 
PartyBus network.
You can connect up to eight Fusion PartyBus stereos on a network wirelessly.

Creating a Group

Before you can create a group, you must connect multiple compatible stereos to the Fusion PartyBus network.

network.
