Garmin RV-IN1501, Owner'S Manual

PartyBus zone stereo, such as an Apollo SRX400 zone stereo, 

to a single speaker zone  . You can connect a FUSION 

PartyBus stereo, such as an RV-IN1501 stereo, to multiple 

speaker zones   to cover a larger area with that stereo.

another stereo. You can adjust the volume of speakers or 

speaker zones connected directly to the stereo only.

and media servers. You must connect your UPnP device to the 

same network as the stereo using a wired or wireless 

connection, and you must configure the device to share media 

over the network. See the owner's manual from your UPnP 

device for more information.
