General FAQs

What is the current consumption of my FUSION stereo?
Current consumption of Fusion Marine stereos 

MS-650/750 and all future marine stereos have the voltage rating of 10.8V to 16V DC. 
All figures are for head units only.  Amplifiers will contribute significantly higher current consumptions 
All marine stereos with 4 Amplified speaker outputs were tested with 4 speakers attached. No USB devices connected. 
All measurements are average and so measurements on other production stereos may vary. 

My MS-AV750 is requesting a password when i try to play a DVD.
If you stereo displays the following prompt on screen _ _ _ _ when you attempt to play a DVD enter 0000. This will enable playback of the DVD inserted. 
I am a first time FUSION stereo user, how do I work the basics?
If you're new to FUSION or a infrequent user, this video will give you all the guidance you need to operate and get the most from your FUSION Marine Stereo.
What is the” Internal amplifier on” feature in the settings menu of the 700 series?
This allows you to disable the internal Class D amplifiers when the RCA pre amp line outs are used for zone one and two and the speaker outputs are not required. This will reduce  current consumption and heat produced resulting in longer battery life whilst listening to your stereo.
Why does my Fusion stereo turn on at midnight by itself?
we have found that some customers have the “Alarm feature “of the 700 series enabled inadvertently. Simply got to the settings menu and unselect the Alarm feature and this will resolve the issue.
Why does my 700 Series Marine stereo turn on then off when I first enable the 12v power source?
Fusion stereo’s have a power state recall feature, this means that when you disable or disconnect the 12v power from the unit it will resume in that state when the 12v power supply  is resumed. The stereo will go through a boot up phase much like a smart phone or computer does first, then it will either go into standby mode or become active (dependent on the state when power was removed).
How do I update the software on my FUSION Marine Stereo or Wired Remote?
The following video demonstrates the simple process of updating the software on either the FUSION 700 or 205 series stereos and any MS-NRX200/i wired remote controls connected to the stereo.
Why can’t I connect my SiriusXM Tuner to my 700 Series?
FUSION has identified an issue with the current SiriusXM connector utilized on the FUSION 700 Series Marine Entertainment systems. The connector on the MS-IP700 or MS-AV700 is not compatible with the SiriusXM Tuner. FUSION has created an interface adapter that will correct this problem. Do not attempt to connect the SiriusXM tuner into your marine stereo without using this new interface adapter as it can cause physical damage and void the warranty of the SiriusXM Tuner -
What is the correct antenna to use for FM/AM reception with my Fusion Stereo
There are two main types of Antenna supplied for FM/AM reception in a marine environment.

The first is a "Ground Dependant" Antenna. This is designed to be used where the antenna base is in contact with a metal surface such as steel or aluminium that has a surface area of  0.5m˛ or greater. This is a ground plane and the antenna depends on it for reception signal strength, if fitted on a vessel without this you will get very poor reception.

The second is a "Ground Independant" antenna. This is suitable for non metal vessels and a ground plane is not required.

Ensuring you have the correct type of antenna for your vessel is something that is missed sometimes as it is not well advertised. 

VHF splitters are another option but we do not recommend them for metal vessels, as you are relying on the short wire run from the stereo to the splitter and this is generally inside the vessel so reception is limited.

How do I wire my speakers in 2 Ohm configuration for my MS-AM702 Zone Amp. (Parallel Configuration)
To wire 2 x 4 Ohm speakers in Parallel to present a 2 Ohm load to the MS-AM702 Amplifier per channel. Simply follow the below diagram showing the Positive terminals from each speaker connected to each other and the same with the Negative terminals. Then connect the Positive and Negitive wires from the closest speaker to the Stereo.
Is there a iPod sleeve available for the Apple 6th Gen Nano to suit the Fusion iPod inside products?
Yes, an adapter for an existing sleeve combination (Top A and Bottom B)  has just been released and can be ordered via the link to our contact us page. Please enter all details and includng your delivery address. State you require the Adapter 2 for the 6th Gen Nano.
How do I wire my speakers in 2 Ohm configuration for my 600 Series Stereo. (Parallel Configuration)
To wire 2 x 4 Ohm speakers in Parallel to present a 2 Ohm load to the 600 series stereo per channel. Simply follow the below diagram showing the Positive terminals from each speaker connected to each other and the same with the Negative terminals. Then connect the Positive and Negitive wires from the closest speaker to the Stereo.
What do I need to receive Sirius on my Fusion Sirius Ready Stereo ?
To enable the Sirius source of your Fusion Sirius Ready Stereo you must purchase a Sirius Tuner module.
Will my iPod/iPhone connect to my Fusion product if the battery is flat.
No. it will take a number of minutes for the Apple product to get a minimum level of charge before it can connect  and become operational. So please connect and wait for the unit to initialise.
What are the benefits of D Class Amplifiers in my vessel ?
The simple answer to this question is higher output power  (more Watts) and reduced current draw (play your music for longer periods). To give you a comparison between Class AB and D class, the normal output of a standard Head Unit  ( class AB) is say 40-50 watts Peak per channel. The Fusion 600 Series Head Units  (MS-CD/IP/AV600   D Class) have a rating of 70 Watts per channel and due to their  efficiency consume less power per Watt of output. In essence you can go louder for longer.  The other major benefit is that the D Class amp in the 500 and 600 series is that it's 2 Ohm stable (stereo).What this means is that you can conect 2 x 4 Ohm speakers per channel in  parallel wiring configuration. This produces more power but is divided between the 2 speakers. Eg. at 4 Ohms per channel ouput is 26 watts RMS and at 2 Ohms it is 43 watts RMS, so divided by two is 21.5 watts RMS per speaker.

The theoretical efficiency of class AB is about 75% as well with a real efficiency between 50%-70%; the theoretical efficiency of class D is about 100% with a real efficiency of more than 85%.The Fusion D Class  Marine Zone amp  MS-AM702 is a perfect example of a compact high output solution for the boating enthusiast that loves their music. loud

What is FUSION Multi-Zone™ Technology ?
FUSION’s Marine Multi-Zone™ technology allows you to create a truly customised audio solution, purpose built for your vessel.

At FUSION Electronics we understand not all boats are created equal, and more importantly, we understand not all ‘boaties’ are created equal. Revolutionary Marine Zone Technology, enables you to create a customised audio solution, tailored to your vessel.

Creating multiple independent audio ‘Zones’, provides an entertainment solution that everyone on board can enjoy - party with loud music on the fly bridge while the girls relax below with quieter music in the saloon.
Control the audio settings for all Zones through the Marine Stereo, or alternatively customise the audio system by installing a Wired Remote Control in each zone of the vessel.

You may require an additional amplifier to utilize the line out zone dependant on the number of zones you need. Fusions MS-AM702 is designed specifically for a single zone and is a

D class amp so is perfect for Marine vessels .

The Below Video explains everything you need to know about FUSION's Multi-Zone™ Technology

How do I reset my MS-RA200 ?
Should you need to reset your MS-RA200 due to it becoming non responsive. Simply press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
Will my iPod/iPhone charge while connected to my Fusion Head Unit ?
Yes. All Fusion  Head Units that support Apple iPod/iPhone products will charge your  Apple product while connected, even if they are not playing once they have initialized connection. This is a handy back up charger should you not have a charger on board.
Why do I get an error message when I dock my iPhone to my Fusion iPod inside product ?
Some iPhone models may intermittently display the message, “This accessory is not made to work with iPhone. Would you like to turn on Airplane Mode to reduce audio interference? You will not be able to make or receive calls.” when initially docked with any Fusion iPhone compatible product . All Fusion iPhone supported products have  been tested and certified by Apple, and passed Apple’s stringent “Works With iPhone” Self-Certification Test. All Fusion iPhone compatible  products are  fully-functional and compatible with Apple’s iPhone product line, despite this message. Please chose “NO”, or simply wait for this message to “time out”.
Does the MS-RA200 support video playback from my iPod/iPhone ?
NO. iPod/iPhone video playback  is only supported when the Marine portable media  Dock MS-DKIPUSB is connected to the MS-RA200. There is a composite video out RCA connection on the rear of the dock which enables Video playback to a compatible TV or Monitor.
Can I connect my Marine Head Units 12v Constant and 12v switched wires both to the + 12v source ?
Yes you can connect both wires together and directly to the battery if you do not have an ignition switch or another 12volt switched source. Keep in mind that the Head Unit will draw standby current while connected so an isolator switch is a good idea.
Can I have more than one amplified zone with my 600 series Head unit ?
Yes you can but you need a high level to low level adaptor. We recommend the Fusion HL-02. This allows you to connect a pair of speaker output wires from the Head unit to the HL02 input wires, the voltage is then reduced to match the line input level of an amplifier and the RCA connector output can be connected to RCA cables and run to the amplifier.

iPod support

Why does my MS-IP700i Stereo not connect to my second iPod?
The MS-IP700i Stereo (with internal dock) does NOT support multiple iPods connected simultaneously. Correct  operation is only guaranteed with a single device connected.
My Apple iPhone/iTouch with the new IOS5 will not connect to the MS-RA200
With the new release of the IOS5 for iPhone/iTouch some customers will require an update to the software of their MS-RA200. for their Apple product to connect to the MS-RA200.

 

Is there a iPod sleeve available for the Apple 6th Gen Nano to suit the Fusion iPod inside products?
Yes, an adapter for an existing sleeve combination (Top A and Bottom B)  has just been released and can be ordered via the link to our contact us page. Please enter all details and includng your delivery address. State you require the Adapter 2 for the 6th Gen Nano and it will be sent to you free of charge.
What Fusion iPod/iPhone sleeve combination do i need for my Apple iPod/iPhone ?
The below chart is a current list of sleeve combinations available for Fusion iPod inside product.

IMPORTANT: Your FUSION iPod inside product may not support the latest Apple products.
A compatible sleeve does not imply support of an Apple product. For support refer to your FUSION iPod inside product.

Note: The iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 are compatible with the MS-DKIP and MS-DKIPUSB only.
 

My iPhone 4 has no Audio Output when connected to the MS-RA200
Due to the release of the iPhone 4 being after the release date of the MS-RA200 the first version of software does not support the iPhone 4. This is resolved by updating the MS-RA200 software via a USB flashdrive. To check the version installed select Menu, Settings, About. This will display the current version installed. If the version is 10.1573 you will need to update the software.
My Head unit keeps turning itself off then back on when connected to my iPod
This could be happening due to corrupt files and/or a corrupt version of your Operating Software  on your iPod.  If you connect to your computer you may get a corrupt message on the iPod that looks like this . The iPod "John's iPod" could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt . 
Why does my My Fusion Head Unit keep locking up when connected to my iPod/iPhone ?
If you are experiencing software lock ups or your unit freezes the first thing to do is reset the Head Unit by holding down the power button for  10 seconds (MS-RA200) or pressing the reset button inside the face plate (MS-XX600). Then reset your Apple iPhone by powering down and then restart the phone. Reset your iPod (see Apple website for model specific information).This should resume normal operation, then make sure you have the latest version of  iTunes and the latest Operating Software in your iPod/iPhone. It is important to update software when Apple release new versions. If you are connected via a Dock ensure you are using the correct sleeves and the connection to the Head Unit  is secure.

Check that your Apple product is supported by the Fusion Head Unit.

My iPod/iPhone will not connect to the head unit while in the dock ‘No iPod connected’
If  your Head unit displays ‘No iPod connected’ while in iPod source the first thing to do is check you are using the correct sleeve combination. If you  have  the incorrect sleeve combination this could prevent the iPod  connector from mating correctly,   it could also damage the connector in the dock or your iPod/iPhone.

 

Once you know for certain you have the correct sleeve combination and if you are still having a connection issue, the next step is to ensure you have the latest version of Operating Software installed in your iPod/iPhone and the latest iTunes version. You can check this by connecting your iPod/iPhone to iTunes and it will check and/or prompt you to download the latest version.

Once you have confirmed that you have the latest versions or updated your iPod/iPhone, if the issue persists you should reset the iPod /iPhone ( see the user manual for your Apple product)  and also reset the Head unit (Fusion User manual). If you continue to get the ‘No iPod Connected’ message  you should contact  your Fusion dealer or contact Fusion via the Tech email.
