• You can adjust the volume for any zone on any stereo in the group.

TIP: When adjusting the volume, you can select ALL to adjust the volume of all the stereos in the group at the

same time.

Fusion PartyBus Networking 23

Grouped Stereo Source Considerations

When selecting sources to play over the network, you should observe these considerations.

• A zone stereo, such as the Apollo SRX400, can create or join a group to control and play sources from other

stereos, but it cannot share its sources with the group.

• You cannot share an AirPlay source with grouped stereos. Using AirPlay 2 software, you can play content

on multiple stereos on the network, but the stereos must not be grouped (Connecting an Apple Device Using

AirPlay, page14).

• You can disable sharing on most sources by changing the GROUP ENABLED setting for the source. When

disabled, the source cannot be selected from a grouped stereo (General Settings, page28).

• When audio sources are streamed over a data network, there is a slight delay in the synchronized audio that

may be noticeable if you are also using an external audio source.

◦ If you have a television with an Optical Out connection to a stereo and you continue to use the television

speakers, there will be a delay between the audio from the television speakers and the optical audio

streamed on the grouped stereos.

◦ If you synchronize a radio station and tune that same radio station on a non-networked stereo, there will be

a delay between the audio from the non-networked stereo and the audio from the radio station streamed

on the grouped stereos.

◦ You can remove this delay by changing the GROUP ENABLED setting for the source, but the source cannot

be shared with grouped stereos (General Settings, page28).

NOTE: You cannot change the settings when a stereo is part of a group. You must remove the stereo from the

group before you can change any settings.

Group Synchronization

By default, groups you create are not maintained when you turn off stereos in the group. If you turn off a single

stereo added to the group, it leaves the group. If you turn off the primary stereo in the group, the group is

dissolved. You can enable group synchronization to preserve group membership for a stereo after turning it off.

Group synchronization behaves differently based on how you turn the stereos off and on.

• If you turn a synchronized stereo off and on by using either the power button on the stereo or a physical

switch on the ignition wire (the red wire), all of the synchronized stereos in the group turn off and on together.

This applies to all of the synchronized stereos in the group, whether or not a stereo is the primary stereo in

the group.

NOTE: Selecting ALL OFF from the power menu on a stereo turns off all stereos on the network, even if they

are not in a group or have group synchronization enabled.

• If you turn a synchronized stereo off and on using a physical switch on the power wire (the yellow wire), the

other synchronized stereos in the group behave differently:

◦ If the synchronized stereo is the primary stereo in the group and you turn it off using a physical switch on

the power wire, the other synchronized stereos in the group remain on, but leave the group. When you turn

the primary stereo back on again, the other synchronized stereos rejoin the group.

◦ If the synchronized stereo is not the primary stereo in the group and you turn it off and on using a physical

switch on the power wire, all of the other synchronized stereos in the group remain on and grouped, and

the stereo rejoins the group when you turn it on again.

24 Fusion PartyBus Networking

Enabling Group Synchronization

You must remove the stereo from an existing group before you can enable the GROUP SYNC setting. You

cannot update settings when a stereo is part of a group.

You must enable this setting on each stereo that you want to retain group settings after a power cycle.

1 Select > SETTINGS.

2 Select the name of the stereo.

3 Select POWER OPTIONS > GROUP SYNC.

The stereo retains group settings after a power cycle.

4 Repeat for additional stereos as needed.

NOTE: You must enable GROUP SYNC on all networked stereos for synchronization to work properly.

LED Lighting Control

Network Troubleshooting

If you cannot see or connect to Fusion PartyBus devices on the network, perform these steps.

• Verify that all Fusion PartyBus devices, network switches, routers, and wireless access points are connected

to the network and turned on.

• Verify that wireless Fusion PartyBus devices are connected to a wireless router or wireless access point on

the network.

NOTE: Wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections. If possible, you should connect

devices to the network using an Ethernet cable.

• Verify that only one device, either a stereo or a router, is configured as a DHCP server.

• Change the channel on your router or wireless access point to test for and correct interference.

You may experience wireless interference if there are many nearby wireless access points.

• Disconnect Bluetooth devices to test for and correct interference.

Connecting a Bluetooth device to a stereo configured as a wireless access point or client may reduce

wireless performance.

• If you are experiencing trouble connecting, make sure your router supports 2.4GHz band connections.

When connecting to a wireless router, this device is compatible with only 2.4GHz band connections, and

cannot connect to a 5GHz band.

• If you configured static IP addresses, verify that every device has a unique IP address, that the first three sets

of numbers in the IP addresses match, and that the subnet masks on every device are identical.

• If you have made configuration changes that might be causing networking issues, reset all network settings

to the factory default values.
