Instructions

Important Safety Information

WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.
This device must be installed according to these instructions. Disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning to install
this product. Before applying power to this product, make sure it has been
correctly grounded, following the instructions in the guide.
CAUTION
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface.
You must read all installation instructions before beginning the installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Fusion Product Support.

What's In the Box

• Two Mounting plates
• Mounting hardware ◦ Four 8-gauge, self-tapping screws
◦ Four M4 machine screws
• Power and speaker wiring harnesses
• RCA splitter
• Micro-USB to USB cable (UD models only)
• Lightning™ connector to USB cable (UD models only)
• Apple® 30-pin to USB cable (UD models only)
• Remote control (AV models only)
• Two AAA batteries (AV models only)

Tools Needed

• Phillips screwdriver
• Electric drill
• Drill bit (size varies based on surface material and screws used)
• Rotary cutting tool or jigsaw
• Marine sealant (optional)

Mounting Considerations

• The stereo must be mounted in a location where there is enough clearance for the open door of the stereo as indicated on the template.
• The stereo must be mounted in a location that allows open airflow around the rear of the stereo for heat ventilation.
• The stereo must be mounted within 45° of the horizontal plane.
The cable should have a drip loop to allow water to drip down off the cable and avoid damaging the stereo.
• If you want to mount the stereo outside the boat, it must be mounted in a location well above the waterline, where it is not submerged.
• If you want to mount the stereo outside the boat, it should be mounted in a location where it will not be damaged by a docks, pilings, or other pieces of equipment.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the stereo should be installed at least 15 cm (5.9 in.) away from a compass.

Mounting the Stereo

NOTICE
Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount stereo. There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could compromise the stability of the stereo after it is mounted.
Before mounting the stereo, you must choose a location following the guidelines above.
Trim the template and make sure it fits in the selected
1
location. Secure the template to the selected location.
2
Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface, drill the
3
hole inside the corner of the dashed line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
Using a jigsaw or rotary tool, cut the mounting surface along
4
the inside of the dashed line indicated on the template. If necessary, remove the sun cover from the stereo.
5
Place the stereo in the cutout to test the fit.
6
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
7
the cutout. After the stereo fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the
8
mounting holes on the stereo line up with the pilot holes on the template.
If the mounting holes on the stereo do not line up, mark the
9
new pilot-hole locations. Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface
10
and screw type, drill the pilot holes. Remove the template from the mounting surface.
11
Connect the wiring harnesses and wires, while observing
12
polarity. Place the mounting gasket on the back of the stereo À.

Connection Considerations

The stereo must be connected to power, to speakers, and to media input sources to function correctly. You should carefully plan the layout of the stereo, the speakers, and your input sources before making any connections.

Wire Identification

Connecting to Power

When connecting the stereo to power, you must connect both power wires. The yellow power wire should be connected directly to the battery, or connected using a 15 A isolator switch. This provides power to the stereo and a constant trickle-power standby feed. The red signal wire should be connected to the same battery through the ignition or another manual switch to turn the stereo on and off.
If you are not routing the red wire to the ignition or another manual switch, you can connect the yellow to the red, and connect them to the positive (+) battery terminal. You should put a fuse on the red wire.
If it is necessary to extend the yellow power and black ground wires, use 14 AWG (2.08 mm2) wire. For extensions longer than 1 m (3 ft.), use 12 AWG (3.31 mm²) wire.
If it is necessary to extend the red signal wire, use 22 AWG (0.33 mm2) wire.
Route the yellow power À and black ground Á wires to the
1
battery and route the wiring-harness plug to the stereo. Do not connect the wiring harness to the stereo until all of the
bare wire connections have been made.

• Connect the yellow wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and route the red signal wire  to the ignition or another manual switch Ã.
• Connect the yellow wire to the red, and connect them to the positive (+) battery terminal.

Speaker Zones

You can group speakers in one area into speaker zones. You can then control the audio level of the zones individually. For example, you might want the audio quieter in the cabin and louder on deck.
You can set the balance, volume limit, subwoofer level, and name for each of the available zones. Up to two pairs of speakers can be connected per zone in parallel to increase the amplifier output.

Subwoofer Amplifier Connection Considerations

This stereo supports output to a powered subwoofer from all zone outputs.
The subwoofer port on the stereo outputs a mono line-level signal. The port output audio level is linked to the zone.
• You should connect the connectors to the included splitter.
• You need a splitter for each zone. One splitter is included.

Speaker Amplifier Connection Considerations

In addition to the two stereo speaker zones available through the wiring harness, this stereo can be connected to multiple amplifiers through zone connections.
• The blue wire from the wiring harness must be connected to the amplifier to provide a signal to turn on the amplifier with the stereo. If it is necessary to extend this blue signal wire, use 22 AWG (0.33 mm²) wire.
• The audio output is a stereo line level output over standard RCA cable.

Common Connections to the Stereo

You can connect a variety of additional media inputs and outputs to the stereo, depending on the stereo model and the devices to which you are connecting.
The connectors are color coded to assist you in making the correct connections. For example, your TV may have an HDMI connector. Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI connector on the stereo. This table lists some possible ways to connect devices to the stereo.
NOTE: Not all connectors are available on all stereo models.

* Metal hull vessels should use a marine, AM/FM, ground­dependant antenna. Other vessels can use a marine, AM/FM, ground-independent antenna.

Audio Return Channel

The Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables you to play the audio from the television over the stereo system speakers.
ARC eliminates the need to connect a separate audio cable from the HDMI television to the stereo. Typically, in televisions without ARC, to play the audio from the television over the stereo system speakers, you would need a separate cable. With ARC, the HDMI cable sends the television audio to the stereo.
The HDMI version 1.4 cables support ARC. When planning your stereo installation, check whether your devices support ARC. Most devices that support ARC have an ARC label on the HDMI connector that supports ARC.
NOTE: The Fusion MS-AV750 supports ARC.
