Media Player Connection
CAUTION
Always disconnect your media player from the stereo when not
in use and do not leave it in your vessel. This helps reduce the
risk of theft and damage from extreme temperatures.
Do not remove the media player or use your stereo in a
distracting manner while operating the vessel. Check and obey
all marine laws in association with use.
The stereo accepts a variety of media players, including
smartphones and other mobile devices. You can connect a
compatible media player using a Bluetooth wireless connection
or a USB connection to the USB port. The stereo can play
media from Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) devices, such as a
Network Attached Storage (NAS) device connected to the same
network. The stereo can play media from a compatible Apple
device connected to the same network using the AirPlay
®
feature.
Bluetooth Device Playback
You can pair the stereo to up to eight Bluetooth media devices.
You can control the playback using the stereo controls on all
Bluetooth devices, and on some devices you can browse the
music collection from the menu on the stereo. On Bluetooth
devices that do not support media browsing, you should select
the song or playlist on the media device.
The availability of song information such as song title, artist
name, track duration, and album art depends on the capability of
the media player and music application.
