A FUSION PartyBus stereo, such as an Apollo
RA770 stereo,
can stream sources to other
FUSION PartyBus devices
connected to the network. Connected FUSION PartyBus
devices can also control media playback on the FUSION
PartyBus stereo. A FUSION PartyBus zone stereo, such as an
Apollo SRX400
zone stereo can stream from a
FUSION
PartyBus stereo, but cannot stream sources to other FUSION
PartyBus devices on the network.
You can connect up to eight FUSION PartyBus devices on a
network.
In the image above, one Apollo RA770 stereo
À
connects to a
wireless router
Á
and to two Apollo SRX400 zone stereos
Â
.
The two FUSION PartyBus stereo zone stereos can stream
sources from the FUSION PartyBus stereo.
A FUSION PartyBus zone stereo is not the same thing as a
speaker zone. It is an independent stereo that can either play
media from connected sources or stream from a FUSION
PartyBus stereo on the network. You can connect a FUSION
PartyBus zone stereo, such as an Apollo
SRX400 zone stereo,
to a single speaker zone
Ã
. You can connect a
FUSION
PartyBus stereo, such as an Apollo RA770 stereo, to multiple
speaker zones
Ä
to cover a larger area with that stereo.
FUSION PartyBus devices cannot control the speaker volume of
another stereo. You can adjust the volume of speakers or
speaker zones connected directly to the stereo only.

the device screen. All media playback functions affect both
devices.
Stopping Streaming from a FUSION
PartyBus Device on the Network
If you are streaming from a
FUSION PartyBus device on the
network, you must disconnect from the device before you can
play local sources on the stereo.
1
Select the source icon.
The source icon is in the lower-left corner of the stereo
screen, and shows the source that is currently selected.

Network UPnP Playback
This stereo can play content from Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP) devices connected to the network, such as computers
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.
After you have connected your UPnP device to the network and
configured it to share media, the UPnP source appears on the
source selection screen of each stereo on the network
(
Selecting a Source,
page
1).
