You can connect the MS-NRX50 remote control to a Fusion^® stereo using one of two methods, depending on the stereo:

• A new Fusion remote control network

• An existing NMEA 2000^® network

The main difference between a Fusion remote control network and a NMEA 2000 network is how they receive power. A NMEA 2000 network receives power through a power cable connected to the backbone and a power source.

A Fusion remote control network receives power from the stereo. If the stereo cannot supply power to the Fusion remote control network, you must connect the MS-NRX50 remote control using the NMEA 2000 network.

The MS-NRX50 controls all zones on a connected stereo and cannot be assigned to a single zone. The MS-NRX50 supports zone ratios on compatible stereos that support this feature.
