Apple AirPlay

Connecting an Apple Device Using AirPlay

  1. From the settings menu on your Apple® device, connect to the same wireless network as your compatible Fusion® stereo.
    TIP: You can quickly connect your Apple to the same network as the stereo using Wireless Accessory Configuration (WAC) (Connecting the Device to a Wireless Access Point Using Apple Wireless Accessory Configuration)
    NOTE: You can connect some Apple devices to the network using a wired Ethernet connection, if applicable. Go to the Apple website for more information.
  2. On your Apple device, open the music app you want to stream to the stereo.
  3. From the music app or program, select AirPlay video symbol or AirPlay audio symbol, and select the name of the stereo.
  4. If necessary, start playing music on the app.

    The stereo changes to the AirPlay source automatically and plays audio from your Apple device.

    NOTE: If your Apple device is using AirPlay® 2 software, you can connect to multiple stereos on the same network.
    NOTE: You cannot stream the AirPlay source to other stereos on the network using the Fusion PartyBus™ network (Fusion PartyBus Networking). Using AirPlay 2 software, you can play content on multiple stereos on the network, but the stereos must not be grouped.
    NOTE: On some AirPlay devices, adjusting the volume on the device affects the volume level on the stereo.

Setting an AirPlay Password

You can set a password that a user must enter when connecting to the stereo using the AirPlay feature.

  1. Select Menu symbol > SETTINGS > SOURCE > AirPlay > AirPlay PASSWORD.
  2. Enter a password.
    NOTE: The AirPlay password is case-sensitive.

When connecting to this stereo using the AirPlay feature, the user must enter the password on their Apple device.
