CONTROLLING IPOD PLAYBACK
INSTALLATION WARNING
Selecting tracks from a playlist
Caution! The MS-RA50 is designed for vessels with a 12V DC Negative ground electrical
system.

to play from one of the groupings available (such as Playlists, Artists, Albums). For example, to
select tracks by artist:
•

connecting the wires to the speakers and audio system, the terminals and connections are
protected from shorting to each other.

AUXILIARY INPUT
INSTALLING THE RA50
LISTENING TO AUXILIARY INPUT
MOUNTING THE UNIT
The RA50 can accept audio from devices with an audio output such as an MP3 player, TV,
games console, computer or DVD player.
Important! If any modification to the vessel is required, such as drilling holes, FUSION
recommends that you consult with your boat dealer or manufacturer beforehand.
Note:
An adaptor cable may be required.
1. Create mounting hole for product and drill screw pilot holes. Refer to mounting template
The Left and Right AUX input RCA cable is located at the rear of the unit.
2. Fit mounting gasket.
To listen to input from an auxiliary device:
3. Insert the unit into the mounting hole.
4. Use the supplied 4 x self tapping screws, to fix the unit into position.
5. Attach screw covers.
Press the Input source key (
) until the AUX input source screen is displayed.
Continuing to press the key will display the input source screens for AM, FM and iPod
(if connected) as described in the section “Input Source Screens” on page 13.
Note: Appropriate mounting is very important to ensure correct operation. Select a
location that allows both free/open airflow around rear of chassis, whilst minimizing
exposure to moisture. Allow adequate room at the rear of the unit for the cable looms
(approx. 50 mm or 2”).
