In the image above, one Vieo RV 850 stereo connects to a wireless router and to two Apollo SRX400 zone stereos . 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 . You can connect a Fusion PartyBus stereo, such as an Vieo RV 850 stereo, to multiple speaker zones 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. Streaming from a Fusion PartyBus Device on the Network Before you can stream from a device on the network, you must set up and configure your Fusion PartyBus devices according to the installation instructions.
