Troubleshooting
The stereo does not respond to key presses
• Hold until the stereo turns off, and turn it on again to reset
the stereo.
• Disconnect power to the stereo for two minutes to reset the
stereo.
My Apple AirPlay audio is interrupted by short breaks
• Make sure the Apple device is not covered or obstructed.
• Make sure the Apple device has a good connection to the
same Wi‑Fi network as the stereo.
• Make sure the Apple device is not connected to the stereo
using Bluetooth technology and Wi‑Fi.
Using both a Bluetooth and a Wi‑Fi connection may cause
playback interruptions.
My Bluetooth audio is interrupted by short breaks
• Ensure the media player is not covered or obstructed.
Bluetooth technology performs best with line-of-sight
operation.
• Bring the media player within 10 m (33 ft.) of the stereo.
• Turn off the DISCOVERABLE setting after pairing a
Bluetooth device to the stereo.
The stereo does not display all song information from
my Bluetooth source
The availability of song information such as song title, artist
name, track duration, and album cover artwork depends on the
capability of the media player and music application.
Network Troubleshooting
If you cannot see or connect to Fusion PartyBus devices on the
network, check the following:
• Verify that only one device, either a stereo or a router, is
configured as a DHCP server.
• Verify that all Fusion PartyBus devices, network switches,
routers, and wireless access points are connected to the
network and turned on.
• Verify that wireless Fusion PartyBus devices are connected
to a wireless router or wireless access point on the network.
NOTE: Wired connections are more reliable than wireless
connections. If possible, you should connect devices to the
network using an Ethernet cable.
• You may experience wireless interference if there are many
nearby wireless access points. Change the channel on your
router or wireless access point to test for and correct
interference.
• Connecting a Bluetooth device to a stereo configured as a
wireless access point or client may reduce wireless
performance. Disconnect Bluetooth devices to test for and
correct interference.
• If you configured static IP addresses, verify that every device
has a unique IP address, that the first three sets of numbers
in the IP addresses match, and that the subnet masks on
every device are identical.
• If you have made configuration changes that might be
causing networking issues, reset all network settings to the
factory default values.
