Flip-down face protects the disc player
Okay, so you can't play vinyl records on FUSION's MS-AV750 DVD receiver. But when you see at all the things you can do with this remarkable marine receiver, you'll be totally okay with leaving your record collection on dry land.
The MS-AV750 serves as the hub of your boat's entertainment/information system. Hidden behind the water-resistant fold-down face, the shockproof DVD player is ready to play your disc-based music and video. You'll even find an HDMI video output that allows you to send high-quality picture and sound to a compatible monitor on your boat.
Home port for entertainment
The MS-AV750 can handle all your entertainment and communications needs when you're out on the water. In addition to working with an incredible variety of wired and wireless devices, you can connect this highly-advanced DVD receiver to your NMEA 2000 network and communicate with any Fusion-Link™ certified Multi-Function Displays or FUSION NMEA 2000-certified wired remote controls (connectors sold separately). An internal software switch allows you to choose between NMEA or "traditional" receiver functionality.
This receiver sports built-in Bluetooth® connectivity, so you can stream music wirelessly using your Apple® or Android smartphone and see track information on the colour screen. It supports iPod® or iPhone® audio and you can even enjoy Pandora control with “Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down” voting capability. The large rotary encoder handles most controls, while the colour LCD screen lets you see what's playing. You'll also see album art and other graphics on your phone when you use the FUSION-Link app.
If you love satellite radio, you can connect a SiriusXM tuner (subscription required) to enjoy music, sports, entertainment, news, and essential weather-related content when you're many miles offshore. And if you store your entertainment library on a USB thumb drive or portable device, the MS-AV750 has the inputs you need to get connected and get crankin'.
Control over four zones
With FUSION's innovative Zone Control, you can adjust the volume in up to four distinct zones -- a great feature for larger vessels or tour boats. And no matter which type of device you have, you can install a FUSION MS-UNIDOCK along with your MS-AV750 and keep the device charged and protected while you're riding the waves.
Stylish and seaworthy
FUSION designed the MS-AV750 to be tough enough for marine duty, but also for ease of use. The fully-sealed aluminum chassis serves as a solid foundation, while the face and switchgear are IPX5 water-resistant. Designed specifically for the rigors of the marine environment, this receiver is backed by the FUSION True Marine™ 3-year warranty.
