MAS SYSTEM

Operation

NOTES:

Only connect a turntable with an MM-type cartridge to the Phono Input. Do not connect a turntable to any other input without using a phono preamp.

When one of the digital audio inputs is selected, if no signal is present – e.g., if the device is turned off or paused – the “UNLOCK” message will appear. This does not reflect a problem; it is simply an indication that no signal is present.

Recording

Two-channel analog and digital audio signals are normally available at the Coaxial Output and Line Output on the rear panel of the controller. The MAS system can convert one type of signal to the other. Thus, to make a recording, you need only make sure to connect your audio recorder to the preferred output jacks, insert blank media and make sure the recorder is turned on and recording while the source is playing.

NOTE: Please make certain that you are aware of any copyright restrictions on any material you record. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials is prohibited by law in most jurisdictions.

System Software Version

To view the current system software version, press the Settings button and use the 7/3 buttons to display “System Version.” Press the Enter button to display it, and then press the Enter or Back button to return to the Settings Menu.

System Reset

In the event that the system behaves erratically, a system reset may return it to normal operation.

NOTE: All user settings, including radio presets and the languages selection, will be returned to their factory defaults and must be reentered.

Press the Settings button and use the 7/3 buttons to display “System Reset.” Press the Enter button, and a message will appear asking you to confirm that you wish to reset the system. Press the Enter button again to perform the reset.

System Memory

The MAS system will retain user settings for up to four weeks after it has been com- pletely turned off by unplugging the AC power cord.
