MAS SYSTEM

Introduction and Features

More than 50 years ago, Harman Kardon sold the very first audio receiver, a high- performance component that combined the functions of several products that previously had only been available separately. Our mission was and is to deliver high-fidelity sound in an easy-to-use package, and we are confident that you will enjoy the quality and convenience of the MAS 101/MAS 102/MAS 111 music system for many years to come.

The MAS systems are complete high-performance audio systems with a CD player, an FM tuner (MAS 111 models include a DAB tuner) and auxiliary inputs for other products, as well as a pair of custom-designed bookshelf loudspeakers. MAS 101 and MAS 111 systems also include The Bridge IIIP dock for iPod/iPhone (optional for the MAS 102 system).

To obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new system, we urge you to read this manual and refer back to it to familiarize yourself with the features and operation of the MAS system.

If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact your retailer or custom installer, or visit www.harmankardon.com.
