INSTALLATION

1.Carefully unpack the controller, amplifier, speakers, FM antenna, DAB antenna (MAS 110 systems only), analog audio cable, ribbon cable, detachable AC power cord, The Bridge II dock for iPod (Some versions of MAS 110 system only), remote control and batteries.

2.Open the battery compartment of the remote control by firmly grasp- ing the portion of the remote that has the Harman Kardon logo and pulling it downward. Install the batteries in the remote control, follow- ing the “+” and “–” symbols in the battery compartment to maintain the correct polarity.

Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

3.With the controller stacked on top of the amplifier, carefully insert one end of the ribbon cable into the connector on the rear panel of the controller, and the other end into the corresponding connector on the rear panel of the amplifier.

4.Connect the FM antenna to its terminal. The system requires a female connector on the antenna. For MAS 110 systems only, connect the DAB antenna to its terminal.

5.Install The Bridge II dock for iPod (this dock is included with Some versions of MAS 110 and is available separately for other models; iPod is not included).

a.Holding the cable with the wider part of the connector at the bot- tom, gently squeeze the tabs on each side as you insert it into the connector on the rear panel of the controller.

b.Place the black insert in The Bridge II, making sure to push it all the way down. See Figure 1.

NOTE: Do not place an iPod in The Bridge II unless both the black insert and a dock adapter are installed. Otherwise, the iPod will not connect properly, and both it and The Bridge II may sustain damage that is not covered by the warranty.

c.Locate the dock adapter that was included with your iPod, or select one of the included dock adapters by referring to Table 1. If your iPod is an older model that does not appear in Table 1 and that did not include an adapter, contact Apple Inc. to purchase one.

Place the adapter in The Bridge II insert, as shown in Figure 1.

d.Remove the iPod from any case, and dock it in The Bridge II, as shown in Figure 1.

6.The MAS 100/MAS 110 features eight audio inputs for other devices, such as portable players. This step is optional, and may be skipped if you have no external devices. If your player has:

◆◆ 3.5mm Analog audio output or headphone jack: Plug an analog audio cable (not included) into the output or headphone jack and the front mini-jack, which is located on the right side of the controller.

◆◆ Pair of RCA-type analog audio outputs: Plug one end of a two- conductor interconnect cable (one cable is included; purchase additional cables for other devices) into the player, and the other end into the TV or Auxiliary Input jacks on the rear panel of the MAS 100/MAS 110. Use the same-color connector for each chan- nel (usually red for right, and white or black for left).
