To select a preset station, use the Preset +/– Buttons, or use the Numeric Keys to enter the preset directly.

DAB Tuner (MAS 110 Systems Only)

The MAS 110 system is equipped with a DAB/DAB+/T-DMB-Audio tuner for use with compatible digital radio stations, where available.

The included DAB antenna must be connected to receive these stations.

Press the Radio Source Selector repeatedly to toggle between the FM and DAB bands.

The first time the DAB tuner is selected, the system will automatically scan for stations and store them in the Station List. Press the Auto Store Button at any time to repeat the scan. Any stations found may be selected from the lower line using the 7/3 Buttons. Then press the Enter Button.

Operation of the DAB tuner uses a sophisticated menu. The menu may be accessed while a station is playing by pressing the Info Button. Use the 7/3 Buttons to select menu options:

Station List: Press the Enter Button to view the stations found and select one for playback.

Local Scan: Begin a scan for local stations.

Full Scan: Begin a full-spectrum scan for available stations.

Manual Tune: Manually select a DAB band.

DRC: Adjusts dynamic-range-control audio compression, which reduces the level of louder passages while maintaining intelligibility of softer passages. Select “High” or “Low” compression, or select “Off” for no compression.

Station Order: Select whether stations are displayed in Alphanumeric, Valid or Ensemble order.

When listening to a DAB-Station, press the Display Button for less than one second to access station-defined information.

CD

Press the Disc Source Selector to switch to the CD source. Then gently insert a CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 or WMA disc, label-side up, partway into the slot loader. The mechanism will detect the disc and pull it the rest of the way in. Do not attempt to force the disc. If the disc will not load, turn off the MAS 100/MAS 110, unplug it and bring it to an authorized Harman Kardon service center for inspection.

The “Reading” message will appear for a few moments while the MAS 100/MAS 110 identifies the disc type.

NOTE: If the “Error” message appears, the disc is not compatible with the MAS 100/MAS 110, or its data may be damaged. Press the Eject Button to remove it.

For CD audio discs: The CD icon will appear, along with the total number of tracks and total disc time. Press Play to listen to the disc. When the disc has finished playing, the CD icon re-appears, as well as the total number of tracks and total disc time (in Stop mode).

For MP3 and WMA discs: The CD icon will appear, along with the total number of files/tracks. Press the Play Button to listen to music. When the disc has finished playing, the CD icon re-appears, as well as the total number of files/tracks (in Stop mode).

Playback Control

To momentarily pause playback for later resumption at the

same point, press the Play/Pause Button. Press it again to resume play. The Pause icon will be displayed. Press the Stop Button to fully stop playback.

•To search at high speed through the current track, press and hold the Skip/Scan Forward or Skip/Scan Reverse Button.

•To skip to the next track, tap the Skip/Scan Forward Button. If the current track is the last one on the disc, the MAS 100/MAS 110 will skip to the first track.

•To return to the beginning of the current track, tap the Skip/Scan Reverse Button. Tap it twice quickly to skip backwards to the previ- ous track.

•For random (shuffle) play, press the Random Button.

Data Discs

JPEG discs are not compatible with the MAS 100/MAS 110, and the display will indicate that they have no files and no folders. JPEG discs as well as DVD, WAV and other non-compatible discs are ejected automati- cally.

When an MP3 or WMA disc is loaded, the number of folders and tracks in the current folder will be displayed, up to a limit of 9999 tracks. Play does not begin automatically.

If ID3 tag information is present, the song, artist, name and album infor- mation will scroll in the Message Display. To view each item (plus folder name) individually, press the Info Button repeatedly. If no ID3 tags are present, the filename will appear.

The Skip and Scan functions and Random play are the same as for audio CDs Repeat is not available.
