Dock for iPod, Or disconnecting The Bridge

OPERATION

Use the Numeric Keys to directly access a track. If the disc is organized into folders, press the Folder +/– Buttons to open a folder. Additional presses skip to the next or previous folder. Within a folder you may search through the tracks more quickly by pressing the +10 and –10 Numeric Keys.

USB

The MAS 100/MAS 110 is equipped with two USB Ports, one on the rear panel of the controller, and one on the right side panel, near the front of the controller. The front port is selected as USB A, and the rear port is USB B. Each press of the USB Source Selector toggles between the two ports.

The system is compatible with flash and hard-disk USB drives formatted in the FAT32 file format. The system will recognize up to 9999 files in the MP3 or WMA formats, which may be organized into folders.

NOTE: Although many MP3 music players may be connected to the USB Port, an iPod should not be connected here. To enjoy audio programs stored on an iPod, purchase The Bridge II docking station (included with the some versions of MAS 110 system), connect it to its proprietary connector on the controller and dock the iPod. Do not connect a personal computer or any peripherals to either USB Port.

When installing the system, make sure to leave sufficient room on the right side to safely accommodate a USB device.

When the USB device is inserted, the total number of files will be dis- played after a delay to allow the device to be read.

Playback and navigation are the same as for an audio or data CD, as described above.

It is recommended that you stop playback before removing a USB device, although it is not necessary to turn off the system.
