MAS SYSTEM

Operation

At the set time, the MAS system will automatically turn on and begin playing the selected source. The system will play at the volume selected at the Level setting of the Alarm Setup menu, and will continue to play for the period specified by the Timeout setting.

Press the Power button or the Sleep button to place the unit in Snooze mode. It will remain off for the period of time set by the Snooze setting, and then the alarm will resume.

Press the Power button twice while the alarm is playing to turn it off and return to normal play.

Volume Control

Use the front-panel or remote Volume Controls to raise or lower the volume. The default setting at turn-on is –50dB, and the maximum setting is +10dB. Use caution with vol- ume levels to avoid damage to your hearing or equipment. The volume level appears in the message display when the Volume Controls are used.

To temporarily silence playback, press the Mute button on the remote. “Mute” will flash in the message display. Press the Mute button or Volume Control to resume normal volume. Source playback will continue during muting.

Source Selection

The first time the MAS system is turned on, it will default to FM radio. Press a Source Selector to switch to another source: Disc, USB, DMP (iPod docked in The Bridge IIIP), Radio, Line In (additional presses select an analog audio input) or Digital In (additional presses select a coaxial or optical digital audio input).

Subsequently, the MAS system will select the last source used before turn-off.

FM Radio

Press the Track Skip Up/Down buttons on the remote to tune a station. Press and hold the buttons to scan for the next station, or tap the buttons to scan one frequency incre- ment at a time.

When using the front-panel controls, the combined Skip/Scan buttons select pro- grammed preset stations when tapped, and scan the frequency band for a station of acceptable signal strength when pressed and held.

Monaural stations, or weak stereo stations, will be played in mono (one channel). Press the FM Mode button to switch between Stereo and Monaural playback.

If the station is broadcasting RDS information, both the Program Service (PS) and dynamic Radio Text (RT) will be displayed. Press the Info button to display the station frequency on the upper line and toggle between the Program Service (PS) and dynamic Radio Text (RT) displays on the lower line. When no RDS information is available, only the frequency will be displayed.

Program Station Presets

To scan for all available local stations and store them as presets, press the Auto Store button. The system will scan for stations with acceptable signal strength and automati- cally store them in order in one of the 30 presets.

To program a single preset for quick access to a favorite station, tune to the station’s frequency and press the Program/Memory button. The preset number will appear. Press the Enter button to store the station in that preset location, or use the numeric keys to enter a different preset.

If a different station was previously programmed, it will be overwritten by the new station. If all 30 presets have been programmed, you must overwrite or erase one to program a new station preset.

To erase a preset, select the station for playback and press the Clear button. Press the Enter button as prompted to confirm the deletion.

To select a preset station, use the preset +/– buttons, or use the numeric keys to enter the preset directly.
