To enjoy audio content stored on an iPod, use the included The Bridge IIIP docking station. Connect The Bridge IIIP to its proprietary connector on the controller’s rear panel and dock the iPod in The Bridge IIIP as shown on page 10. Do not connect a personal computer or any peripherals to either of your MAS system’s USB ports.
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 displayed 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.
