MAS SYSTEM 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 Your MAS system 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 you can connect many different MP3 music players to the USB port, you should not connect an iPod here. 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. Programmed Play Playlists of selected tracks may be programmed for the current audio or data CD or USB device. Playlists are not available for other sources. To program a playlist, play must be stopped. s0RESS THE 0ROGRAM BUTTON TO BEGIN 0ROGRAM MODE 4O EXIT WITHOUT PROGRAMMING A playlist, press the Stop button. s!DD TRACKS TO THE PLAYLIST BY USING THE 3KIP3CAN 4RANSPORT #ONTROLS OR THE NUMERIC keys to select the track, then pressing the Program button to enter the selection.

The display will switch to the navigation menus, and the menu screen on the iPod itself will be replaced by a "check mark" graphic and a message reading "OK to Disconnect."

The song, artist and album information will scroll on the lower line, if available. It is recommended that you stop playback before undocking the iPod, although it is not necessary to turn off the system. However, the system should be turned off before connecting or disconnecting The Bridge IIIP. Auxiliary Inputs Your MAS system is equipped with three analog audio inputs, a phono input (MM type) and four digital audio inputs. If you have connected a compatible device, such as a portable audio player or a cassette deck, select the corresponding auxiliary input as the source and use the device's own controls. To select one of the analog audio inputs or the phono input, press the Line In button repeatedly to toggle through the inputs. To select one of the coaxial or optical digital audio inputs, press the Digital In button repeatedly.
