OPERATION
Use the Numeric Keys to directly access a track. If the disc is organized
into folders, press the /– 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.

Check Button repeatedly until the desired track appears. Press the
Clear Button.

When a compatible iPod is docked (see page 4), a message will appear
in the front-panel display that The Bridge II is connected.
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 mes-
sage reading “OK to Disconnect.”

tus. The upper line of the Message Display will show the elapsed track

although it is not necessary to turn off the system. However, the system
should be turned off before connecting
or disconnecting The Bridge II.
