MAS SYSTEM

Operation
DAB Tuner (MAS 111 Systems Only)
The MAS 111 system is equipped with a DAB/DAB+/T-DMB-Audio tuner for use with
compatible digital radio stations, where available.
The included DAB antenna must be connected to receive these stations.
Press the Radio Source Selector repeatedly to toggle between the FM and DAB bands.
The first time the DAB tuner is selected, the system will automatically scan for stations
and store them in the Station List. Press the Auto Store button at any time to repeat the
scan. Any stations found may be selected from the lower line using the 7/
3
buttons.
Then press the Enter button.
The DAB tuner uses a sophisticated menu. The menu may be accessed while a station is
playing by pressing the Info button. Use the 7/
3
buttons to select menu options:
Station List: Press the Enter button to view the stations found and select one for
playback.
Local Scan: Begin a scan for local stations.
Full Scan: Begin a full-spectrum scan for available stations.
Manual Tune: Manually select a DAB band.
DRC: Adjust dynamic-range-control audio compression, which reduces the level of
louder passages while maintaining intelligibility of softer passages. Select “High” or
“Low” compression, or select “Off” for no compression.
Station Order: Select whether stations are displayed in Alphanumeric, Valid or
Ensemble order.
CD
Press the Disc Source Selector to switch to the CD source. Then gently insert a CD,
CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 or WMA disc, label-side up, partway into the slot loader. The
mechanism will detect the disc and pull it the rest of the way in. Do not attempt to force
the disc. If the disc will not load, turn off the MAS system, unplug it and bring it to an
authorized Harman Kardon service center for inspection.
The “Reading” message will appear for a few moments while the MAS system identifies
the disc type.
NOTE: If the “Error” message appears, the disc is not compatible with the MAS
system, or its data may be damaged. Press the Eject button to remove it.
The Play icon will appear, along with the current track numbers and the elapsed track
time. When the disc has finished playing, the Stop icon will appear, with the total number
of tracks and total disc time.
Playback Control
To momentarily pause playback for later resumption at the same point, press the Play/
Pause button. Press it again to resume play. The Pause icon will be displayed. Press the
Stop button to fully stop playback.

Data Discs
JPEG discs are not compatible with the MAS system, and the display will indicate that
they have no files and no folders.
When an MP3 or WMA disc is loaded, the number of folders and tracks in the current
folder will be displayed, up to a limit of 9999 tracks. Play will begin automatically.
If ID3 tag information is present, the song, artist, album, file type and folder will scroll in
the message display. To view each item individually, press the Info button repeatedly. If
no ID3 tags are present, the file name will appear.
The Skip and Scan functions and Repeat and Random play are the same as for audio
CDs.
