Introduction and Features  
More than 50 years ago, Harman Kardon sold the very first audio receiver, a high-  
performance component that combined the functions of several products that previously  
had only been available separately. Our mission was and is to deliver high-fidelity sound  
in an easy-to-use package, and we are confident that you will enjoy the quality and  
convenience of the MAS 101/MAS 102/MAS 111 music system for many years to come.  
To obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new system, we urge you to read this  
manual and refer back to it to familiarize yourself with the features and operation of the

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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Volume Control  
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.  
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.  
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 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.

MAS SYSTEM  
Operation  
NOTES:  
• Only connect a turntable with an MM-type cartridge to the Phono Input. Do not  
connect a turntable to any other input without using a phono preamp.  
• When one of the digital audio inputs is selected, if no signal is present – e.g.,  
if the device is turned off or paused – the “UNLOCK” message will appear. This  
does not reflect a problem; it is simply an indication that no signal is present.  
Recording  
Two-channel analog and digital audio signals are normally available at the Coaxial  
Output and Line Output on the rear panel of the controller. The MAS system can convert  
one type of signal to the other. Thus, to make a recording, you need only make sure to  
connect your audio recorder to the preferred output jacks, insert blank media and make  
sure the recorder is turned on and recording while the source is playing.

any material you record. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials is  
prohibited by law in most jurisdictions.
