A MAS3 Overview Operating the MAS3 is straight forward and simply a matter of plugging the MAS3’s power supply into an available A.C. outlet, and then plugging the MAS3’s power supply into the back of the MAS3. To operate the MAS3 manually, press the power switch, located on the very left of the MAS3 to cycle power. Press any one of the three channel switches to switch the MAS3 to the selected channel.
Using the MAS3 with a Remote Control Remote operations of the MAS3 are accomplished through the use of just about any remote control. A remote control is not supplied with the MAS3, yet the versatile programming modes of the MAS3 allows the MAS3 to work with virtually any remote control. The next section "Programming your Remote Control" on page 5, describes how to setup your remote controller. After your remote control is programmed the following describes the pre-programmed functions of the MAS3.
Programming your Remote Control Setting up your Universal Remote Control For remote control operations, the MAS3 requires either a Universal Remote control to be programmed as one of eight pre-programmed devices, or alternatively, the MAS3 can be taught to use most existing remote controls. The simplest way begin using the MAS3, is to program your Universal Remote control to act like a Symphonic TV. Once this is done you will be able to immediately start using your MAS3.
Using Different Remote Codes Using Alternate Component Keys on your Remote The MAS3 will also respond to alternate component key codes. Allowing you to use an unused TV, VCR, RCVR or one of the added AUX positions many remotes include. Setting up the MAS3 to respond to alternate component codes is a two step process. You must first program your universal remote control to behave as one of the components in the following table.
STEP 1 ZEKTOR 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 STEP 2 ZEKTOR STEP 3 ZEKTOR 1 Place the MAS3 in standby mode. This is the factory default mode on power up, and if it has not been changed, you can unplug the MAS3 and plug it back in and it will power up in standby mode (at this point only the power indicator light is lit and glowing RED). If the MAS3 does not power up in standby mode, follow the steps given in "Restoring the MAS3 to Factory Defaults" on page 13.
Learning New Remote Codes Teaching the MAS3 to use new remote control keys If your remote does not have one of the pre-programmed component codes, or you simply want to re-map the MAS3 functions to other keys on your remote, the MAS3 can be taught to use new keys. To teach the MAS3 to respond to new keys, you need to have the remote control(s) you want to use ready, and setup in the manner you want it to be used. STEP 1 1 Place the MAS3 in standby mode.

STEP 4 ZEKTOR 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for SELECTIN2. 1 BLINK 5 The Power indicator blinks slowly, and input 3 is selected. STEP 5 ZEKTOR Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for SELECTIN3. 1 BLINK 6 After a pause, the Power indicator blinks 2 times, and repeats.
11 After a pause, the Power indicator blinks 7 times, and repeats. STEP 11 ZEKTOR 1 2 3 1 2 3 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for POWEROFF. 7 BLINKS STEP 12 ZEKTOR 12 The MAS3 will return to the standby mode indicating a return to normal operations. The newly programmed codes will now operate your MAS3. Remote Control Learning Caveats Some component’s control codes will work better than others.
Bright / Dim / Auto-dimming Modes Setting the Display intensity modes of the MAS3 The front panel display of the MAS3 can be set to Bright, Dim or an Auto-dimming mode where the display brightens for 4 seconds after any function is selected and then auto-dims. Setting the mode is simply a matter of toggling between the three modes: • Bright Mode. When pressing the SETDIMMODE key to toggle to this state, the display will turn bright and remain that way. • Dim Mode.
Setting Power On Defaults The MAS3 power on default mode When toggling between Standby mode and PowerOn the MAS3 will remember all it’s current settings. After completely powering down the MAS3 (by unplugging the AC wall adapter), upon restoring power (by plugging the AC wall adapter back in), it will power up in a user settable default mode. This is useful in situations where the MAS3 is externally switched by a power strip.
Restoring the MAS3 to Factory Defaults Restoring the MAS3 to the factory defaults There are many ways to program the MAS3’s remote capabilities. Most learning modes require the MAS3 to be in standby mode before learning can begin. If the remote used to control the MAS3 were to be lost, and the MAS3 were programmed to power on during initial power up (as described in "Setting Power On Defaults" on page 12), there would be no way to reprogram the MAS3 to accept new remote control codes.
