USB Port B: Connect a compatible USB device here to enjoy playback of audio MP3
or WMA files. Although most USB flash and hard-disk drives in the FAT32 file format,
as well as many MP3 players, are compatible with the MAS system, due to the wide
variety of manufacturers, playback cannot be guaranteed. Do not connect an iPod or
iPhone to this port. Do not connect a personal computer or any peripherals to this
port.

or coaxial digital audio output to the corresponding input. Only the uncompressed
PCM format is supported.

or any source device to enjoy playback through the high-performance MAS system.
Phono Input: Connect the outputs of a moving-magnet (MM) type turntable to this

outputs of an MM-type turntable to any other analog audio inputs on the MAS system
without using a phono preamp, available separately from many electronics stores.
The Bridge IIIP Input: To enjoy playback of audio materials stored on a compatible
iPod (see page 4), connect The Bridge IIIP. Make sure the insert for The Bridge IIIP is
installed, and install the appropriate dock adapter for your iPod within the insert, as
shown in Figure 1 on page 10.
Analog Audio Outputs: Connect these outputs to the analog audio inputs of an audio
recorder. When a source connected to the MAS system is playing, the signal will be
available at these outputs for recording.

corresponding connector on the MAS amplifier. This cable passes audio signals from
the controller to the amplifier, and it transfers DC power from the amplifier to the
controller. If this cable is ever damaged, do not use it, and contact Harman Kardon
for a replacement.
