Using the MS 100 is simple and intuitive.
Using the Remote Control
Point the remote at the front of the MS 100. The remote IR
sensor is located in the middle of the front panel, behind the
mesh grille, about 25mm above the CD slot. Do not block the
sensor. The remote has a range of approximately 6m, up to
30 degrees off center. If the batteries require replacement, see
Step 2 of the Installation section. Use caution and dispose of
batteries according to environmental requirements. Never throw
the batteries into fire, and remove them from the remote if it
will be unused for a long period of time.

Before turning the unit on, set the clock: Press the Clock Adjust
Mode Button on the remote, and use the

correct hour and minute settings when they flash. To change
between AM and PM, increase or decrease the hour setting. Use

Turning On the MS 100
To turn on the MS 100, press the Power On Button on the
remote, or press the On/Standby Button on the main unit.
The FM Radio will begin to play.
Setting the Alarm
For automatic turn-on at a programmed time, set the alarm.
First, press the Standby Button to turn the unit off; the alarm
may not be set while the unit is on.
Press the Alarm Adjust Mode Button on the remote, and use
the
/ Buttons to set the alarm time (hour and minute set-
tings) and alarm source (FM radio, CD player, iPod in dock)
as they flash. To change between AM and PM, increase or
decrease the hour setting. Use the
/ Buttons to move the
cursor to the previous or next setting. To arm the alarm, use
the
/ Buttons to change the Alarm message to “Alarm On”,
and press the Alarm Adjust Mode Button again when you are
finished. The Timer indicator will appear in the Message Display
when the alarm has been set. See Figure 2.
At the set time, the MS 100 will automatically turn on and begin
playing the selected source. If CD or iPod was selected and
there is no disc loaded or iPod docked, the MS 100 will switch
to the FM radio source.
Play will begin at volume level 8, and steadily increase to a
volume level of 20 within 3 minutes. It will continue to play
at level 20 for 45 minutes, and then shut off automatically.
Press any key to place the unit in Snooze mode. It will remain
off for 9 minutes, then the alarm will resume.
Press and hold the Standby Button while the alarm is playing
to turn it off and return to normal play.
Volume Control
Use the front-panel or remote Volume Controls to raise or lower
the volume. The default setting at turn-on is 8, and the maxi-
mum setting is 30. Use caution with volume levels to avoid
damage to your hearing or equipment. The volume level appears
in the Message Display when the Volume Controls are used.
To temporarily silence playback, press the Mute Button on the
remote, or simultaneously press the front-panel Volume Up and
Down Buttons. “Mute” will flash in the Message Display. Press
the Mute Button or either Volume Control to resume normal
volume. Source playback will continue during muting.
Source Selection
The first time the MS 100 is turned on, it will default to FM
Radio. Each press of the Source Selector switches to the next
source in this order: FM, CD, AUX LINE IN 1 (rear-panel 3.5mm
analog input), AUX LINE IN 2 (front panel), AUX LINE IN 3 (rear-
panel dual RCA jacks), AUX DIGITAL IN, iPod.
Subsequently, the MS 100 will select the last source used
before turn-off.
FM Radio
Press the Tuning Mode Button to select Automatic or Manual
tuning. The AUTO indicator appears when Auto tuning is active.
In Auto tuning mode, pressing the Tuning Up or Down controls
causes the tuner to scan in the selected direction for a signal
with acceptable strength, then stop. The tuner will also stop if
you press the Tuning controls.
In Manual tuning mode, each press of the Tuning Up or Down
controls causes the tuner to move to the next frequency in the
selected direction.
