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 cy- cle power.

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 Re- mote Control"...
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. Check your remote’s user manual for instructions on programming your remote control.
You must then teach the MAS3 to respond to the same set of alternate component codes. Programming your remote to different components The MAS3 will respond to eight different pre-programmed component codes, they are: Symphonic TV, Hatachi Satellite, Sony TV, Yamaha VCR, Go Video VCR, Awia DVD, Nakamichi Receiver and a Jerrold Cable Box.
ZEKTOR ZEKTOR ZEKTOR Searching for a component code in your remote Assuming you do not have a remote listed in this user manual you will have to follow your remote controls programming sequences to find a compatible component that the MAS3 understands, or you can go to the section "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.

ZEKTOR BLINKS ZEKTOR Remote Control Learning Caveats Some component’s control codes will work better than others. We’ve designed the MAS3 to work with a great majority of codes, however a few brands use non-standard ways of transmitting their component’s codes that may not be compatible with the MAS3. In these somewhat rare circum- stances you will have to program your remote control to a different manufacturer’s code, and/or use different buttons on your remote.
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: •...
The MAS3 power on default mode When toggling between Standby mode and PowerOn the MAS3 will remember all it’s current set- tings. After completely powering down the MAS3 (by unplugging the AC wall adapter), upon restor- ing 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.
