The orange Yamaha MCR-042 Micro Component System supports a variety of audio sources. It features a 30-pin digital iPod/iPhone dock, a slot-in type CD player and an AM/FM radio. For alternative wired connectivity methods, there is an auxiliary audio jack for listening to portable audio devices including laptops, smartphones, MP3 players and more. The MCR-042 is equipped with a USB port as well, which you can use to play WAV (PCM format only), MP3 and WMA audio files from a USB memory device or flash drive.
The MCR-042 is equipped with Yamaha's IntelliAlarm technology. IntelliAlarm wakes you up gently by increasing the music volume from your compatible iPod or iPhone gradually over several minutes until the beep goes off. Plus, by installing the Yamaha DTA Controller App on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you can adjust the settings of the alarm quickly and easily. The MCR-042 stereo sound is produced from dual 4.5" full-range drivers that generate deep bass, as well as clear midrange and high notes. The system features Yamaha's Compressed Music Enhancer as well, which restores the feeling of expansiveness and dynamic range to compressed audio files.
