The MCR-142 is equipped with Yamaha's IntelliAlarm technology. IntelliAlarm wakes you up gently by increasing music 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-142 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.

Flexible Style
With its compact size, solid steel panels and user-friendly controls, the MCR-B142 is designed to fit on furniture or shelves in the home or office. The speakers can either be placed adjacent to the main unit or can be moved apart, enabling more flexible arrangements.

The MCR-B142 lets you dock your iPod or iPhone, listen to AM/FM radio and connect your iPad or USB device to the front-panel USB port. It also features a slot-in type CD player and an auxiliary audio input, which allows you to connect a wide range of other sources.
Bluetooth Wireless Music Streaming
The MCR-B142 supports Bluetooth music streaming, so you can enjoy music wirelessly from your smartphone, tablet or other compatible Bluetooth device. You can put the system wherever you want it and use your smartphone as you usually do to operate the playback functions. The wireless transmission range is 32.8' (10m).
Powerful Sound
Employing powerful 4.5" full-range drivers in large-volume speaker cabinets, the MCR-B142 delivers exceptional acoustic performance from a compact system. You'll hear deep, rich bass, clear midrange and bright high notes. Plus, digital docking ensures high-quality audio connectivity with iPod/iPhone devices.
Compressed Music Enhancer
Designed for MP3 files and other similar formats, Yamaha's Compressed Music Enhancer restores the dynamic performance of compressed audio files and delivers sound that has a greater feeling of expansiveness.
IntelliAlarm & DTA Controller App
Yamaha's IntelliAlarm wakes you up gently by increasing music volume from your iPod or iPhone gradually over several minutes until the beep goes off. By installing the Yamaha DTA Controller App for your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad, you can adjust the settings of the alarm simply and easily. The app requires iOS 4.3 or higher.
CD Text Display
CD Text Display gives you information about the CD currently playing right on the CD player's display. The 3-mode text display shows the CD's title, the artists name and the title of the track.

There is an AUX jack input in the back - 3.5 mini plug cable. With a little of configuring, it should work as you can play AUX audio from another source.

question

Is there a way to connect the speakers to the middle part so one could easily carry it from place to place?
Asked by: Anonymous
There is no safe means of connecting the speakers to the mani unit.There also is no handle on the main unit, so this is not portable like a boom box.Howeve, consider using a large servimg tray with handles on the side.That would allow safe tranport of the entire system at once.Good luck!
