Bluetooth® Wireless Music Streaming

The MCR-B142 supports Bluetooth music streaming, allowing you to enjoy music wirelessly from your smartphone, tablet or other compatible Bluetooth device. Put your system wherever you want it, and use your smartphone as you usually do to operate the playback functions.
Stunning Sound From a Compact System

Employing powerful 4-1/2” drivers in large-volume speaker cabinets, the MCR-B142 delivers exceptional acoustic performance from a compact system, with deep, robust bass and clear mids and highs. Digital docking ensures high-quality audio connectivity with iPod and iPhone devices, and Yamaha’s Compressed Music Enhancer restores the performance of compressed audio files (e.g. MP3 files) to deliver sound that is more dynamic and has a greater feeling of expansiveness.
DTA Controller App for Extra Convenience

Yamaha’s IntelliAlarm™ wakes you up gently by increasing music 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/iPad and Android™ devices you can adjust the settings of the alarm simply and easily. You can also set the alarm time differently for each day of the week.
The app will be periodically updated for additional functionality.

Technology
Bluetooth®

Bluetooth® is a technology for wireless communication between devices within an area of about 33 ft employing the 2.4 GHz frequency band, a band which can be used without a license.
The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by Bluetooth® SIG, Inc.
CD Text Display

Get 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.
USB

This unit is equipped with a USB port that allows you to enjoy WAV (PCM format only), MP3 and WMA audio files from a USB memory device (USB flash drive).
IntelliAlarm

Ease into your day with a new approach to waking up. Yamaha's IntelliAlarm wakes you gently with the audio source of your choosing, first filtering out uncomfortable high frequencies, then gradually restoring the full audio spectrum before beeping to ensure you are awake.
iPod Digital Connection

iPod digital connection means that the digital signal from the iPod is transmitted directly to the system, minimising noise interference and allowing use of the DAC not in the iPod, but in the system. This results in more precise sound reproduction.
