This system is only being used in my bedroom so I do not need a MCP or a beolink. Is it possible to use&nbsp;functions&nbsp;like programming the systems with presets, wakeup times, and simple recording and volume control&nbsp;without&nbsp;the MCP or the Beolink?</p><p>Any Help Appreciated.</p><p>Chase&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
