MCX-2000 Owner’s Manual
15
When you press the power switch on a client, it immediately establishes a network connection with the MCX-2000 and
enters active mode. (The corresponding CLIENT STATUS indicator lights up on the MCX-2000.) The client shows Top
Menu in the backlit display, and gets ready to play a streamed song from the MCX-2000.
As mentioned above, even in sleep mode, the MCX-2000 can still respond to a request from any registered client. This is
because the MCX-2000 maintains network connections with clients. As long as network connections are maintained, the
MCX-2000 can continue streaming music to clients. In fact, clients can continue playing a streamed song if the
MCX-2000 later enters sleep mode.
If you hold down the STANDBY/ON button for more than 3 seconds when the MCX-2000 is in active or sleep mode, the
indicator light turns red and the MCX-2000 enters standby mode, where the unit consumes less power. In standby mode,
network activities between the MCX-2000 and clients stop. (All CLIENT STATUS indicators go off on the MCX-2000.) In
this process, all active clients also enter sleep mode (Remote Sleep). They stop playing a streamed song (because of no
network connection with the MCX-2000), and show the current time in the display without backlight. In sleep mode,
clients wait for your operation and can awake the MCX-2000 to resume music streaming.
Let’s say, standby mode is deep sleep. When a client sends a request, the MCX-2000 in standby mode notices it and
enters ‘lighter’ sleep mode. (The STANDBY/ON indicator light turns amber.) Otherwise, you can press the STANDBY/ON
button to completely awake the MCX-2000 and make it enter active mode. (The STANDBY/ON indicator light turns
green.) But, when the MCX-2000 directly enters active mode from standby mode, it first must re-establish network
connections with clients, taking more time to resume network activities or music streaming.
n The MCX-2000 enters standby mode if it’s been idle (with no operation on the unit or no network activities) for one hour.
