Listening to Internet Radio
In addition to retrieving the latest CD information from the
online CDDB database (page 53) and accurate date and
time data from a public time server (page 91), the MCX-2000
can also receive online radio broadcasts by accessing to the
Internet. Since the MCX-2000 comes with several Internet
radio sites preassigned, you can enjoy listening to online
radio programs right away once you’ve set up the unit for
Internet access (page 31).
n The MCX-2000 only supports Internet radio stations that stream
music and audio in MP3 format.
1 From the Radio menu screen (page 54), select Internet
Radio. A list of Internet radio sites is shown in the screen.
2
Move the selection (highlight) to the desired Internet radio
station, and then press the SELECT or Play button on the
remote control or select the Play command from the Submenu
.
n Other Submenu commands, such as Edit Site title, Edit URL and
Clear this Site, let you newly register or edit an Internet radio site
(page 84).
3 The Play Information screen appears. The MCX-2000
accesses the specified Internet radio site and starts
receiving its radio stream. Use the skip forward or
backward button (
b/a) on the remote control to select
the next or previous radio station from the above site list.
The Submenu menu commands in the Play Information
screen for the Internet radio:
Playback:
Provides the same tuning and playback control
functions as available on the remote control. So, you can
control these functions using the cursor controller on the front
panel or from a PS/2 keyboard (only with cursor and enter
keys). On-screen buttons shown in gray provide no function for
Internet radio control; the same buttons on the remote control
don’t work either.
Save to Preset: Registers the current radio station to the
Presets list in two steps (page 59).
Broadcast: Streams a radio program currently being
received on the MCX-2000 to MusicCAST clients specified in
a dialog box (page 89).
Recall Play: Makes the MCX-2000 start ‘continued’
playback of a song currently playing on a client specified in a
dialog box (page 90).
Using the Presets List
The Presets list is where you can store up to 100 radio
stations in 10 groups (up to 10 stations per group).
Once you’ve registered your favorite stations in the Play
Information screen, you can select and tune in to them right
away or manage the list by editing each group and station
name. In addition, you can use the Presets list to register
available FM stations through an auto scanning process for
your own FM Presets list.
n The timer playback feature lets you start playing a specific radio
station at a specific time (page 97). If you want to use this feature, first
register that radio station in the Presets list.
Registering a Radio Station to the Presets List
Regardless of the radio type, you can register your favorite
radio stations to the Presets list directly from each radio’s
Play Information screen. First, open the Play Information
screen with a radio station you want to register, following the
procedure explained in each radio section.
n When you want to quickly register a number of FM stations, use the
FM Auto Preset command (page 62).
