Yamaha MCX-2000 setup guide Listening to Internet Radio, Using the Presets List

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).

nThe MCX-2000 only supports Internet radio stations that stream music and audio in MP3 format.

1From the Radio menu screen (page 54), select Internet Radio. A list of Internet radio sites is shown in the screen.

Radio station name

Site URL

2Move 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.

nOther 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).

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.

nThe 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.

3The 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.

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.

nWhen you want to quickly register a number of FM stations, use the FM Auto Preset command (page 62).
