Registering an Internet Radio Station

The MCX-2000 comes with ﬁve Internet radio stations preassigned. But, not to mention, there’re hundreds of thousands of online radio stations all over the Internet, and you may already enjoy some of them on your computer. Now you can even add your favorite online radio stations to the MCX-2000 library, and enjoy them together with other audio sources.

1Select Top Menu > Library > Radio > Internet Radio, for the list of Internet radio sites.

Radio station name

3Specify a new radio site using the following two Submenu commands. Either command opens the character palette. So, you can type necessary text characters using the palette, or using a PS/2 keyboard connected to the MCX-2000 front panel (page 75).

Site URL

2Move the selection (highlight) to a column where you want to add a new Internet radio station. The site list can hold up to 40 online radio stations, so scroll through the list as required.

Edit Site title: Specify the radio station name here.

Edit URL: Specify the radio station site URL (server name) or IP address here. In either case, this parameter value must be speciﬁed starting with “http://” and ending with a slash (/), even though the column accepts any text character (no alert appears if text is invalid).

Clear this Site: Select this if you want to delete an existing Internet radio station registered at the current column. When a conﬁrmation dialog box appears, select OK if you’re sure. The column becomes unregistered.

nWhen you specify a radio station site with a URL, you should also specify at least one active DNS server for the MCX-2000 to successfully ﬁnd the speciﬁed site (page 37).

4Repeat steps 2 to 3 as required.

In addition to the above procedure, Internet radio stations can be registered or edited through a web browser (page 76). When you ﬁnd a new radio station on the web, simply copy its URL and paste it to the site list opened in a web browser.

nYou can overwrite an existing station. If the old station is registered to the Presets list (page 59), the new station replaces it when you select it from the Presets list.
