In either dialog box, you can specify a ‘source’ system for continued playback (whose current song and the current playback point will be relayed to the ‘destination’ system—a MusicCAST system you’re operating). Keep this in mind especially when you’re remotely operating a client and specify another client as the source system.

nIf you attempt to relay an Internet radio station currently played on the MCX-2000 to one of MusicCAST client, you will see the “Playback unavailable” message on that client. See also the previous note (for the Broadcast feature).
