Language

1From the User Interface menu, select Language.

2You have just one parameter, Language, for this setting. Select your preferred user interface language from the list.

3When you select OK, the “Saving...” message is shown. When you return to the User Interface menu, confirm the language has changed. The MCX-2000 afterward uses the language specified here to show text messages in each operation screen (and the front panel display).

PS/2 Keyboard

1From the User Interface menu, select Language.

2You have just one parameter, Keyboard Type, for this setting. Select from the list the language type of your PS/2 keyboard that’s to be connected to the PS/2 port on the MCX-2000 front panel.

3When you select OK, the “Saving...” message is shown. The MCX-2000 afterward recognizes a PS/2 keyboard connected to the PS/2 port, as specified here.

nBe sure to connect your PS/2 keyboard while the MCX-2000 is in sleep or standby mode. If you connect it while the MCX-2000 is active, both units may be damaged. If your keyboard is already connected, the selected keyboard type immediately becomes valid. (You don’t need to restart the MCX-2000.)

Selecting Playback Options

Select any desired audio source at any time, or program your own playlists with any combination of songs from the music archive — these are the best part of listening experience on the MCX-2000. You can use two playback options to make such listening experience, literally, more seamless.

1Select Top Menu > Setup > Playback.

2Change each parameter value as needed.

1At power ON, automatically start playback of the last song played

With this parameter set to ON, the MCX-2000 automatically starts playing the last played (or selected) song when it wakes up from sleep or standby mode. With OFF, automatic playback doesn’t occur (factory setting).

nThe last ‘song’ is namely the last ‘audio source’ played or selected. With this parameter set to ON, the MCX-2000 memorizes what was selected or played from which audio source. For example, if the last song was from the music archive, the MCX-2000 remembers which category, group or playlist the current song has been selected from. If the last audio source is the radio, the unit remembers which radio station and which radio type was selected. If the last song was from a CD, the unit remembers which track from what CD was played. In fact, automatic playback will occur only when the same audio source is ‘still’ available when the MCX-2000 becomes active.

So, automatic playback will not occur if you have set a second CD after listening the first and, without selecting or playing from the second, put the MCX-2000 in standby mode, and then awake the unit back again.

2Adjust the volume level automatically

With this parameter set to ON, the MCX-2000 plays archived songs at an average volume level. You can use this parameter to compensate the volume difference of songs from different artists, albums or genres when playing them together. But, there may be cases a loud rock song is turned down or a calm classical tune becomes loud. With OFF, the MCX-2000 plays each archived song at its original volume level (factory setting).

nVolume change with this parameter is valid only with playback on the MCX-2000, and this parameter setting doesn’t affect streamed music to clients. (Each client has a similar parameter at Setup > Auto Level Control.)

3When you select OK, the “Saving...” message is shown. The MCX-2000 afterward plays archived songs as specified here.
