2Move the selection (highlight) to each parameter below and specify how you want both units to work together.

1Synchronize receiver power ON/OFF with the MCX-2000

Select ON if you want the AV receiver power modes to match those of the MCX-2000. With this parameter enabled, the AV receiver wakes up from standby mode at the same time when the MCX-2000 wakes up and enters active mode. When the MCX-2000 enters sleep or standby mode, the AV receiver enters standby mode as long as its current input selection matches the Receiver Input value speciﬁed below (therefore, when the AV receiver is ready to play or has been playing audio signals from the MCX-2000).

nYou cannot control the MCX-2000 power modes remotely from the AV receiver.

2Change surround program for each Genre played Select ON if you want to change surround programs on the AV receiver according to what music is played on the MCX-2000. With this parameter enabled, the Set Surround Program command is newly available in the Submenu of the genre list screen (see below), where you can specify which surround program is applied to music from a speciﬁc genre.

3Receiver input to which the MCX-2000 is connected

Select from the list an AV receiver input where you’ve connected the MCX-2000 audio output. This parameter is essential for integrated operations of the MCX-2000 and the AV receiver, so be sure to select the correct input name.

nThe MCX-2000 automatically recognizes the connected AV receiver and changes available values (AV receiver input names in the list).

3Select OK to save your settings. Now the MCX-2000 is ready for synchronized operations with the AV receiver.

If you’ve speciﬁed to link the MCX-2000 genres to the AV receiver surround programs, open the genre list screen by selecting Top Menu > Library > Music Archive > Genres.

Genre list screen

Move the selection (highlight) to each genre, and then select the Set Surround Program command from the Submenu. Specify a surround program from the list for the current genre. (Available surround program names are varied according to the AV receiver model that’s connected to the MCX-2000.)

4To conﬁrm integrated operations between the units, select the AV receiver’s current input for the MCX-2000 (Receiver input) and then try:

•Pressing the STANDBY/ON button

•Selecting a song from the music archive

nAutomatic selection of a surround program is possible only when you select an archived song, but the selected surround program is continuously applied to other audio sources as long as they’re output via the AV receiver. When the next (or previous) song is from a different genre, you may experience ‘longer’ silence between the songs, which comes from the AV receiver’s surround program switching and is normal.
