Yamaha STANDBY/ON button: amber, STANDBY/ON button: red, MCX-2000 MCX-A10/MCX-C15, Active mode

When you press the power switch on a client, it immediately establishes a network connection with the MCX-2000 and enters active mode. (The corresponding CLIENT STATUS indicator lights up on the MCX-2000.) The client shows Top Menu in the backlit display, and gets ready to play a streamed song from the MCX-2000.

As mentioned above, even in sleep mode, the MCX-2000 can still respond to a request from any registered client. This is because the MCX-2000 maintains network connections with clients. As long as network connections are maintained, the MCX-2000 can continue streaming music to clients. In fact, clients can continue playing a streamed song if the MCX-2000 later enters sleep mode.

STANDBY/ON button: amber

If you hold down the STANDBY/ON button for more than 3 seconds when the MCX-2000 is in active or sleep mode, the indicator light turns red and the MCX-2000 enters standby mode, where the unit consumes less power. In standby mode, network activities between the MCX-2000 and clients stop. (All CLIENT STATUS indicators go off on the MCX-2000.) In this process, all active clients also enter sleep mode (Remote Sleep). They stop playing a streamed song (because of no network connection with the MCX-2000), and show the current time in the display without backlight. In sleep mode, clients wait for your operation and can awake the MCX-2000 to resume music streaming.

STANDBY/ON button: red

Let’s say, standby mode is deep sleep. When a client sends a request, the MCX-2000 in standby mode notices it and enters ‘lighter’ sleep mode. (The STANDBY/ON indicator light turns amber.) Otherwise, you can press the STANDBY/ON button to completely awake the MCX-2000 and make it enter active mode. (The STANDBY/ON indicator light turns green.) But, when the MCX-2000 directly enters active mode from standby mode, it first must re-establish network connections with clients, taking more time to resume network activities or music streaming.
