Submenu is context-sensitive, so available menu commands may change depending on which screen or item you open the menu from. You can always do relevant operations to the current selection, such as song playback or record- ing when you open the Submenu from the CD song list screen. We urge you to check what commands are available from which item or screen every time you find “Submenu” in the lower right corner of a screen. In addition, you can always close the Submenu by pressing the left arrow button on the remote control, or by pushing the center stick left- ward on the front panel cursor controller.

nSome screens offer a context-sensitive menu guided with a different name (such as Fix), depending on their functions. But, you can operate all menu commands similarly.

You may see one or more guide icons at the bottom of each MCX-2000 screen. These allow you to perform certain operations by pressing guided buttons on the cursor controller. In most cases, you can return to the previous screen (left arrow button), open the Submenu (right arrow button) and move the highlight between items (up and down arrow buttons) on the cursor controller.

If a screen has setting options or other configurations, the MCX-2000 will show OK and Cancel at the bottom of the screen, asking your confirmation. In this case, you need to select either to exit from the screen. When you select OK (move your selection to OK and press the SELECT button), the MCX-2000 saves the current settings, and then you will return to the previous screen. When you select Cancel, setting changes (if any) are discarded, and then you will return to the previous screen.

Confirmation required

nOther special operations include typing text through a character palette (page 75).

In any case, you can perform most operations of the MCX-2000 using the cursor controller to simply move to a target item and select it. Simple and easy!

In addition, this manual describes menu operations to access a specific item in the order of ‘what you select next’.

For example, menu operations to the CD song list screen are described as: Top Menu > Library > CD. You can also refer to the MCX-2000 menu tree on the next page to locate each function.
