Yamaha MCX-2000 setup guide Adding a Bookmark to a Song, Play Information and Controls

Adding a Bookmark to a Song

Starting from one of the four categories in the Music Archive menu, you can continue sifting and finally reach a song-level list view. Press the BOOKMARK button on the remote control, or select Bookmark from the Tool menu. A sky-blue arrow appears at the left of a song name that’s currently selected. It’s the bookmark.

You can use the bookmark to mark songs for your specific purpose, such as ‘Theme Songs for My Life’ or ‘Songs for the Next Party’ or anything you want. To remove the bookmark, once again move the selection (highlight) to the song and press the BOOKMARK button on the remote control or select Bookmark from the Submenu.

You can see a list of bookmarked songs by selecting Bookmarks from the Music Archive menu.

From this list, you can selectively play bookmarked songs. The Submenu commands let you view detailed information for the current song, open its source album, organize the current bookmark list by removing the bookmark from the current song (the current song will disappear from the list), and even save the current list as a new playlist (by naming it as ‘Theme Songs for My Life’ if you like). In addition, you can arrange the song order by editing the stored playlist.

nBecause you can also add or remove the bookmark using the relevant Submenu command in the Play Information screen, you can decide to add or remove it while listening to each archived song.

Play Information and Controls

When you start playback of archived music from a group list (a list view of artists, albums, genres or all songs), a Play Information screen appears. This screen provides the unique song data of the current song, such as the song title, audio format, source album, performing artist and genre, as well as the group from which you started playback. (Song data will be shown in a different order depending on where song playback is started.)

The Submenu commands in the Play Information screen for archived songs:

Playback: Provides the same playback control functions as available on the remote control. So, you can control the song playback simply using the cursor controller on the front panel or from a PS/2 keyboard (only with cursor and enter keys).

Group selection buttons (+/–) only work when you can access the next or previous group, such as other albums from the same artist or genre. On-screen group selection buttons turn gray and don’t work if you start playback from All Songs.

Repeat: Select the repeat playback mode. Select Single ( ) to repeat a single song from the current group, or All

( ) to repeat all songs from the current group. Select OFF to stop repeat playback.

Random: Turns the random playback mode on or off.

Group: Select Single to play only the current group, or All to play all other groups in the same category.

Time view: Switches the playback time display between elapsed or remaining time.

Bookmark: Adds or removes the bookmark to the current song.
