Every time you press the skip backward or forward button (b/a), you can manually decrease or increase the frequency to search for an available station.

Manual tuning

The Submenu commands in the Play Information screen for the FM radio:

Playback: Provides the same tuning and playback control functions as available on the remote control. So, you can control these functions using the cursor controller on the front panel or from a PS/2 keyboard (only with cursor and enter keys). On-screen buttons shown in gray provide no function for the FM radio; the same buttons on the remote control don’t work either.

Save to Preset: Registers the current radio station to the Presets list in two steps (page 59).

Broadcast: Streams a radio program currently being received on the MCX-2000 to MusicCAST clients specified in a dialog box (page 89).

Recall Play: Makes the MCX-2000 start ‘continued’ playback of a song currently played on a client specified in a dialog box (page 90).
