The Submenu commands in the Play Information screen for the XM 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 XM radio control; the same buttons on the remote control don’t work either.

Direct Access: Lets you specify a radio station channel number in a dialog box (page 58).

Search Mode: Switches how you can search a radio station using the skip backward and forward buttons (see the following column).

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 playing on a client specified in a dialog box (page 90).

Channel Search and Direct Access

The MCX-2000 lets you search for the XM radio channel you want to listen to. There are two different search modes you can select from, depending on your preferences. You can also select a desired channel by directly entering the relevant channel number.

From the Submenu in the Play Information screen for XM radio, locate Search Mode and select one of the following options:

Search all channels

With this option selected, you can use the skip backward and forward buttons (b/a) to search for a radio station from all available channels.

Pressing either group selection button (–/+) lets you jump to the previous or next category, so that you can skip multiple channels at a time while searching for the desired station.
