The Submenu commands in the Play Information screen for the Preset radio stations:

Playback: Provides the same playback control functions as available on the remote control. Group selection (–/+) and skip backward and forward (b/a) buttons can be used to switch radio stations registered in the Presets list (as explained in the following column). On-screen buttons shown in gray provide no function for the currently selected radio station; the same buttons on the remote control don’t work either.

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).

Since the MCX-2000 remembers which radio station is last played (selected) at multiple levels—for each group, and for the entire Presets list, you can quickly access radio stations you frequently listen to.

If you use groups (at least) to categorize radio stations with a speciﬁc theme (such as genre), you can conveniently switch themes using the group selection buttons (+/–) while selecting radio stations categorized with each theme using the skip backward and forward buttons (b/a).
