Web Browser

If you’ve configured your MCX-2000 to be accessible from your PC network, you can edit existing text information in your music archive using a standard web browser that’s running on a computer in the PC network. Text information includes song data (artist name, album title, song title, etc.), playlist name, Internet radio station name and URL, as well as group and station names from the Presets radio list. This feature is very useful when you need to edit a large amount of text information.

To access the MCX-2000 music archive from a web browser, confirm the MCX-2000 IP address in the Server IP Address screen (page 100) and type that address in the URL area of your web browser window and press Enter key on your computer keyboard.
