Selecting the Client Audio Source

Furthermore, when selecting a client by pressing the SELECT
button on the remote control, you can specify the audio
source to be streamed to that client in the following screen.
Client source menu screen
This menu screen has two sections, where you can specify
the audio source to be streamed to the selected client.
Select one of three audio sources under Library: Music
Archive, Radio and Inputs.
When selecting Music Archive, you can browse and select
archived songs or playlists from seven distinct categories
through the familiar Music Archive menu interface (page 46).

When selecting Radio, the MCX-2000 shows the Presets
radio station list. You can select a preset FM station for the
selected client in the same manner as for the MCX-2000
(page 60).
Client currently selected
When selecting Inputs, you can access the Inputs menu
(page 63). Of course, audio signals from these input jacks
are shared between the MCX-2000 and all clients. You can
select a different input for each client, and the MCX-2000
can stream both digital and analog input signals to different
clients at the same time.
Client currently selected
For detailed procedure and notes, refer to the relevant
sections in "Playing Audio Sources" (page 46).
n As a general rule, you should note that archived 'on-demand' songs
can be separately selected and streamed to clients. But, incoming
'relayed' sources such as radio and input signals are shared with all
clients (and MCX-2000) and, therefore, have some limitations in
streaming:
A single FM radio station is shared between the MCX-2000 and
all clients. Naturally, the built-in FM tuner receives a single station at a
time, so it tunes in to the FM station last selected. If the MCX-2000 (or
other client) is playing an FM broadcast program and a second unit
selects another FM station, the server (as well as all other clients)
immediately starts playing the last selected station.
Internet radio stations cannot be 'selected' from clients. If you
attempt to select an Internet radio station from the Presets list, it's
shown in gray indicating it's unavailable for clients. However, you can
still stream Internet radio programs by broadcasting them to any
selected clients. (Select an Internet radio station on the MCX-2000
and start broadcasting using the relevant Submenu command in the
Play Information screen.)
