radio signals may interfere with or block the wireless
network signals from the MusicCAST system.
The MCX-2000 is set not to access the Gracenote
CDDB

Gracenote CDDB.
The MCX-2000 cannot access the Internet-based
Gracenote CDDB service even though it is set to do
so.
The MusicCAST supports languages in compliance
with ISO-8859-1 standards. Data that is not in
accordance with these standards does not display
correctly.
The hard disk drive is full.
The MCX-2000 is set to Synch. Recording for signals
from external inputs.
You are attempting to select songs for which only
MP3 files exist.
The MCX-2000 is already recording something other
than the item you are attempting to select.
The current analog input level setting is not
appropriate.
The MusicCAST is recording from an external input.
Another operator is changing sources.
You are using a "straight" RS-232 cable.
You have not set the MCX-2000 to change AV
receiver settings.
The AV receiver 6 channel input parameter, is set to
"ON".
The power cable has been disconnected from an AC
outlet for more than 6 hour.
MP3 songs are encoded individually.
The external component is not connected correctly.

MCX-2000 from too far away. You are not aiming the
remote controller at the MCX-2000.
Bright light (such as sunlight or light from a
fluorescent lamp) is striking the remote control
sensor.
The current state of your network (wired or wireless) is
preventing smooth playback.
The MCX-2000 is doing too many tasks, such as
streaming to multiple clients (including streaming
PCM data), recording or importing music, editing a
name or title using the PS/2 keyboard, etc., at the
same time.
Remedy
Try using a different wireless network channel, or use
a wired network connection.
Place your MusicCAST components under a different
subnet.
Relocate your client, or use a wired network
connection to connect the client to the MCX-2000.
Set the MCX-2000 to access the Gracenote CDDB.
The built-in Gracenote CDDB database on the
MCX-2000 may not contain data on some CDs. Set
the MCX-2000 to access the Gracenote CDDB via the
Internet (note: connect the MCX-2000 to the Internet
first).
Check the network settings.
Edit the text manually.
Delete any songs you do not need, or delete PCM
versions of songs.

Set The server to change AV receiver settings.
Set the AV receiver 6 channel setting to "OFF".
The MCX-2000 holds backup data for no longer than
6 hour after the power cable is disconnected from the
AC outlet. Disconnecting it for longer than this will
reset the internal clock. Reconnect the power cable
within one minute of disconnection.
This is not a defect in the MCX-2000.
Connect the component correctly.
Check the CD, and replace it if necessary.
Connect the stereo pin cables firmly.
Replace both batteries with new ones.
