Listening to a Radio Broadcast

Before listening to the radio on the MCX-2000, you need to
do some preparation for each radio type—connecting the
supplied antenna for the FM radio (page 4), or making the
MCX-2000 accessible to the Internet, if you want to listen to
Internet radio broadcasts (page 31). In addition, if you're a
US resident and want to listen to a radio program from XM
Satellite Radio, you also need to connect a third-party XM
'Connect-and-Play' antenna (sold separately) to an
MCX-2000 US model and become a subscription member
of XM radio (as described in the XM radio section). Once you
complete these preparations, you can start listening to a
radio broadcast, regardless of where it's from—FM, Internet
or XM (US model only).
1 Select Top Menu > Library > Radio to open the following
Radio menu screen.
Radio menu
FM
Select this for an FM broadcast. Use the Submenu
command to directly play the current selection (the last
selected FM radio station).

XM (US model only)

Select this for an XM radio program. Use the Submenu
command to directly play the current selection (the last
selected XM radio station).

Internet Radio

Select this for an Internet radio broadcast. Use the Submenu
command to directly play the current selection (the last
selected Internet radio station).
Presets
Select this when you want to choose a preset radio station
from the list. The MCX-2000 lets you register up to 100 radio
stations in 10 groups (up to 10 stations per group). Use the
Submenu command to directly play the current selection (the
last selected preset radio station).
n You can directly start playing the last selected radio station from FM,
Internet Radio or XM (US model only) by pressing the RADIO button
on the remote control or on the MCX-2000 front panel. This operation
simply switches the playback source on the MCX-2000 to Radio, and
doesn't affect playback source on each client (except while the
MCX-2000 is broadcasting). Every time you press the RADIO button,
the radio type cycles through FM, XM, Internet Radio and Presets
with the last selected station for each radio type.

Listening to FM Radio

The FM tuner built into the MCX-2000 provides a set of
simple, yet comprehensive functions. You can select a
desired FM station in one of two ways: manual tuning and
auto scan tuning. Plus, you can even register your favorite
FM stations beforehand using the FM Auto Preset feature
(page 62), allowing you to directly select a station from the
Presets list.
1 From the Radio menu screen, select FM. The Play
Information screen appears and starts playing the last
selected radio station (or just the first FM frequency signals
available in your area; no sound if no station is assigned).
Current frequency
n If you live in Europe and are using an MCX-2000 Europe model,
you can enjoy the Radio Data System feature while listening to the
FM radio. For details of the MCX-2000 Radio Data System
feature, see the following column.
2 Use the remote control to tune in to a desired FM station.
When you press either group selection button (–/+), the
MCX-2000 starts scanning available stations while
decreasing or increasing the frequency; the MCX-2000
automatically stops scanning if an radio station is tuned in;
you can also manually stop scanning by pressing either
group selection button.
