Editing The Library; Typing Text Characters - Yamaha MCX-2000 - MusicCAST Digital Audio Server Setup Manual

Editing the Library

As you collect more music and audio and expand your
MCX-2000 library, you may feel like arranging the content for
various purposes—for example, manually edit song data of
your favorite CD because it's too new to retrieve correct data
from CDDB, or because it's a homemade demo CD from
your musician friend. There may also be cases in which you
want to change attributes (album or artist) of specific songs
to compile your original CD, or you want to delete existing
PCM song data to open up space on the MCX-2000's built-in
hard drive. In daily use, you may often create several playlists
for archived songs, or register a new Internet radio station to
the Presets list. This section explains how to customize your
music library to your own needs and preferences.

Typing Text Characters

While editing song data from the music archive or while
configuring the MCX-2000, you may be asked to specify
items (parameter values) with typed text. To facilitate this,
the MCX-2000 allows you to type text using the on-screen
character palette or a PS/2 keyboard, according to your
preference.
Character Palette
When you select Submenu commands such as Edit or New
(target), or other parameters that require a text-based value
such as Internet URL, you're prompted with a special dialog
box as shown below.
Text area
n Text characters shown on the character palette is determined with the
Language setting (page 95).
This on-screen keyboard lets you type text only using the
cursor controller (arrow keys and SELECT keys). Simply
move the selection (highlight) to the character you want to
enter at the insertion point, and then press the SELECT key
while controlling using the six control keys:
← ← ← ←
: Moves the insertion point to the left.
→ → → →
: Moves the insertion point to the right.
bksp : Deletes a character on the left of the insertion point.
del : Deletes a character on the right of the insertion point.
clear: Deletes all characters in the text area at a time.
A↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ a : Modifies character key functions (uppercase, lowercase
and other symbols); currently available characters are
indicated in white.

PS/2 Keyboard
Another way to type text characters is to use a PS/2
keyboard connected to the MCX-2000. If you're familiar with
typing through a PC keyboard, this option is probably
quicker and easier than using the on-screen character
palette.
PS/2 KEYBOARD PHONES
MIN
n Always put the MCX-2000 in sleep or standby mode before
connecting or disconnecting the PS/2 keyboard. Otherwise, the unit
may be damaged.
Simply use the PS/2 keyboard when you're prompted to
type characters, together with the character palette. Move
the insertion point in the text area using two arrow keys on
the character palette (you cannot move the insertion point
from the PS/2 keyboard), and then edit or type text
characters together with Shift, Caps Lock, Delete and
Backspace keys on the PS/2 keyboard. When typing is
complete, simply use cursor keys to move the selection
(highlight) to OK and press Enter key.
