n As a general rule, you should note that archived ‘on-demand’ songs
can be separately selected and streamed to clients. But, incoming

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.)
