At the lower section in the client source menu screen, you can 
access the timer playback feature for clients, the same feature 
available for the MCX-2000 when you select Top Menu > 
Setup > Timer. When you select Timer, the timer playback list 
screen appears, where you can create up to 10 timer 
programs by specifying a playlist or a preset radio station to 
be played at the specified time on the specified date.

Move the selection (highlight) to a column to specify a timer 
program, and then press the SELECT button on the remote 
control for the timer program list screen. You can create a 
timer program for the selected client here, in the same 
manner as for the MCX-2000 (page 97).

n Internet radio stations cannot be selected from the Presets list. 

See also the previous note (page 88).

For detailed procedure and notes, refer to the relevant 
sections in “Using the Timer Playback” (page 97).

n While you’re editing (or simply viewing settings) in the timer program 

list screen, the MCX-2000 doesn’t activate existing timer programs.

While playing music on the MCX-2000 itself, you can seamlessly 
initiate music streaming to any MusicCAST client. Everybody 
can just operate a MusicCAST client to browse through audio 
sources on the server and select a desired item—artist, album, 
genre, song, playlist, or radio station—to listen to it on the client. 
On the other hand, you can limit operations from the client side 
using the Lock command from the client list screen (page 87) if 
you use MusicCAST clients in a public space, such as show 
room or shop floor.

Other convincible features for the MCX-2000 and MusicCAST 
clients are found in the Broadcast and Recall Play commands 
available from Submenu in the Play Information screens.

As its name implies, the Broadcast command lets you stream a 
audio source selected (and playing) on the MCX-2000 to all 
specified clients. When you select the command, the MCX-2000 
shows the following dialog box.

Add a check mark to clients to which you want to broadcast the 
audio source currently playing (or selected) on the MCX-2000. 
When you select OK, broadcasting is initiated and selected 
clients start playing the same audio source.

You can stop broadcasting any time by pressing the 
BROADCAST button on the remote control. Select OK in the 
dialog box that appears. When broadcasting is stopped, the 
MCX-2000 and selected clients stop playback. Other clients (not 
selected for broadcasting) continue playing. 

n Though Internet radio stations cannot be selected or requested 

from the client side or through the client source menu screen 
(page 88), they can be easily streamed using the Broadcast 
command on the MCX-2000 side.
