Move the selection (highlight) to each parameter below 
and specify how you want both units to work together. 

Select ON if you want the AV receiver power modes to match 
those of the MCX-2000. With this parameter enabled, the AV 
receiver wakes up from standby mode at the same time when 
the MCX-2000 wakes up and enters active mode. When the 
MCX-2000 enters sleep or standby mode, the AV receiver 
enters standby mode as long as its current input selection 
matches the Receiver Input value specified below (therefore, 
when the AV receiver is ready to play or has been playing audio 
signals from the MCX-2000).

n You cannot control the MCX-2000 power modes remotely from the 

AV receiver.

2 Change surround program for each Genre played 
Select ON if you want to change surround programs on the 
AV receiver according to what music is played on the 
MCX-2000. With this parameter enabled, the Set Surround 
Program command is newly available in the Submenu of the 
genre list screen (see below), where you can specify which 
surround program is applied to music from a specific genre.

3 Receiver input to which the MCX-2000 is connected
Select from the list an AV receiver input where you’ve 
connected the MCX-2000 audio output. This parameter is 
essential for integrated operations of the MCX-2000 and the 
AV receiver, so be sure to select the correct input name.

n The MCX-2000 automatically recognizes the connected AV receiver 

and changes available values (AV receiver input names in the list).

Select OK to save your settings. Now the MCX-2000 is 
ready for synchronized operations with the AV receiver.

If you’ve specified to link the MCX-2000 genres to the AV 
receiver surround programs, open the genre list screen by 
selecting Top Menu > Library > Music Archive > Genres.

Move the selection (highlight) to each genre, and then select 
the Set Surround Program command from the Submenu. 
Specify a surround program from the list for the current 
genre. (Available surround program names are varied 
according to the AV receiver model that’s connected to the 
MCX-2000.)

To confirm integrated operations between the units, 
select the AV receiver’s current input for the MCX-2000 
(Receiver input) and then try:
• Pressing the STANDBY/ON button
• Selecting a song from the music archive

n Automatic selection of a surround program is possible only when you 

select an archived song, but the selected surround program is 
continuously applied to other audio sources as long as they’re output 
via the AV receiver. When the next (or previous) song is from a 
different genre, you may experience ‘longer’ silence between the 
songs, which comes from the AV receiver’s surround program 
switching and is normal.
