Using the Online CDDB Database The MCX-2000 incorporates a part of Gracenote CDDB database and uses it to retrieve and display song data for music CDs (factory setting). The online CDDB database is, however, always being updated according to the latest CD releases in the whole world. So, if you have an Internet connection and make it accessible from the MCX-2000, you can be sure to retrieve song data for your CDs. 1 Select Top Menu > Setup > CD Lookup. 3 When you select OK, the "Saving..." message is shown. The MCX-2000 afterward retrieves song data in the specified manner. n For quicker access of CDDB data, the MCX-2000 is designed to keep song data for last 100 music CDs (maximum) retrieved from the online CDDB database. However, you can ignore existing data by retrieving the latest data using the CDDB Info command available from the Submenu in several Music Archive screens. Defining User Interface Your MCX-2000 becomes more usable if you customize the unit according to your preferences. Select Top Menu > Setup > User Interface, find how you can customize the MCX-2000. User Interface menu 2 Change each parameter value as needed. 1 Auto Lookup Specify whether the MCX-2000 automatically starts searching song data in the CDDB database when you set a music CD on the unit (factory setting: ON). With OFF, the MCX-2000 doesn't start automatic search, so that all song data will be shown with generic names (Unknown or Track). If you want to start playing or recording (importing) a music CD as soon as you set it (because you know song data can be retrieved later, even when CD tracks are archived), specify this parameter to OFF. 2 Database Location Specify which CDDB database to be used for retrieving dong data. If you only use the built-in database, select Internal Database (factory setting). With this option selected, the following Internet-relevant parameter become unavailable. Oppositely, if you select Internet Database, the MCX-2000 doesn't use the built-in database at all. You may select Internal Database if you're using the MCX-2000 without Internet connection. 3 Access Timeout Specify how long the MCX-2000 is allowed to wait after querying to the online CDDB database, within a range between 30 to 300 seconds. If your Internet access is fast enough, you can leave this value as it is (factory setting: 30 seconds) because the online database normally responds in a few seconds. But, if you specify a small value for slow Internet access (such as modem dial-up access), there may be a case the MCX-2000 stops waiting before the CDDB response is returned. This results in no applicable song data. So, specify a value that's large enough for your Internet access speed. Front Panel Display You can adjust brightness and contrast of the MCX-2000 front panel display. Page displayed at Power ON When connected to the AC power source or waking up from sleep or standby mode, the MCX-2000 normally displays the Top Menu screen. You can change it to a screen last shown before the display goes off. Screen Saver The MCX-2000 operation screens (on the TV monitor) goes off when the unit enters sleep or standby mode. In addition to this, you can set the screen display to automatically go off after the specified duration. Use this feature to prevent monitor burnout. Language You can select a language used to show text messages in the front panel display and TV monitor screens. This is the same parameter you first set with Easy Setup (page 27). Use this when you want to change the user interface language. PS/2 Keyboard You can select the type of your PS/2 keyboard connected to the PS/2 port on the MCX-2000 front panel. This is an essential setting for your keyboard to properly work. MCX-2000 Owner's Manual 93
