How can I switch between the wired and wireless connections of a Music Player?

When a Music Player is connected to the network using a network cable, the wired connection is always prioritized. When the network cable is disconnected, a wireless connection between the Music Player and your access point (WiFi router) will be automatically established if the WiFi settings of the Music Player have been configured. In case the wireless connection cannot be automatically established, turn off and on the Music Player.

How many learning remote control key codes can the Music Commander store?

The Music Commander can store about 70 learning codes (total number of key codes learned in “Remote Control” and “Amp Control”) at maximum. If it gets run out of space, you need to delete unnecessary learning codes. These functions are for MCX-P200 only.

Is it possible to learn remote control codes from the supplied IR flashers connected to the Music Player (MCX-P200)?

It may be difficult because the emission of the supplied IR flashers is not enough for signal reading. Use a commercially available IR flasher that has the higher emission intensity or a pin cable to connect the Music Player (MCX-P200) and your remote control directly.
