Introduction
Built around a digital network hub, the MC2000 is a whole-house distributed audio
communications system complete with multi-source music, door chimes, intercom,
paging, and monitoring.
The illustration below shows you the layout of your new MC2000 room station.

System Description and Features
The MC2000 System includes:
• A digital hub installed in an environmentally protected closet or utility area.
• Up to ten room stations installed in rooms throughout the house.
• Up to two door stations for the front and rear doors.
• Two tuners for AM/FM radio listening.
• An optional digital media manager for playing MP3 files.
Although networked together, each room station is independent of every other one
in the house. You can play your favorite oldies albums in one room while the kids

have their favorite rock station blaring in another room. You can even select the
music playing in another room to play in the room you’re in.
You can program the MC2000 to let you go to sleep with music and to wake up
with music. The intercom feature lets you communicate with someone at the front
door or talk to someone in another room. The paging feature lets you make
announcements (for example, “Dinner is ready. Everyone wash hands and come to
the table!”). You can even monitor another room (the baby’s room, for example) if
you wish.
This manual provides directions and guidelines for using the MC2000 System and
programming it to meet your needs.
If you have any questions not answered in this manual please contact the M&S
Systems technical support team at 1-800-366-9422 or for online support, go to our

Important Safety Instructions for the MC2000
The MC2000 must be installed by certified M&S Systems dealers or
installers, and must conform to all local building and electrical codes.
DO NOT expose the MC2000 to moisture. Doing so can create fire or shock
hazards and void the warranty.
DO NOT attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards and will invalidate your
warranty. Neither the hub nor the room stations contain any user-serviceable parts.
REFER ALL SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of shock
to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.
USE ONLY M&S Systems certified replacement parts and have them installed by an
MC2000 certified dealer or installer. Unauthorized substitutions can result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.

Unplug the MC2000 from the wall outlet prior to cleaning. Use only a damp cloth to
clean the hub cabinet, room stations, and speakers. Do not wipe the LCD with a
damp cloth; use only a soft cloth on the LCD screen. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners.

Getting Started: Set up the System
We recommend you customize your MC2000 prior to using the system.
Customizing the system will make the system easier to use and will allow you to
access all system features. The Greeting Menu is shown in Figure 2. This is the
default MC2000 room station menu. This menu provides you with single button
access to several key features. Each of these features will be described later in this
document.
Figure 2 - Greeting Menu
The Setup Menu (shown in Figure 5) allows you to configure the basic system and
individual room settings. Begin by configuring the MC2000 system through the
Setup Menu. To get to the Setup Menu first press the Main Menu button on
the room station, as shown in Figure 2. Then follow these steps:
