CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 1

Introducing your M700Introducing your M700

Congratulations on the purchase of this M700 Universal Remote Control. The M700 is a digital universal remote control that is easy to use and configure, enabling you to control virtually all your IR equipped electronic devices. One feature of the M700 is the touch screen control panel, which reduces the number of buttons on the device, making it easy for you to find the function you want. You can control up to eight devices, including a VCR, DVD, amplifier, TV, and LD/VCD.

The M700 is easy to set up. With the “learning eye” you can quickly configure each device in your household or office. In addition, with the macro function, you can initiate a chain of up to 25 commands with the touch of a button. With the convenient and easy to use M700, you can control all your devices with one remote control solution. No longer will you have to search for several different remotes!

The M700 does it all!

This manual will help you learn how to use all the advanced features of the M700. It will not explain how to use the functions for your devices! Please refer to your device's user manual for information related to your device.

This chapter will tell you how to set up the M700, how to automatically configure devices, and how to use the advanced features such as the macros.

Before you usethe learning function

Before you start configuring your remote controls using the learning function, please heedthefollowing precautions:

Don't configure more than one remote control for each device on the M700. For example,don't use one TV remote control for some functions under the M700's TV device screen, and then use a different TV remote control for other functions. Configure the M700's device button using only remote control for all the buttons.

If you are going to configure a different remote control for an M700 device button after you have previously configured the device button for a different remote control, first delete all the commands for the device button. Refer to on page 10.

When using the learning function, you must press each button within 120 seconds. Otherwise, the M700 will exit learning mode and return tonormaloperation mode.
