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!
NOTE
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
