2. Batteries

A. Battery Installation

Before the remote control can be used, the batteries need to
be installed. First, remove the battery cover on the back of
the unit and install the four AAA batteries inside the
battery compartment as shown. Make sure the batteries line
up with the (+) and (-) markings. Improper installation
could damage the remote control. When you're done, slide
the battery cover back on. The remote control starts up
automatically and the default devices will appear on the
LCD screen.

B. Battery Life

Under normal operating conditions, the batteries will last
approximately six months. If the batteries are running low,
you will notice reduced range from the remote, commands
that are not sent properly, or are not sent at all. You may
also notice the backlighting of the LCD screen and the
buttons is diminished. Should any of these occur, replace
the batteries immediately. To ensure proper performance of
the unit, use 4 new AAA alkaline batteries.

The remote control will retain the commands and settings
in memory even after the batteries are low or become
discharged. See Memory Lock on page 46. However, you
should replace the worn batteries with a fresh set as soon as
possible. Do not mix new and used batteries.

3. Summary of Operations

A. Description of Devices

The MX-500TMis designed to operate up to ten components
including Audio Receivers, Cable and Satellite Boxes,

TV, DVD (LD), VCR1, VCR2, CD, Tape and AUX.

However, each of the device buttons and corresponding
functions can be changed to meet your individual
requirements. Almost any device that uses infrared
commands can be controlled by the MX-500TM, including
Home Automation, Personal computers and more.

Tip: The auxiliary function (AUX) could be used to operate
lighting controls; or the second VCR (VCR2) could be

changed to operate a second TV, etc.

Each device button on the main screen contains two sub­pages of commands and you can change the name of any
LCD button using up to five alphabet characters, numbers
and symbols to customize the unit to fit your audio/video
devices. Please refer to ÒLCD Button EditingÓ on page 39
for additional details.

B. Preprogrammed Codes

The MX-500TMcomes with extensive preprogrammed IR
codes for practically all major audio and video equipment.
You can set up and operate all of your components with the
MX-500TMby simply entering a three-digit code number
assigned to your brand of component. The code numbers
for the various brands of components are listed in the back
of this instruction manual. Please refer to the programming
instructions shown on page 13 for details.

C. Learning From Other Remote Controls

The MX-500TMcan learn codes from your original remote
controls. There are 26 LCD screens in the MX-500TM. Each
screen (page) has ten function buttons, including the ten
device buttons on the main menu screen that can be taught.
In addition, there are 31 buttons and a joystick (thumbpad)
that can be taught for each of the ten devices. You can
teach up to 530 new functions into the remote control.
Please refer to page 19 in this instruction manual for
details.

D. Macro Operations

A ÒmacroÓ is a series of commands that you choose to be
sent out with the push of one button. Any function
available on your original remote control or in the
preprogrammed database can be added to a macro to
completely automate what you would normally do by
pushing buttons one at a time. It can be as simple as
turning on your TV and Cable Box, turning the TV to the
appropriate channel for operation with the Cable Box, and
changing the Cable Box channel to your favorite morning
news. A macro can be configured to Power On your TV,
DVD player and receiver, change to the appropriate inputs
and outputs, dim your lights and start a movie. It can be as
simple or as comprehensive as you want.
There are two types of macro buttons you can use for
macro operations:

M1, M2, M3, POWER and SYSTEM OFF Buttons

The M1, M2, and M3 are called Òsystem-wideÓ buttons
because they send out the same signal no matter what
device you are currently controlling. The POWER and

3. Summary of Operations

8

SYSTEM OFF buttons can be made Òsystem-wideÓ if they
are programmed with macros.
(Note: Programming the POWER or SYSTEM OFF buttons

with a macro overrides the preprogrammed or learned
code on the button.)

See page 26 of this manual for further information. Each of
these five buttons is designed to be able to send out a series
of up to 20 commands you program into the buttons. One
common use is to turn on and turn off all of your A/V
components with one button press, but the buttons can be
programmed with whatever macro you desire.

Ten Device Buttons

There are ten device buttons and each of these device
buttons can send out a series of up to 20 programmed
commands when pressed for more than one second. These
buttons are commonly used in sending audio input codes
when you press the button to go to a device. The audio
receiver would make an automatic input switch according
to the device button you pressed. However, these buttons
can be programmed with whatever macro you desire.

E. Favorite Channel Buttons

You can create up to 50 favorite channel buttons in the
MX-500TMby programming the most frequently watched
channel numbers into these buttons. Each of these buttons
can send out up to 10 commands. Please refer to page 24 of
the manual for Favorite Channel Programming.

F. Punch Through Operations

The MX-500TMcan be set up to operate your audio component
volume control buttons (VOLUME UP and DOWN and

3. Summary of Operations

K. System Settings

All programming

is done by first entering the SETUP

mode in the remote control. Press both the MAIN and
ENTER buttons simultaneously for three seconds to enter
the SETUP mode. SETUP will be shown at the top of the
LCD screen.

You exit the SETUP mode by simply pressing the MAIN
button.

Important: When using the Preprogramming method
starting on page 13, always use the appropriate button as
shown in the illustration above when asked ÒFROM
TABLEÓ. You may have already changed the labels of the
buttons, but the code tables are in the positions as shown.
For example, the AUDIO Code Table (refer to pages
starting at 58) will ALWAYS be the top-left button. The
SAT Code Table will always be the 4th button down on the
right side of the LCD screen, etc.

WHERE DO I START?

First of all, get all of your original remote controls together.
Find out what brands of components you have. You may
have one or more components that do not have original
remote controls, but can still be controlled by the
MX-500TM. You must use the preprogrammed method for
those devices. For the rest, you can program the MX-500

TM

to make it compatible with your components by following
the preprogrammed method instructions, by using your
original remote controls to teach the MX-500TM, or both
methods.

Next, it is a good idea to decide whether you want a
ÒDevice-basedÓ configuration, or if you want an
ÒActivity-basedÓ configuration.

A Ò Device-basedÓ configuration centers on each Device
with its two LCD pages controlling one component. All of
the functions that your original remote control has on it
would be put on to one device. The MX-500

TM

comes with
the labels and preprogrammed codes in a ÒDevice-basedÓ
setup.

If you go to the ÒList of Preprogrammed LCD Text by
DeviceÓ on page 53, you will see diagrams of how the
MX-500TMis set up at the factory. When you choose a
preprogrammed code for a component from the ÒSetup
Code TablesÓ in the Appendix of this manual, that code
will be applied to one device only.

An ÒActivity-basedÓ configuration centers on what you are
doing at the time. If you are watching a DVD on your TV,
and are using your Home Theater receiver to control the

sound, you may want to start by setting up the DVD
Device using the preprogrammed method described below,
and then add functions from the other devices you will be
using while watching your DVD video to the DVD device.

For example, while playing a DVD, you will want to adjust
the volume of your receiver. So, you would use the ÒPunch
ThroughÓ method described on page 32 to put the
Receiver's Volume control into your DVD Device. You
may then want to adjust other functions of your Receiver
while staying in the DVD device, so you would use the
learning method described on page 19 to add those
functions to your DVD device, such as surround sound
controls, the receiver's DVD input code, the TV's power
code, etc. Everything that you need for watching a DVD on
your TV without having to jump back and forth from
Device to Device.

You can decide where on the MX-500

TM

you want your
functions to reside, relabeling the LCD screen buttons
(explained on page 39) for those functions, and choosing
preprogramming, learning, or a combination of both to
fully customize your MX-500TMwill give you a remote
totally customized to your needs.

So, let's start with learning how to Preprogram the
MX-500TM.

A. Using Preprogrammed Codes

1. Three-Digit Code Number

You can program the MX-500TMto make it compatible with
your components by using the preprogrammed method:

1. Manually turn on the device you wish to operate.

2. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and

ENTER buttons simultaneously for three seconds until
SETUP appears at the top of the LCD screen.

3. Press the P-PRO button next to the LCD screen.

4. The remote will be flashing ÒSELECT BUTTONÓ.

Press the button for the device you wish to program. (For
example, to program TV, press the TV button.)

5. The remote will be flashing ÒFROM TABLEÓ. Select the
device from which you want to access the code table.
Important: If you have already relabeled your device
keys, your LCD screen will not look like the illustration
above. Select the appropriate LCD button for the ÒFROM
TABLEÓ using the labels as shown in the illustration on
page 11 of this manual. For example, if you have relabeled
AUX as LIGHTS, you would still push the bottom-left
button to access the AUX Code Table.

Note: Use VCR1, not VCR2, to access the VCR code
library.

6. The remote will be flashing ÒENTER NUMBERÓ. Refer
to the tables starting on page 58 in the back of this manual
and find the manufacturer of your device. (If you are
programming the remote for the TV device, find the TV
device code table.)

7. Point the remote control toward the device and enter the

13

16

4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components 4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components

first three-digit code number you selected for your device.
There is no way of knowing which code is the one that will
have the functions that more closely match your device
than the others, so it is wise to try them all. See step #9
below.
(Please enter the code number within 20 seconds of
beginning programming, otherwise the remote will revert
to the SETUP menu, and then after a period of time, it will
go back to the MAIN device page.)

If there is more than one code number assigned to your
brand, try one code number at a time until you find the
right code number (the number that

turns off your device.)

If the device turns off when you enter the three-digit code,

make note of the code. It will have at least some of the
functions in it that are needed to control your device.

8. Confirm that it is the right code by pressing the Power
button. The device should turn on. After you have
confirmed that the right code is entered, save the code by
pressing the SAVE button on the LCD.

9. At this point try ALL of the buttons on the remote, and
see which ones work with your device. The majority of the
buttons should work with your device. Make note of the
code if it seems to be the right one, and try the next one.
You are trying to find the one that has the most functions to
operate your equipment. If there are any functions missing,
you will learn them from your original remote in the
ÒLearning MethodÓ section on page 19.

10. Continue to program other components by repeating
from Step 1 above.

11. You can press EXIT at any time if you do not wish to
proceed.

15

12. When you are finished programming your remote, exit
from the preprogramming mode by pressing the MAIN
button and then exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the
MAIN button once again.

Tip: You can change the preprogrammed code for each
device at any time by following the steps above. The new
code will override the old code. For example, this would be
done if you replaced your old TV with a new one.

Tip: Please note that you use the code table from VCR1 for
VCR2 setup. The code table for Laser Disc is stored under
DVD. The code table for Tuner is stored under Audio.

2. Auto Scan With Three-Digit Number

You can also program your remote control by sending out a
series of Power Off commands for different brands stored
in the library by using the following steps. This is similar
to the first method, except it is easier to move through all
of the device codes for your device and make note of each
one that turns your device OFF.

1. Manually turn on the device you plan to operate.

2. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and
ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds.

3. Press the P-PRO button next to the LCD screen.

1817

the device back on, and reverse your UP or DOWN one
press at a time, until the unit turns off. There is no way of
knowing which code is the one that will have the functions
that more closely match your device than the others, so it is
wise to try them all. See #9 below.

(Please press the UP or DOWN button within 20 seconds
of beginning programming, otherwise the remote will
revert to the SETUP menu, and then after a period of time,
it will go back to the MAIN device page.)

If there is more than one code number assigned to your
brand, try one code number at a time until you find the
right code number (the number that

turns off your device.)

If the device turns off when you enter the three-digit code,

make note of the code. It will have at least some of the
functions in it that are needed to control your device.

8. Confirm that it is the right code by pressing the Power
button. After you have confirmed that the right code is
entered, save the code by pressing the SAVE button on the
LCD.

9. Confirm that you entered the right code number that
matches your component by pressing other functional
buttons. If any of the buttons do not operate, as they
should, please repeat from Step 1.

10. Continue to program other components by repeating
from step 1 above.

11. You can press EXIT at any time if you do not wish to
proceed.

12. Exit from Preprogrammed mode by pressing the MAIN
button and then exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the
MAIN button once again.

4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components 4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components

4. The remote will be flashing ÒSELECT BUTTONÓ.
Press the device you wish to program. (For example, to
program TV, press the TV button.)

5. The remote will be flashing ÒFROM TABLEÓ. Select the
device from which the scanned code will be selected.
(Important: If you have already relabeled your device
keys, your LCD screen will not look like the illustration
above. Select the appropriate LCD button for the ÒFROM
TABLEÓ using the labels as shown in the illustration on
page 11 of this manual. For example, if you have relabeled
AUX as LIGHTS, you would still push the bottom-left
button to access the AUX Code Table.

Note: Use VCR1, not VCR2, to access the VCR code
library.)

6. Point the remote control toward the component and press
either the UP or DOWN button on the LCD. (It will send
out a series of Power Off codes when the button is kept
pressed and the code numbers that are being sent are shown
on the LCD.) If the right code number is sent, the
component will turn off right after the code number is
transmitted.

7. Release the UP or DOWN button you were pressing as
soon as the device is turned off. If you should happen to go
past the one that turned off you device, just manually turn

2019

remoteÕs button until ÒGoodÓ flashes twice on the LCD
screen.

l

Try varying the distance between the remotes until you
find an optimal distance where the codes are learned on the
first or second try.

1. Programming The Function Buttons

1.

Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and

ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds.

2. Press the LEARN button next to the LCD screen.

3. Select the DEVICE that contains the function button you

wish to program.

4. Press the PAGE button to go to page 2 of the device if
you need to.

5. Place your original remote control head to head with the
MX-500TMabout 2 inches apart on a flat surface as
illustrated below.

4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components 4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components

B. Learning Method

You can program the MX-500TMto operate a device by
ÒteachingÓ the correct commands to device buttons on the
main screen menu, the two sub-pages within each device
button, 31 buttons and the joystick located in the middle of
the remote control. The MX-500TMlearns these commands
by receiving infrared signals directly from your existing
remote controls. The MX-500TMreceives these signals
through its learning eye, located at the top of the unit.

Apart from the PAGE, MAIN and FAV buttons, which
cannot be taught, the MX-500

TM

has the capability of

learning up to 530 commands.

Tip: Function buttons are any buttons that can be assigned
a command to control a particular action for your device.
Commonly used function buttons include the two pages of
sub-commands within each of the 10 devices, channel up
and down, volume up and down, menu, guide, exit, info,
0-9, and the joystick.

Points to Remember

If the remote control fails to learn a function after the first try:

l

Keep the remotes stable by placing them on a flat surface.

l

Make sure the original remote is pointed at the learning

eye at the top end of the case and is not at an angle.

l

Make sure both remotesÕ batteries aren't low.

l

Avoid programming the MX-500TMunder bright lighting.

It can interfere with the infrared signals.

l

Try again. Sometimes the second or third attempt works.

l

Some buttons require a single, short push of the original
remote's button, other ÒrepeatingÓ buttons, such as the
VOL button, require that you Òpress and holdÓ the original

22

2. Programming The Ten Device Buttons

This will program ONE learned code onto the Device
button, so that when you select that Device, it will send out
the learned signal as it changes to that Device's function
pages.

1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and
ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds.

2. Press the LEARN button next to the LCD screen.

3. Important: Press the PAGE button.

4. Place your original remote control head to head with the

MX-500TMabout 2 inches apart on a flat surface.

5. Select any of the ten device buttons you wish to
program on the MX-500TM. Press the button on your
original remote control you wish to program into the
Device button you have chosen on the MX-500TM. Once the
MX-500TMhas received the signal, the MX-500TMwill flash
ÒGoodÓ on the LCD screen, indicating it learned the code
correctly. If it flashes ÒFailÓ, repeat from Step 4 until it
learns successfully. (Please enter the code signal within 20
seconds of programming.)

6. Return to Step #5 until you have programmed all of the
Device buttons that you require.

4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components 4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components

6. Press the button on the MX-500TMyou wish to program.
Only the three MAIN, PAGE and FAV buttons cannot be
programmed.

7. Press the button on your original remote control that you
wish to program onto the MX-500TM. Once the MX-500

TM

has received the signal, the MX-500TMwill flash ÒGoodÓ on
the LCD screen, indicating it learned the code correctly.

(Please do Step #6 within 20 seconds of Step #5, otherwise
the remote will revert to the SETUP menu, and then after a
period of time, it will go back to the MAIN device page.)

If it flashes ÒFailÓ, repeat from Step 4 until it learns
successfully.

8. Return to Step #3 until you have programmed all of the
buttons that you require.

9. Once you complete the programming and wish to exit
the LEARNING mode, press the MAIN button. Exit from
the SET UP mode by pressing the MAIN button once
again.

Tip: Learning to VOL, CH and Transport buttons: If you
are having problems learning to the Volume, Channel and
Transport buttons, it may be that you have previously
assigned a ÒPunch ThroughÓ from another device to that
device. To remove a Punch Through, just punch through
the device to itself. For example, to erase a punch through
from a TV to an Audio Device, just punch through the TV
to the TV.
(See ÒProgramming Punch ThroughÓ functions on
Page 32.)

21

5. Programming Favorite Channels

24

You can create and program up to 50 Favorite Channel
buttons. Each favorite channel button can send out up to 10
commands with one button press.

1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and
ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds.

2. Press the FAV button next to the LCD screen.

3. Press the device button that corresponds to the

component that your FAV channel will control. For
example, pressing the TV device will only send out the
type of code that the TV responds to. Pressing the Cable
device will only control the cable box.

4. Press the LCD button you will be assigning to the
favorite channel and enter the channel number you wish to
store in the FAVORITE channel button. You can store up to
10 digits.

5. Press the favorite channel button you selected in step 4
again to store the channel you programmed.

23

7. Once you complete the programming and wish to exit
the Learning mode, press the MAIN button. Exit from the
SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button once again.

Tip: Only follow these instructions if you actually want a
code sent when changing devices. Some users do not want
a Device to send out a code when changing to that device.

For example: You program the AMP's TV input code on the
TV device, and are in the DVD device pages because you
are controlling the DVD player. The AMP's input is set to
DVD. Now you want to quickly adjust the picture on the TV.
If you push the TV Device button, it will change the input
on your AMP to TV and you will not be able to adjust the
picture for your DVD. In this case, it would be better not to
program a code to the TV device. However, your
circumstances may be different.

4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components

6. Programming Macro Buttons

A ÒmacroÓ is a series of commands that you choose to be
sent out with the push of one button.

There are two types of macro functions you can program
with the MX-500TM:

The M1, M2, M3, POWER and SYSTEM OFF buttons
are designed to send out up to twenty commands from each
of the five hard buttons. The ten device buttons can each
send a macro of up to 20 commands when the device
button is pressed for more than 1 second while on the
MAIN page of the remote control.

Important: If you program the POWER or SYSTEM OFF
buttons with a macro, they will no longer function as ON
and OFF buttons for your components. Just erase any
macros you have programmed on to these buttons if you
want to restore the original ON and OFF function.

See the ÒTipsÓ at the end of this section for help on
programming macros.

A. Programming Macro Functions To M1, M2, M3,

POWER And SYSTEM OFF Buttons

1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN and
ENTER button simultaneously for three seconds.

2. Press the MACRO button next to the LCD screen.

5. Programming Favorite Channels

Tip: If you press a wrong channel number, move the cursor
by using the left or right button of the joystick and then
reassign the correct channel number.

6. Return to Step #3 until you have programmed all of the
FAV channel buttons that you require.

7. Once you have completed the programming and wish to
exit from the Favorite Channel mode, press the MAIN
button. Exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN
button once again.

Tip: There are five pages of LCD screens for favorite
channel programming. You move to other pages by
pressing the PAGE or FAV button.

Tip: You can use the following buttons: 0-9, ENTER,
DISPLAY, POWER, SYSTEM OFF, and INFO/PAUSE in
your FAV macro.

Tip: (For Advanced Users) To make even more powerful
FAV macros, you can learn codes from your original
remote(s) to the 0-9, ENTER, DISPLAY, POWER, SYSTEM
OFF, and INFO/PAUSE buttons in any device, and use
them in your FAV macros. (This will not work if you have
already applied a preprogrammed device code to those
buttons.)

For example: Some televisions require you to send out a
code after the digits other than the ENTER code in order to
change channels. For this, you could LEARN the proper
code to the ENTER button from your original television
remote, and use that in your FAV macro. If you are
creative, you can learn any codes to these buttons and
make your FAV macros do almost anything!

In this case we are going to use the M1 button to turn on
the TV, the receiver, the Cable box, choose the appropriate
inputs, and tune in the channel where we normally watch
the morning news.

1. Press MAIN and ENTER simultaneously for three
seconds.

2. Press MACRO.

3. Press M1.

4. Press AUDIO. (Takes you to the Audio device page.)

5. Press POWER. (The button on the top right of the

7. Press POWER.

8. Press MAIN.

9. Press CABLE. (This takes you to the Cable device page.)

10. Press POWER.

11. Press MAIN.

12. Press AUDIO. (We are returning to this page because

most receivers and amps take time to Òcycle upÓ and can't
receive any commands, such as input, until the device is
ready. So we have had the other steps of the macro running
while the Audio device is Òcycling upÓ.)

13. Press PAUSE three times. (The button on the bottom
right of the joystick. We've done this since our particular
receiver takes longer than normal to Òcycle upÓ, so we
have pressed the PAUSE button to insert more time for the
receiver to get to the point where it will receive another
command. Pressing the PAUSE button three times allows
for an extra. 6 seconds of wait time. 3 x .2 seconds
per push=.6 seconds)

14. Press CATV. (Since you are in the Audio device, this
selects the ÒCAbleTVÓ input on that device.)

Tip: Remember that a single push of a Device Button that
has a macro connected to it will take you to that device's
function pages. You will need to hold the Device Button
down for 1 second in order to send out the macro that you
have created for that Device Button.

Tip: Pressing the PAUSE button (the key to the bottom
right of the cursor pad) during the macro programming
will add a time delay of 0.2 seconds between the
commands. For example, pressing the PAUSE button three
times will create a pause of 0.6 seconds between the
commands where the delay was inserted. Pressing the
PAUSE button does not count as a macro step.

Tip: When using a macro, remember to keep the remote
pointed toward your components until the macro is finished
being transmitted. You will notice the ÒSendingÓ icon flash
in the upper right corner of the LCD screen as the macro is
sending out each command. It will not show when a series
of PAUSE commands are being executed. Wait until the
icon finishes flashing before using other functions or
putting the remote down.

Sample Macro: The following is a sample macro, to give
you a quick idea of what a macro can do, in an easy step­by-step form. Please refer to ÒProgramming Macro
ButtonsÓ above if you need to refresh your memory on
programming macros. This example assumes you have not
changed the names of the devices and that you have used
Òpunch throughÓ to assign the VOL to your receiver. If you
have changed the labels, just insert your changed names in
the example below.

You can use the audio receiver volume control in a
different mode (for example, Audio receiver Volume Up
and Volume Down and Mute in Satellite mode) using the
volume punch through feature. You can also have channel
punch through (Channel Up, Channel Down) as well as
eight VCR (or DVD) transport buttons (Play, Stop, Fast
Forward and Rewind, Skip-, Skip+, Pause, Record) operate
in another mode such as in Satellite, Cable and Audio
modes.

1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN and
ENTER buttons simultaneously for three seconds.

then your TV, then your Cable box, then change the input
to Cable on your receiver, then change the Channel on your
Cable box to 135.

Note: You can end your macro on any page you like,
including the MAIN page. We deliberately ended our macro
on the Cable page before we saved it, since that is where
we wanted to be at the end of our macro.

The MX-500TMhas an internal memory lock system that
retains all of the programs and learned functions for an
extended period in the event of battery loss.

Backlight: A feature that illuminates the LCD screen or
keypad for use in low light or dark conditions.

Battery type: The MX-500TMuses 4 standard disposable
alkaline AAA batteries, or the new rechargeable alkaline
batteries.

Codes: Can refer to either the numeric codes needed to
program a preprogrammed remote control, or the actual
infrared signals transmitted by remote controls to devices.

Component: See device.

Contrast: Either an arbitrary description of how "clear" an

LCD screen is for viewing, or a specific adjustment that
allows you to customize the screen's visible characteristics.

Delay: Usually a pause placed between two steps in a
macro. Delays may be required in order for some devices
to properly sense two separate commands, or may be used
to wait for a device to finish powering up. The MX-500

TM

allows you to change that delay.

Please note the LCD screen is breakable glass. Please
exercise the following precautions when using the
MX-500

TM

:

l

Do not tap the LCD screen to active devices. Use the
rubber buttons beside the labels on the screen.

l

Keep the LCD screen dry. Wipe off any spill immediately.
The MX-500TMis not waterproof. Never immerse it in
water.

l

Don't expose the MX-500TMto extreme temperatures.
Keep it away from any heat sources.

l

Avoid dropping the remote control.

l

Clean the LCD screen with a soft cloth. Never use
abrasives or cleaning solutions on the soft cloth.

If the batteries are running low, the LCD displays Ò LOW
BATTERYÓ whenever you press the POWER button or
you press the MAIN and ENTER button simultaneously.

frequencies higher than the industry standard. Some
examples would be Bang & Olufsen, Kenwood (455KHz)
and older Pioneer Elite (1.125MHz). Such devices are
never preprogrammed into off-the-shelf remote controls
and can generally only be used with very specific learning
remote controls.

Infrared: "IR" A portion of the light spectrum below our
visible range, used by many modern remote controls to
transmit signals. The MX-500TMuses IR signals.

Infrared emitter: A light emitting diode used to transmit
infrared signals from a remote control. Generally, the more
and better the emitters, the stronger and wider the resulting
signal. A remote with strong emitters can generally be used
without pointing at the desired device. Emitters are also
partially responsible for any limits on the range of
frequencies that can be controlled. Emitters are always
placed at the "top" of a remote control and are typically
shielded by a red plastic window. The MX-500

TM

has 2 very

strong IR emitters.

Infrared receiver: The portion of a device that receives
infrared commands from a remote control. Since infrared is
actually light, it requires line-of-sight visibility for best
operation, but can still be reflected by items such as walls
and glass. Poorly placed IR receivers can also result in
what is called "tunnel vision," where they are set so far
back into the chassis of a device that the operational range
of any remote control is severely reduced.

Joystick: A feature on some remote controls, the joystick
is a single pointer which replicates five functions for menu

Discrete codes: Versions of toggle codes that only perform
one function. Some examples would be "POWER ON" and
"POWER OFF" or "VCR," "TUNER" and "DVD" receiver
inputs. These types of signals are most often used to ensure
your home theater components stay completely in sync for
powering on and off and changing device inputs. Some of
the preprogrammed codes in the MX-500TMcontain discrete
codes. If your original remote contains discrete codes,
these can be taught to the MX-500TMas well.

Device: The MX-500TMremote control is capable of
controlling a certain number of devices, or pieces of
equipment. Examples of devices would be televisions,
DVD players, receivers or VCRs. Some devices, such as
receivers or dual-cassette decks, may be treated by some
remotes as more than one device. Also known as
components.

Firmware: Indicates the programming software stored on
the remote control. The MX-500TMremote can have its
firmware flashed (upgraded) to a newer version.

Frequencies: The range of infrared carrier frequencies that
a remote control is capable of learning or controlling. Most
remotes operate between 30 and 60kHz, however some use
higher and are thus known as high frequency.
The MX-500TMoperates and can learn frequencies between
10 kHz and 100kHz.

Hard buttons: Refers to all physical (mechanical) buttons
on a remote control.

High frequency: Indicates an infrared system that employs

17. Glossary 17. Glossary

4847

control: up, down, left, right and enter. The Joystick on the
MX-500TMcan be programmed with other commands as
well. The Joystick on the MX-500TMis sometimes referred
to as a Thumbpad.

Keypad: Generally refers to all hard buttons on a remote
control, or more specifically the numeric keypad (0 through 9).

LCD screen: The display device built into the MX-500TM.
The MX-500TMLCD screen displays mode and
programming information, along with macro commands
and soft buttons.

Learning: The process through which a remote control
captures and stores infrared signals (codes) from other
remotes for later use. Some factors which can affect the
ability of one remote to learn another would be code
length, signal frequency, type of signal and the amount of
learning memory available. The MX-500TMis capable of
learning to every button, including the joystick, except the
Page, Main, Fav buttons.

Macro: Macros are sequences of infrared commands that
are played back, in order, by a remote control at the push of
a single button. Macros can be used to automate the
powering on or off of your system, playing a movie or
changing inputs, or in Home Automation.

Memory: The amount of space included on a remote
control for storing all settings, such as preprogrammed
codes, learned signals, macros, and more. The MX-500

TM

has a large memory reserve for learning new codes.

17. Glossary 17. Glossary

Memory backup: The MX-500TMcan retain its programming
information for an indefinite amount of time without
batteries installed. Remotes that do not feature this may
have their programming erased when changing batteries.

Operating distance: The distance from which a remote
control can still reliably operate devices. The average
infrared range is thirty feet, although the MX-500TMis
capable of greater distances.

Page: Refers to a single screen of buttons or information
displayed on the LCD panel.

Pause: See Delay.

Power off: A feature used by many LCD remote controls

to save battery power, it represents entering a "standby"
mode after a certain length of inactivity. The MX-500

TM

uses very little power with the LCD screen on, so the
screen remains on at all times.

Preprogrammed: Indicates a library of infrared codes
built in to a particular remote. This feature allows a remote
to control your equipment without needing to learn
individual signals, or replace a particular remote that is lost
or broken. The database used for the preprogrammed
Device codes may not be able to control all your devices.
In this case you can simply use the learning capabilities of
the remote.

Punch Through: A term coined to represent the ability to
use certain functions from one device under another. For
instance, when a remote is set to the "Television" device,
the transport keys may be "punched through" to operate the

5049

VCR, while the volume keys may be "punched through" to
operate the audio receiver.

Signals: See Ò codesÓ or Ò infrared.Ó

Thumbpad: A feature on certain remote controls, the

thumbpad is a single disc-shaped pointer which replicates
five functions for menu control: up, down, left, right and
enter. Also referred to as a Ò joystick.Ó

Transport control: A common term for the group of
VCR/LD/DVD media operation controls, such as fast­forward, rewind, play, stop, pause, etc.

Two-way: Some devices actually send information back to
a remote control during use. This is known as 2-way
communications. Most 2-way components can still be
controlled via a 1-way remote, although certain
workarounds must be used when learning signals. The
MX-500TMis capable of controlling most 2-way
components.
