Lexicon 700t Quick Start Manual

Lexicon 700t

Quick Start Guide

The 700t System Controller is designed to provide simple, fast control of even the most
sophisticated home theater and multimedia presentation systems. By providing a unique
graphical interface, the 700t can replace a clutter of remote controls and sheets of
instructions. An elegant blue and paper-white touchscreen housed in an ergonomic,
rugged ABS enclosure, the 700t is a powerful controller that is incredibly simple to use.
Even the most complicated systems can be operated without peering into manuals and
grasping for tiny buttons on little black plastic remotes.
