2 Introduction

The ET35 is designed to control up to 8 devices (TV, VCR, CD, SAT, CBL, DVD, AUDIO, Marmitek X-10 Home Automation). The Marmitek X-10 Home Automation key can be used to control any other audio/video appliance.

To allow direct control of all these appliances, in a convenient way, the ET35 includes a Touchscreen. The Touchscreen can display only the functions you need during a certain sequence e.g.: during the setting of ET35 to control an A/V appliance or when you are controlling one of your appliances.

The ET35 has unique features, combined to a big storage capacity, such as:

•"Macro" option: a total number of 20 key strokes can be stored under each of the 9 available Macro keys

• code lear ning, up to 40 keys per each mode

• channel scan/search function

• video plus / show-view key

• All power off feature: to switch off all the modes in 2 presses

• TV Volume/ Mute, whatever the last mode was selected

• Channel toggle key

• Customising of the screen, using a predefined list of symbols, according to your specific needs

• RF transmission to control your appliances through walls and ceilings (PowerMid Receiver required, sold separately).

•Marmitek X10 key, which will enable you to control lamps and electric appliances from a distance. For controlling your lamps or appliances, you will need additional home automation modules. Visit www.marmitek.com for more information.

The ET35 contains a library of codes that are pre-programmed into the remote control. This library covers nearly all the audio video products on the market today.

To make it easy for you to find the right code for your audio video appliance, we advise to use the CODE SEARCH feature.

11EASYTOUCH 35

under CBL, etc., then the Mode key must be "primed" for the new appliance. First follow the "Programming using 3 Digit Code Table" procedure and then enter any VCR code prior to carrying out the above search steps.

8 Programming using Manual Code Search

If you are unable to find your code either in the Code Tables or by using the Brand Search Method, you can try all the available codes for the appliance using the Manual Code Search.

1. Make sure your appliance is switched on. If not switch it on manually.

Notes: a. When all codes have been searched the LED will "error" flash indicating end of

search and Main Setup Screen will be displayed.

b. The above search procedure assumes that you want to store VCR codes under the

VCR key, Cable codes under CBL, etc. If you want, for example, to store a VCR code under CBL, etc., then the Mode key must be "primed" for the new appliance. First follow the "Programming using 3 Digit Code Table" procedure and then enter any VCR code prior to carrying out the above search steps.

c. If the Device does not have a Channel Up key, use the Play (VCR & CD/Audio only) or

the Power keys instead.

d. Code Search will start from the currently stored three digit number under that Mode

e.g. if the Mode has 100 codes and the currently stored code is 050 then the Code Search will start from 051 continuing to 100 before looping back to 000 and finishing at 050. This simplifies the search process by allowing you to bypass codes already tried.

The Channel-Toggle "P<P" key is a special form of Macro key. The feature allows you to program in two specific channels and switch between them with a single key-press. For example, you may want to switch between TV channels 123 and 456. Programming the "P<P" key will allow you to do this. Two sets of data are to be entered. Each set of data can be up to 4 key-presses and must be a minimum of 2. The first keypress in each set must be a Mode key. The following keystrokes can be any other key (except for Mode, Macro, Setup and Screen) although in practice, these keys will usually be digit keys. Note no "shifted" commands can be part of a "P<P" sequence and a SCREEN keypress counts as a keystroke.

14 Marmitek X-10 Home Automation

The ET35 remote allows you to control all electric appliances you have in your house. In addition to transmitting infrared signals, which controls your TV, VCR, CD, SAT, CBL, Audio and DVD, your remote is equipped with a radio transmitter sending Marmitek X10 signals, which will enable you to control lamps and electric appliances from a distance.

Here are some examples that you can do with your ET35 remote using home automation mode:

•Switch on/off, dim lights while you watch TV.

•Switch on the lights at night to frighten intruders when you detect something suspicious.

• Switch on your electric blanket before the film ends to have it warm when you go to sleep.

For controlling your lamps or appliances, you will need additional home automation modules. The modules are simply plugged into AC outlets with no additional wiring required. Visit www.marmitek.com for more information.
