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.
