Getting Started
Congratulations!
You’ve purchased one of the most advanced and easy to setup control systems available. The NX-RM610’s built-in library includes
thousands of different brands and models of remote controls. In
most systems, all you have to do to setup the NX-RM610 is enter
which brands and models you own. If you own a component too
new to be in the library, the NX-RM610 uses advanced learning
technology to quickly set each NX-RM610 button, one at a time.
Setting up your NX-RM610 to replace all your existing remote controls can be done in a few minutes. Basic Setup is described on
pages 5 to 13.
The NX-RM610’s exciting advanced features automate and customize operation in many ways. You could use Macro Setup to
power on all of your components and start the show with the press
of one button! With the N-RM610’s unique Favorite Channel capability, you can tune in a channel with the press of one button
instead of entering the entire channel number. Any of the button
names on the display can be edited, as you like. It is best to delay
any Advanced Setup (described on pages 14 to 36) until after you
finish Basic Setup.
Battery Installation
Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing up the cover
lock. Insert four AAA batteries into the battery compartment as
shown in the diagram.

Basic Setup
You can start setting up your NX-RM610 using either the
Pre-Programmed Method or the Learning Method. However, all
the buttons of the NX-RM610 are setup at once with the
Pre-Programmed Method, so it is usually faster than the
one-button-at-a-time Learning Method.
Pre-Programmed Method
1
Power on the A/V component you wish to setup, so that you can
test codes by sending power off commands.
2
Refer to the pre-programmed code tables on pages 37 - 58 and write
down the code numbers listed for your A/V component. The code
numbers are listed by categories of devices, then by brand. See page
37 for a category list. Code tables with model numbers are available
at www.nxgtech.com in the NX-RM610 area.
3
Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons for
approximately three seconds. The top of the display will show
”SETUP”. You are in SETUP mode now.
Note: You have 30 seconds to perform a step while you are in
SETUP mode. If you don’t press a button within that time, the
NX-RM610 will time out and return to normal operation.

In this step you select which code table to use. Thus, you can program a device named “TV” with codes from the CABLE code tables
and a device named “VIDEO” with codes from the TV code table.
If you don’t see the code table you need, press the PAGE buttons
to reveal the other page of code table categories, then select the
code table you want to use.
Note: Each name that appears in the display may include several
types of components. For example, the AUX category includes
many types of custom installation devices. See page 37 for a list
of component types each Code Table contains.
7
Point the NX-RM610 at the component, then enter the first threedigit code number from your notes using the numbered buttons.
After you enter each three-digit number, look at the component to
see if it turned off.
Continue to enter code numbers until the component turns off.
For Example: I have a Sony TV. I found the code numbers 070,
139, 147, 126, 185, 194 and 085 under Sony in the TV TABLE.
Using the numbered buttons on the NX-RM610, I entered 070
and looked at the TV. It didn’t turnoff, so I entered 139, then 147
and so on, until I found the code that powered off the TV.

you want.
If the “FAILED” label appears on top of the display, try to teach the
same button in NX-RM610 once again by repeating steps 6-7.
8
Continue to teach any commands from any of your remote controls
by repeating steps 5-7 (to go back to step five, press MAIN once).
9
Once you completed teaching all the buttons, return to normal
operation by pressing the MAIN button twice. Test all your new
commands. If any of them don’t work, try learning again using
these notes:
Move to another room. Plasma TVs, sunlight, halogen or quartz
lighting can interfere with the learning process.
Although the old remote control seems to work fine, change the
batteries to fresh alkaline batteries.
Vary the distance between the remote controls gradually. Try
1/4”, 1”, 2”and so on, up to 4 feet.
Tap the button on the original remote control instead of pressing
and holding it during the learning process.

Volume Control Punch Through
In most home entertainment systems, the sound volume is only
controlled by one device. In some systems, it is the TV speakers
that make the sound, so you would use the TV device on the
NX-RM610 to raise and lower the volume. In another system, it
might be a surround sound receiver and speakers that control the
sound, so you would use the N-RM610’s AUDIO device to adjust
the volume. Constantly switching the N-RM610 to TV or AUDIO
to adjust the volume is inconvenient in daily life.
You can use Punch Through to set the NX-RM610’s volume buttons
to always control the sound in your system. That way when the
NX-RM610 is set to VCR or DVD, the volume up, down and mute
buttons will work perfectly without switching back to AUDIO or TV.
Here’s how:
1
Enter Setup mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for
three seconds. The top of the display show you are in SETUP mode
now.
Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the
NX-RM610 will time out automatically.
2
Press the PUNCH button.
3
Press the VOL button. The display confirms by displaying “VOL” at
the top of the screen. This sets up the group of three buttons
(Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute) in one action!
The bottom of the display flashes “PUNCH TO”

6
Repeat steps 3-5 until all your devices operate the volume perfectly.
Press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operating mode and
test your Punch Through settings.
Note: The Punch Through feature is not limited to volume and
can also be applied to channel or other functions. If you find
yourself switching to a particular device frequently to use a group
of controls, consider using Punch Through for another group, as

8
Once you’ve finished editing buttons, press the MAIN button four
times to return to normal operation.
Edit the MAIN Menu Title or a MAIN Menu Device Label
You can change the title of the MAIN Menu or a MAIN Menu device
label by following these steps after you’ve entered TEXT Edit mode
(described in the steps one through four in the preceding pages).
1
Once you’ve entered TEXT Edit mode, the top of the screen displays
EDIT and the first ten devices of the MAIN Menu. There are five pages
you can access via the Page UP or DOWN buttons. When the top of
the screen says EDIT, pressing a device button jumps to the pages for
that device so that you can edit a device’s LCD buttons normally.
However, if you continue to tap the Page button, the top of the screen
will change from EDIT to MAIN. While it says MAIN, there are two
pages of LCD buttons. The first two list the Devices of the MAIN Menu
and enable you to change the device names when pressed. The last
page titled MAIN has only one entry for the LCD buttons; “MAIN”.
When you press the corresponding hard button, you can re-label the
MAIN title to the room the NX-RM610 controls.
2
Select the title to edit by pressing the adjacent hard button.
3
Edit the text (described on steps 4 and 5 on page 17).
4
Press the button you edited to save the changes. Here’s an example:
NX-RM610

19 Macro Button Setup
Imagine turning on your TV, your DVD player and your surround
sound receiver by pressing a single button on your NX-RM610!
What would normally take three remotes and pushing three buttons, the NX-RM610 can accomplish with the press of one button.
We call that a “Macro”. Any of the Display buttons, the Power On or
the Power Off buttons (on any Device or Page) can be set to be
Macro buttons!
To setup a macro button, follow these easy steps:
1
Enter the SET UP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT
for three seconds.
Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the NX-RM610 will
time out automatically.
2
Press the MACRO button. The top of the display will show “MACRO”.
The bottom of the display will flash “SELECT”.
3
Navigate to the Device and Page where there is a button you would
like to set as a Macro button using the MAIN, DEVICE, and PAGE
buttons.
Advanced Options:
If you wish to set one of the DEVICE buttons as a macro, on step 3, tap the Page
button until the top of the display changes to MAIN. Using the PAGE button you
can navigate to MAIN page 1 or page 2 before going on to Step 4.
Another option for DEVICE button macros is to only send the macro if the button
is pressed and held. This is setup by entering a delay as the first step of the
macro.
The amount of delay determines how long the user must press the button before
the macro is sent. The advantage of this option is that a normal press of the
DEVICE button will simply switch devices without issuing the macro.
4
Press the button you want to set as a Macro button. The top of the
screen will display the label of the button you selected. At the bottom
of the screen it displays”STEP0”, indicating that no macro steps have
been entered yet.
5
Navigate to the Device and Page that has a button you want in your
NX-RM610
19
NX-RM610_Remote_Manual 10/6/08 4:04 PM Page 21
macro using the MAIN, DEVICE and PAGE buttons. Then press the
button with the command you want. Whenever a button is pressed,
another Macro step is counted and displayed at the bottom of the
screen.
Don’t worry about the number of steps. Each macro button can
store up to 190 steps, so you are not likely to run out of steps!
Note: You can program delays in between commands by pressing
the PAUSE button. Each press adds half a second to the delay.
6.Press the Channel UP button to SAVE your macro. The screen
returns to the SET UP menu.
7.Press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operation.

21 Favorite Channel Setup
Imagine surfing all your favorite channels, without ever typing in a
channel number. By simply setting up each of the favorite channel
but-tons, you can make TV, cable or satellite operation fun and
easy. To setup a Favorite Channel button, follow these steps:
1
Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for
three seconds.
Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the NX-RM610
will time out automatically.
2
Press the FAV display button.
The top of the display will show “FAV”. The bottom of the display
will flash “SELECT”.
3
Use the PAGE or FAV buttons until you can see the name (i. e. ,
ABC, CBS, NBC) of the favorite channel you wish to setup.
Press the favorite channel button you wish to setup.
4
The top of the screen changes to show the channel name. The
bottom of the screen displays”STEP0”, indicating that you have
not entered the channel number yet.
5
Press either the TV, SAT or CABLE Device button (select the
device you use to enter channel numbers).
6
Press each of the number buttons for the channel.
Note: Some brands of television (for example: SONY) require an
ENT (Enter) command after the channel numbers for the favorite
macro to work correctly.

NX-RM610_Remote_Manual 10/6/08 4:04 PM Page 23
Note: If a number is repeated when setting the channel
(for example, channel “33” or “522”) it is usually best to set a
half second delay in between the identical numbers by pressing the
PAUSE button. Each press of the PAUSE button increases the delay
by a half second.
7
Press the Channel UP button to SAVE your macro. The screen
returns to the SETUP menu.

23 Hiding and Adding Pages
Each of your NX-RM610 Devices contains up to four pages (if a
page has no IR data, it will be HIDDEN). However, you can HIDE
any page from the users view. A hidden page still appears in SETUP
modes, so can be used in macros. If you change your mind and
would like the user to see a hidden page, you can ADD them. You
can add or hide pages on devices, or on your favorite channel
pages using this simple process:
Note: Be sure to program your Macros before you hide pages
with a potential macro step in them. You can’t access hidden
pages during macro setup. However, after you finish Macro
setup, you can hide pages without affecting operation of your
macros.

28 Utilizing Optional RF Base Stations
You can use the NX-RM610 as you would your other remote controls. It
transmits very powerful line-of-sight output using infrared light commands
(invisible to the naked eye). When you point the NX-RM610 at the components, expect the range to be between 30 and 50 feet. When the remote is
not pointed in the general direction of the components, the range will vary
(depending on reflective surfaces, lighting, etc.).
However, the NX-RM610 also sends radio signals in every direction. By
purchasing the the addressable NX-RF200 Base Station, you can operate
your equipment with the NX-RM610 fifty to 100 feet away (through walls,
doors, cabinets, inside or outside). Since the RF Base Station picks up the
NX-RM610’s radio signals from any direction, regardless of distance, the
NX-RM610 doesn’t have to be pointed!
Using NX-RF200 Base Station Addressable Base Stations
By installing an NX-RF200 Base Station you gain freedom from interference
from a nearby room, house or condo where someone else might be using
an RF remote control. Addressable base stations are assigned one of 15
unique ID#s.
This allows multiple equipment locations in one house to be controlled by
any NX-RM610. In operation it’s simple: when you select a device located
in the Den, the NX-RM610 only talks to the base station in the Den. When
you select a device located in the Family Room, the NX-RM610 only talks
to it!
When used with an NX-RF200 Base Station, the NX-RM610 can be programmed to control identical components, for example, a media room
array of TV’s. The intelligent routing of the NX-RF200 Base Station will send
your commands only to the TV you want to control. The other identical TV’s
will not receive commands. Of course, if your system utilizes identical
satellite receivers, cable boxes, VCR’s or disc changers you can utilize IR
routing just as easily for them. If you have more than six identical components, up to 15 addressable NX-RF200 Base Station can be installed to
control them (thus allowing up to 90 identical components in one house).
Note: The NX-RM610’s radio signals will not control components directly.
Components that came with “no pointing” radio remote controls cannot be
operated by the NX-RM610 unless the component can be switched to standard infrared control via its internal menus. Some remote control ceiling
fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the NX-RM610.

NX-RM610_Remote_Manual 10/6/08 4:05 PM Page 30
The NX-RM610 sends radio
signal to the NX-RF200
Base Station.
The RF Base Station converts radio
signals to standard infrared commands
and sends them out via a built-in front
blaster and/or the flashers to components. The blaster is useful when a
number of components are in the
same cabinet shelf space.
Self-adhesive “flashers” (included with the
NX-RF200) affix to the front panels of your
components. The flashers relay infrared commands
to components out-of-sight of the front blaster. The
flashers plug into the rear flasher line output jacks.
Each flasher has a 10' cable to easily reach
components on nearby shelves.

30 RF Settings Overview
The NX-RM610 is factory set to ID#0. Although this will work with
any base station set to ID#0, it does not allow any emitter or blaster
configuration. Before changing any emitter or blaster settings, you
must reset the ID# to an address other than 0.
By setting the RF addresses for each device you can operate
identical devices (like a stack of satellite receivers, cable boxes, or
an array of identical TV sets). You do this by assigning a valid ID#,
then selecting a particular IR Emitter Output via EMITT settings.
To ensure that the identical components are not affected by line of
sight commands, you set the IR/RF for the device to RF Only.
Many components with on-screen GUI’s (guides, menus etc.) are
extremely sensitive to IR overload/saturation. The best way of
positioning emitters for these devices is to set the IR/RF setting to
RF only and to set the EMITTER to a specific line output, not the
default setting of ALL.
Here are the factory default RF settings of the NX-RM610:
IR/RF (Type of Signal) – All devices are factory set to send both
an IR line of sight signal and an omnidirectional RF signal.
ID# (Base Station Address) – All devices are factory set with ID #0.
EMITT (IR Emitter Line Output) – All devices are factory set to
output IR commands through ALL IR Emitter Line Outputs.
BLAST (Base Station Front Panel Blaster) – The blaster is factory
set to be on.
Testing for Interference - When ID#0 is set on the bottom of the
base station, the STATUS LED will flicker if interference is present.
Once the base station is moved to a location where the LED does
not flicker, the ID# can be changed to one of the valid addresses
(1-9 or A-F).
Changing the RF Settings
1
Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT
for three seconds.
Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the
NX-RM610 will time out automatically.

After you’ve made a new setting and SAVED your change, use the
EXIT button to return to the Setup menu. Use the MAIN button to
return to normal operation.
IR/RF Signal Setting
You can set the signal to be IR line-of-sight only, RF only or IR and
RF simultaneously. Additionally, you can set the signal the same
way for ALL ten of your devices OR you can set the signal
differently for each device (the plasma TV could be set to be IR
line-of-sight only, while the DVD player and the Satellite receiver are
set to be RF only). A good reason to set the signal to RF only is to
prevent too much IR being sent to a sensitive component from two
arrivals at the front panel (one directly from the NX-RM610, one
from the RF base station). A good reason to set the signal to IR
only is that another room has an NX-RF200 base station (no RF
address) so it will receive commands from the NX-RM610 unless
it is set to IR only.

33 ID # - Setting Base Station Address
When you are installing a system within 100 feet of another equipment location in the same home OR near a home, condo, yacht or
motor home that might potentially have an RF remote control of
any kind, it is recommended that you use an addressable base station and set the address as described here.
You can operate up to 15 different equipment locations, each with
an NX-RF200 assigned a unique Receiver ID#. You program each or
all of your NX-RM610 devices to the appropriate equipment location by assigning the corresponding ID# in the RF Settings Menus.

EMITT - Setting IR Emitter Outputs
The NX-RF200 Base Stations enable you to route or steer the IR
commands from any Device to any or all of the IR Line Outputs.
This allows you to control identical devices using the exact same IR
commands (such as an array of television sets in a media room or
a stack of identical satellite receivers installed in a central location
with one satellite receiver dedicated to each room with a television).
Each button push (or macro step) is routed to the specific IR Line
Output you’ve assigned to a device. In the factory set default settings, the NX-RM610 is set to route IR commands from any device
to ALL IR Line Outputs simultaneously. To change the NX-RM610
default settings follow these steps:
1
From the RF Settings Menu, select EMITT.

BLAST - Setting the Front Panel Blaster On or Off
The NX-RF200 Base Stations has a configurable front panel high
power IR LED or “blaster” for controlling components in the same
cabinet space without emitters attached to their front panel. The
front panel blaster can overpower or saturate the sensors of some
A/V components, so if intermittent operation occurs, the blaster
should be turned off.
The blaster is incompatible with a stack of identical components,
since all components will receive IR commands at once, no matter
what device is selected. Turn off the front panel blaster by following
the steps described on the next page:

Pre-Programmed Code Tables
The NX-RM610’s Pre-Programmed code library is divided into categories (TV, VCR, AUX, etc.). Each category actually includes many
types of components. For example, the VCR category includes
TV/VCR combo units.
Within each category, the code numbers are listed in rows by brand
(Sony, Panasonic, B & K, etc.). Some brands have more than one
three digit code for you to try. Just circle the correct row and refer
to it while you setup (step-by-step instructions for using PreProgrammed codes are found on page 5).
