On-Screen Menu Options Overview

Quick Bar Menu

The Quick Bar menu was designed to contain up to ten of the most
needed commands for the device that is being used. Your Custom
Professional programs these commands, so any changes to your
current view will need to be adjusted by your installer.

Device Menu

When the basic commands found in the Quick Bar do not include
the action you need to perform, use the Device Menu to access all
of that device’s commands. For example, your custom programmer
may not have included an EJECT command in the DVD’s Quick Bar
menu. Use the Device Menu to see the additional commands and

eject the DVD from the player.

Shortcuts Menu

This user adjustable menu, Shortcuts, allows you to add common
activities (like Watch TV, Listen to Radio, etc.) for easy access.
Although any of these actions can be accomplished using the Main
Menu (see below), this would be a multi-step navigation process as
opposed to a single-click action.

Page 5

MRX-20 ADVANCED NETWORK SYSTEM CONTROLLER

Favorites Menu

Use this menu for instant access to your Favorite Channels, like
ABC, HBO, etc... These channels are previously set by your custom
installer.

Main Menu

This Main Menu will allow you to control any “connected device”
in your Total Control System. Depending upon programming, most
device /activities will be placed into subfolders (like Music,
Entertainment, etc.). Accessing these subfolders will allow you to
control any device that is available in the chosen room (see Rooms
Menu).
