Getting Started

Congratulations!

You’ve purchased one of the most advanced and easy to setup control sys­tems available. The Omega’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 Omega is enter which brands and models you own. If you
own a component too new to be in the library, the Omega uses advanced
learning technology to quickly set each Omega button, one at at time.
Setting up your Omega to replace all your existing remote controls can be
done in a few minutes. Basic Setup is described on pages 5 to 13.

The Omega’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
Omega’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 Omega using either the Pre-Programmed
Method or the Learning Method. However, all the buttons of the Omega
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

Power on the A/V component you wish to setup, so that you can test
codes by sending power off commands.

Refer to the pre-programmed code tables on pages 37 - 52 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

.universalremote.com

in the MX-650 area.

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 Omega 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.

Point the Omega at the component, then enter the first three digit
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 Omega, I entered 070 and looked at the TV. It didn’t turn
off, so I entered 139, then 147 and so on, until I found the code that pow­ered off the TV.

Note: If a component fails to turn off after you have entered all of the code

numbers listed for your brand, your component might actually be manu­factured by another brand. You can scan through the other brands in the
table using the UP and DOWN buttons to change the code number dis­played, then tapping either the Power ON, OFF or any other button to see
if the component responds to any command. Alternatively, you can opt to
use the Learning Method on Page 9 if you can’t find a code set in the built­in database.

When the component turns off, save the code number you entered
by pressing the SAVE button that appears on the screen.

Exit SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button two times. When
the display shows “MAIN”, you are back in normal operating
mode.

Line-up the Omega with your old remote control, head-to-head,
one or two inches apart.

On the Omega, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons
at the same time 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 Omega will time out and return to
normal operation.

Press the LEARN button.

The top of the screen will change to “LEARN”.

Press and hold the button you want on your old remote control until
the display changes to either “GOOD” or “FAILED”.

If the “GOOD” label appears on top of the display, you were successful.
Now, press the next button you wish to teach. Keep repeating steps 6
through 7 until you have learned all the buttons you want.

If the “FAILED” label appears on top of the display, try to teach the
same button in Omega once again by repeating steps 6-7.

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).

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.

The Omega

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 Omega 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
Omega’s AUDIO device to adjust the volume. Constantly switching the
Omega to TV or AUDIO to adjust the volume is inconvenient in daily
life.

You can use Punch Through to set the Omega’s volume buttons to
always control the sound in your system. That way when the Omega 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:

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 Omega will time
out automatically.

Press the PUNCH button.

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”.

Universal Remote Control, Inc.

Press the device button for the device that doesn’t have volume
control commands yet (i.e.,DVD). This is the device you are going
to PUNCH TO for the volume and mute commands.

Note: If you wish to PUNCH to the MAIN device, press the POWER OFF
button at this time.

The bottom of the display will then flash “PUNCH FROM”. Now
you select the device that has the volume commands you want
(i.e.,TV for systems using the TV speakers, AUDIO for systems with
surround sound receivers). The bottom of the
display will flash “SAVED”.

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 listed here:

POWER - Power On and Power Off
MENU - Menu, Guide, Info, Exit and the four cursor buttons.

the SAVE button.

If you don’t want backlighting at all (this extends battery life), press the ON
button that appears on the screen. The ON will change to OFF. Press the
SAVE button. Exit the setup mode by pressing the MAIN button.

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).

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 relabel the MAIN title to the room the Omega controls.

Select the title to edit by pressing the adjacent hard button.

Edit the text (described on steps 4 and 5 on page 17).

Press the button you edited to save the changes. Here’s an example:

renamed with spaces and
the pages of the unused
devices are hidden so that an
accidental press of a blank
button does nothing.

The MAIN Menu title
has been changed to

Macro Button Setup

Imagine turning on your TV, your DVD player and your surround sound
receiver by pressing a single button on your Omega! What would nor­mally take three remotes and three button pushes, the Omega 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:

Enter the SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and
ENT for three seconds.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Omega will time
out automatically.

Press the MACRO button. The top of the display will show
“MACRO”. The bottom of the display will flash “SELECT”.

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.

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.

The Omega

Navigate to the Device and Page that has a button you want in your
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.

Press the Channel UP button to SAVE your macro. The screen
returns to the SETUP menu.

Press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operation.

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 but­tons, you can make TV, cable or satellite operation fun and easy. To
setup a Favorite Channel button, follow these steps:

Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT
for three seconds.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Omega will time
out automatically.

Press the FAV display button.

The top of the display will show “FAV”. The bottom of the display
will flash “SELECT”.

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. 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.

Press either the TV, SAT or CABLE Device button (select the device you
use to enter channel numbers).

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.

identical numbers by pressing the PAUSE button. Each press of the PAUSE
button increases the delay by a half second.

Press the Channel UP button to SAVE your macro. The screen
returns to the SETUP menu.

Press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operation.

Hiding and Adding Pages

Each of your Omega 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.

Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT
for three seconds.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Omega will time
out automatically.

The Omega

Utilizing Optional RF Base Stations

You can use the Omega 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 Omega 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 Omega also sends radio signals in every direction. By pur­chasing the MRF-100 or the addressable MRF-250 or MRF-300 base sta­tions, you can operate your equipment with the Omega 50 to 100 feet
away (through walls, doors, cabinets, inside or outside). Since the RF Base
Station picks up the Omega's radio signals from any direction, regardless
of distance, the Omega doesn’t have to be pointed!

Using MRF-250 or MRF-300 Addressable Base Stations

By installing an MRF-250 or MRF-300 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 Omega. In operation it’s simple:
when you select a device located in the Den, the Omega only talks to the
base station in the Den. When you select a device located in the Family
Room, the Omega only talks to it!

When used with an MRF-250 or MRF-300 base station, the Omega can be
programmed to control identical components, for example, a media room
array of TV’s . The intelligent routing of the MRF-250 or the MRF-300 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 MRF-250’s or MRF-300’s can
be installed to control them (thus allowing up to 90 identical components
in one house).

Note: The Omega's radio signals will not control components directly.
Components that came with "no pointing" radio remote controls cannot
be operated by the Omega 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 Omega.

Universal Remote Control, Inc.

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.

The Omega sends radio signal to
the MRF-100, MRF-250 or the
MRF-300 RF Base Stations.

Self-adhesive “flashers” (included with the MRF-250 or the
MRF-300) 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.

RF Settings Overview

The Omega 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 EMITT
to a specific line output, not the default setting of ALL.

Here are the factory default RF settings of the Omega:

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 com-

mands 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

Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT
for three seconds.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Omega will time
out automatically.

Press the PAGE button until page two of Setup is displayed (RF is the
only choice on Page 2).

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
Omega, one from the RF base station). A good reason to set the signal to
IR only is that another room has an MRF-100 base station (no RF address)
so it will receive commands from the Omega unless it is set to IR only.

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
MRF-250 or MRF-300 assigned a unique Receiver ID#. You program
each or all of your Omega devices to the appropriate equipment loca­tion by assigning the corresponding ID# in the RF Settings Menus.

From the RF Settings Menu, select ID#.

Decide whether you are changing the ID# for all devices or just one
of the devices of the Omega.

EMITT - Setting IR Emitter Outputs

The MRF-250 and MRF-300 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 Omega is set to route IR com­mands from any device to ALL IR Line Outputs simultaneously. To
change the Omega default settings follow these steps:

From the RF Settings Menu, select EMITT.

Decide whether you are changing the Emitter settings for all devices
or just one of the devices of the Omega.

Select ALL to change the Emitter settings to

BLAST - Setting the Front Panel Blaster On or Off

The MRF-250 and MRF-300 Base Stations have 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 Omega’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 Pre-Programmed codes are
found on page 5).
