Universal Remote Control MRF-260 Reference Guide

MRF-260 Base Station

Optimizing Narrow Band Reception
with Complete Control Remotes

Whole House Control

The MRF-260 base station is an “addressable”base station.RF
Addressing gives you the ability to control as many as 60 identical
components throughout a house.To enable better range and reliability
the MRF-260 is equipped with Narrow Band RF reception

1.Your URC Complete Control remote sends radio waves in
every direction, so you enjoy “No More Pointing”operation!

The MRF-260 shown
on left is actual size.

2.The MRF-260’s integrated Narrow
Band RF receiver receives commands
from any URC Complete Control remote.

.

3.The MRF-260’s
built-in Front Blaster
sends commands to
components in the
same cabinet space
as the MRF-260.

4.Self-adhesive “Flashers”affix to the
front panels of your components (over
the built-in IR sensor).The Flashers
relay commands to components out of
sight of the MRF-260’s Front Blaster.
The flashers plug in to the MRF-260’s
rear flasher line outputs via their 10 foot
cables.Uniquely,the MRF-260 can also
connect to rear panel IR Inputs via its
two adjustable Outputs.

Interference Rejection and
Extended Range via Narrow Band

The MRF-260 receives RF (radio frequency) signals via its integrated
RF receiver and antenna.The MRF-260 displays RF interference via a
bright red Status LED which flickers when interference is present if the
ID is set to 0. Simply relocate the MRF-260 should interference occur.

Two Fixed IR Outputs Plus ...

The MRF-260 is equipped with two fixed IR line outputs with standard

3.5 jacks for standard IR emitter/ flashers.

...Two Variable IR Outputs

Two adjustable IR line outputs.

The MRF-260 is equipped with two adjustable IR line outputs.

Each output can be individually matched to rear panel

IR inputs on any component that is designed
to be operated by a standard IR repeater.
The outputs utilize a 3.5mm jack and are
compatible with standard IR emitter/flashers
as well.

Two fixed IR line outputs.

Up To 15 Equipment Locations with Identical Components

Every URC Complete Control remote is “addressable.”They can be programmed to specifically control
components in a particular room by installing an MRF-260 base station at each location.In operation it’s
simple: when you select a device located in the Den,the remote only sends commands to the Den.When
you select a device located in the Family Room, the remote only sends commands there.

A MRF-260 Can Control an Array of Identical Components
or Identical Zones of a Multi Zone Preamp/Matrix Switcher

Each MRF-260 has four “addressable”IR Line Outputs.For example,you can control up to four identical
TV’s with one MRF-260 or route volume commands for a specific zone to a particular zone IR input on a
multi-zone preamp.If you have more than four identical components or zones, up to 15 additional MRF­260s can be installed to control them (thus allowing up to 60 identical components or zones in one house).

NOTE: The MRF-260 is ONLY compatible with Narrow Band remotes: the current versions of
the MX-3000, MX-950,MX-900,TX-1000,MX-850,MX-650 and the MX-350 remote controls.The
MRF-260 is compatible with all MX-950s,MX-900s and TX-1000s, but is NOT compatible with
MX-850, MX-650 or MX-350 remote controls manufactured before November 1,2006 or an
MX-3000 built before April,2005.You can identify the build date of a remote control by looking at
the serial number.The first 6 digits indicate the build date. If the serial number appears as 122905
014054, the first 6 digits indicate that the remote was built on December 29,2005.
