Custom Programming of a complex home theater and/or
a multi-room system is one of the most challenging tasks
within an audio/video installation. It involves an intimate
knowledge of how the components interact and exact
details on the proper sequences of control.
Only a Complete Control dealer has the requisite
experience and training to quickly and effectively customize a remote control for true automated operation.

Congratulations
You’ve purchased a unique synthesis
of hardware and software engineering, the Complete Control MX-5000i.
The twin goals of the design team
were to improve the elegance and
usability of touch screens through the
physical design while providing a
new standard in brightness, clarity
and animation for the touch screen
itself.
Easy Operation
By assigning the important home theater operational buttons to the
natural resting place of the end users thumbs, the MX-5000i
achieves a new standard in use and comfort.
Automatic Backlighting
The integral motion sensor detects any movement of the touch screen
and automatically backlights the screen. You do not have to press any
button to display the screen. Any movement of the MX-5000i renews
the backlighting. To adjust the backlighting, see page 9.
Programming the MX-5000i
To fully automate an audio/video system and integrate two way
automation of servers etc. the programmer must have a detailed
knowledge of each component, LAN configuration, Wi-Fi optimization and how the system is connected and operated. Only a trained
and certified professional audio/video installer can install an MX5000i automation system in a timely and efficient manner.
How do I reset the MX-5000i
Normally, resetting the MX-5000i is not necessary. However, if the
MX-5000i's
you should press the MAIN and EXIT buttons simultaneously for
3 seconds. It will restart the MX-5000i.

Connecting the Battery Pack
Unlock the rear cover by pressing down on the spring lock at the
top of the cover.
Remove the cover. For shipment from the factory, the battery is left
out of the MX-5000i. Place the battery into the battery compartment, making sure you align the contacts on the battery to the contacts on the MX-5000i. The battery will snap into place when
aligned properly.
Replace the cover and snap it into place.
Using the Charging Base
Plug the 6V DC adapter into a power outlet
and into the back of the charging base.
Gently place the MX-5000i into the cradle of
the charging base. It automatically aligns
itself to the contacts on the charging base.
The status indicator should immediately light.
Red indicates that it is charging. Blue shows
that it is fully charged. There is no harm in
leaving the MX-5000i on its charging base
whenever it is not in use.
Red indicates charging, Blue that
the remote is fully charged.
Two Way via Wi-Fi
To use the MX-5000i with any two way companion product, the
MX-5000i must be configured by your installer to be part of a LAN
(local area network) via a Wi-Fi b/g access point or router. This is
not user configurable. If you have any questions, consult with your
custom installer.

Optional RF “No Rules” Operation
In combination with an MSC-400 Master System Controller, or an
RF Base Station, the MX-5000i can control your system without
being in line-of-sight of the equipment.
The MSC-400 enhances the capabilities of the MX-5000i by storing
and issuing Smart Macros to your main system components. It is
triggered by RF Smart Macro commands via RF (radio frequency). In
addition, your MX-5000i can control components in secondary
rooms and systems via MRF-350i or MRF-260i RF base stations.
1. The MX-5000i sends
radio waves in every direction, so you don’t have to
point the remote anymore!
2. The RFX-250i RF Sensor can be
freely positioned for optimal reception.
3. The MSC-400 can control IR, RS232 and Relay controlled devices.
4. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to the
Infrared sensors on the front panels of
your components. Uniquely, all
Complete Control base stations can also
connect to components with rear panel
IR Inputs via adjustable IR Line Outputs.
The MSC-400 offers RS-232 control via
rear panel connections as well.
