Windows Based MXEditor PC Software

T

he MXEditor software contains over 1,500 “code sets” of
Brand/Models including hard to find and specific discrete codes
that allow for precise control of all system components.
MXEditor also has the ability to learn new commands
from other remote controls and to Live Update the IR
database over the internet, guaranteeing compatibility
with any component you may add to your system in the
future. MXEditor can also be used on a Mac, if the user
has a Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP emulator.

One Hand Ergonomics Easier to Use than
Original Component Remotes!

The optimized layout enables you to naturally reach
the 5-way thumbpad and hard buttons to navigate

both

on-screen
menus and the critical Transport, Channel and Volume
controls. You’ll quickly discover that you prefer using the
MX-800 to control all the special features of your system
(especially personal video recorders, satellite receivers,
DVD players, surround sound receivers and digital cable
boxes). There will never be a reason to dig out the old
remotes again.

3. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to
the Infrared sensors on the front
panels of your components. The
Flashers relay commands to
components out of sight of the
MRF-200’s Front Blaster. The
Flashers plug in to the MRF-200’s
rear flasher line outputs via their
10 foot cables.

Simplicity via the
RF Base Station

Up to Sixteen Equipment Locations
Controlled from Any MX-800

Each MX-800 can be programmed to
operate equipment placed throughout
the house, by installing an MRF-200
base station at each location. It’s simple:
when you select a device located in the
home theater, the MX-800 talks to the
MRF-200 in that room. This makes
possible a dream come true! A macro
may be programmed to turn off all of the
televisions in the entire house with one
button press.Simply install an additional
MRF-200 base station at each television
location.

Control an Array of Identical TVs

The MRF-200 enables you to control up
to six identical televisions (or identical
VCRs,Satellite

receivers etc.) by routing
your commands only to the TV you select
on your MX-800.The other identical

TVs

will not receive operational commands.
