Custom Programming of a complex home theater and/or a

multi-room sys-tem is one of the most challenging tasks

within an audio/video installa-tion. It involves an intimate

knowledge of how the components interact and exact details

on the proper sequences of control.

Only a professional custom installation company has the

requisite experience and training to quickly and effectively

customize a remote control for true automated operation.

Congratulations on your choice!

No More Pointing!

The combination of the MX-850 with it’s companion MRF-

250 base station will enable you to place your audio/video

components out of sight behind closed doors and/or in

another room of your house. The MX-850 sends radio sig-

nals to the MRF-250 through walls and closed doors (50-

100’ away, indoors or outdoors). The MRF-250 converts

your commands to the infrared signals that control your

A/V components.

1. The MX-850 remote con­trol sends radio waves in
every direction, so you
don’t have to point the
remote anymore!

2. Self-adhesive “Flashers”
affixed to the front panels of
components relay com­mands to components out
of “line-of-sight” with the
MRF-250.

3. The built-in Front Blaster sends com­mands to components in the same cabi­net space as the MRF-250.

Finding the MAIN Menu

The MAIN Button always takes you to the MAIN Menu

which may be named for the room the MX-850 controls.

The PAGE button switches between two MAIN Menu pages

IF you have more than ten remote controls.

When the top title bar says MAIN or the name of a Room,

you are on the MAIN Menu.

The lower title bar displays PAGE 1 or PAGE 2 as you

switch. Each of the remote controls the MX-850 replaces are

represented by a button next to the

corresponding screen label.

Turn On Your Entire System

Power on/off your entire system with the MAIN Menu

by following these steps:

1. Touch the MAIN button to make sure that you are on

the MAIN Menu. It doesn’t matter which page of the

MAIN Menu is displayed.

2. Touch the On or Off button as desired. Wait until all

components are correctly powered on or off. Turning on the

system may take ten to twenty

seconds.

3. If one component does not turn on/off, simply touch the

button again.

TIP – The remote control will not respond to a

new button push while is still issuing com-mands.

While busy, the indicator flashes at the top

of the screen next to the screen title.
