Custom installation 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 install a PSX-2 Personal Server for true
automated operation.

PSX-2 OWNERS MANUAL

Introduction

The PSX-2’s exciting features, combined with the two way MX-6000
color touch screen remote control or a TV with component video
inputs and any URC remote control, transform any iPod into a multi­media personal server with all browsing and media selection taking
place on the screen of the MX-6000 or on the screen of the TV.
Unique personal server features take the drudgery out of browsing
for new content. Delightful cover art for your music appears on
screen. You can effortlessly browse your albums, artists, podcasts,
music videos, etc with a glance. At last, you can personally browse
your media collection, without walking to your PC, without ever
touching the iPod itself. Browse your iPod's menus from anywhere in
the house on the personal screen of the MX-6000 or from the
connected TV screen.

Instant Shuffle Play via URC Remotes

Just press one button to shuffle play unique subsets of your music,
instead of always shuffle playing everything on your iPod. At last,
you won’t have to skip past the heavy metal when all you feel like
listening to is Jazz. Additionally, whenever you hear something you’d
like more of, the unique More button instantly queues up more from
the artist who is now playing. The PSX-2 has a front IR Window for
simple line of sight control and a rear panel IR input for RF base sta­tion connections (enabling no pointing operation from all over your
home).

Component Video Powered On TV Screen Interface

HD quality Component outputs provide a perfect on screen brows­ing interface, plus outputs video from the iPods that support it (iPod
Classic, Nano 3G, iPhone and iPod Touch).

Synchronize iPod to your Mac or PC

Via Universal Remote Control’s PSXLink software, you can update
your iPod’s music and video content, without having to remove it
from the dock. PSXLink is a free download for both Macs and PCs.

Charge your iPod

The PSX-2 keeps any iPod/iPhone charged and ready to go. (iPod,
iPod Classic, Nano 3G, iPod Touch, and iPhone).

PSX-2 OWNERS MANUAL

Using the PSX-2 via On Screen TV Interface

After connecting the PSX-2 to your Television’s component video inputs,
place an iPod in the PSX-2. Note that you can freely change iPods at
any time, except when you are synchronizing your iPod to iTunes.

Once an iPod is placed in the PSX-2, pick up your URC remote con­trol and simply select the PSX-2 device on your URC remote. Your
custom installer will have programmed a macro that turns on the TV,
selects the correct input and displays the On Screen TV interface.

To use the interface, simply press the Menu button and use the UP,
DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and OK buttons to navigate to the content you
want to play back.

You’ll find that you can navigate to any of the Personal Server fea­tures of the PSX-2 by using Up, Down, Left, Right and OK on your
URC remote control. So, at any time, you can opt to shuffle play any
of your genres, play more from the artist, album or genre playing,
search for any song, artist or album by entering a letter or two, even
build your own jukebox on the fly. If you need more information on
any of these personal server features, reference the explanations on
the next few pages. The On Screen TV interface operates identically
to the MX-6000 interface.

Video Playback from Newer iPods and iPhones

The PSX-2 is compatible with iPhones (both 2G and 3G) and newer
iPods (some older iPods only support composite, they will not play
video, though you’ll be able to browse and select music perfectly).
