TRC-780 OWNER’S MANUAL
Congratulations!
You’ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering, the Total Control TRC-780. The TRC-780 achieves a magnificent combination of power and flexibility by simplifying and
automating the operation of even the most complex systems.
The MRX-10 controller is required to make the TRC-780 work. The
combination of the TRC-780 and MRX-10 create a robust and powerful system.
Backlit Color OLED Screen Buttons
When any button is pressed, the color OLED screen as well as the
remote buttons light up. Once the screen is lit, each of the six buttons
on either side of the screen will have a label. These button labels
change based on what you are watching or listening to. Thus, if you
have selected Watch TV, you will see a list of buttons that are useful
to that activity. If you are listening to your iPod through a PSX-2, you
will be able to browse the iPod content.
RF “No Rules” Operation
The TRC-780 communicates directly to the MRX-10 via 2.4 GHz
bidirectional RF. This gives the TRC-780 the ability to control your
system without being in direct line of sight of the equipment.
Your custom installer may have installed a ZR-1 Repeater to improve
communication between the TRC-780 remote controls and the
MRX-10 in your system.
Replacing the Batteries
Unlock the battery cover by pushing up on the spring lock at the
bottom of the cover. Remove the cover.
Observe the + and – polarity indicators inside the battery compartment and the batteries. Place the
four AA batteries into their positions in the battery compartment.
Now, replace the battery cover and
snap it into place.

Displaying the Settings Screen
You can adjust settings of the TRC-780 whenever
you like by pressing and holding the MAIN + ENT
button for three seconds. When you do the screen
will change to the Settings Menu. If you do not press
any button on the Settings screen, the TRC-780 will
beep signifying a time-out after 30 seconds and
return to the previous setting or main screen.
There are two pages of Settings screens. To access
the other page, press either of the page buttons.
To select a setting, press the corresponding button.
To go back a step or to get out of the settings screen,
press either the MAIN button or the EXIT button on
the TRC-780.

remotes last saved brightness setting.
Note: The higher the brightness, the faster the
batteries will deplete.
2. Automatic Turn Off: Adjust the duration the
OLED screen will stay illuminated after a button
is pressed. Pressing the left and right screen
buttons, next to the slider bar, will change how
long the OLED screen will stay on.

The Button Light settings page provides two
configurable options for how the TRC-780’s
hard buttons should behave.
1. Automatic ON
: Adjusting this setting will
control when the hard button backlight

button is pressed the button back light will automatically turn On.
b. Automatic Light No: The only way to turn on the hard
button back-light is to press the dedicated Lights button
located on the right side of the remote control.
Once all changes have been made, press the Save button.
Pressing the Cancel button will revert to the remotes last saved
setting.
Note: The more often the back light turns On, the faster the
batteries will deplete.
2. Automatic T
urn Off: You can adjust the amount of time the backlight will remain after a button is pressed.
Press the left and right screen buttons next
to the slider bar to change the duration.
Pressing the Less side will decrease the time
in steps down to a minimum of 5seconds.
Pressing the More side will increase the time
in steps up to a maximum of 60 seconds.
Once the setting has been adjusted, simply
press the Save button. Pressing the Cancel button will revert to
the remote’s last saved Automatic Turn off setting.
Note: The longer the backlight stays on, the faster the batteries
will deplete.

Once the setting is adjusted, press
the Save button. Pressing the Cancel button will revert to the
remotes last saved Power Remaining setting.

out to all the other remotes and keypads in the
system.
