For questions about your custom programming call:

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 intimate knowledge of how
the components interact and exact details on the proper
sequences of control.

Only a Total Control dealer has the requisite experience and
training to quickly and effectively customize a remote control for
true automation.

Congratulations on your choice!

TRC-820 TWO-WAY REMOTE

Congratulations!

Thank you for purchasing the TRC-820 handheld remote
control for your Total Control system. This remote control
connects to your system via its integrated Wi-Fi antenna and
offers control of connected devices throughout your home or
small business.

Features and Benefits

● Two-Way Metadata Feedback

When the Total Control system is integrated with both
URC and compatible third-party products, the TRC-820
provides two-way feedback in addition to device
control. This includes album art, visual volume
feedback as well as real-time status of devices such as

thermostats, door locks, and cameras.

● User Defined Shortcuts

Quickly access your favorite system functions through a
user-defined shortcut menu. Imagine creating a menu
of one-button solutions that execute your preferred
activities.

● Pick-Up Sensor

The TRC-820, with its integrated pick-up sensor, comes
to life the moment its position is changed. Lift the
remote and it immediately wakes up, turns on the
backlight, illuminates the LCD screen, and instantly
connects to the local Wi-Fi and your Total Control
system.

● Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery and Charger

Save money by using the included rechargeable lithium
ion battery and charger.

Before Getting Started

● For use exclusively with URC’s Total Control system

The TRC-820 only functions in conjunction with URC’s
Total Control system in combination with an MRX
Advanced Network System Controller. This product will
not operate without integration with these devices.

● Programmable only by a URC Certified
Professional Custom Integrator

To fully control and automate your system, your
professional custom integrator must have detailed
knowledge of each component, the local area network
(LAN) architecture as well as Wi-Fi configuration and
other system connections.
Once configured to operate with your Total Control
system most changes to the TRC-820, or the system,
may be performed locally (at your home), or from any
remote location (via internet, with your permission).
