Introduction
The combination of the MX-800 with it’s companion MRF-200 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-800 sends radio signals to the MRF-200 throughout your house (50-100’ away, indoors or out­doors). The MRF-200 converts your commands to the infrared signals that control your A/V components.
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.
2.The MRF-200’s built-in Front Blaster sends commands to components in the same cabinet space as the MRF-200.
1.The MX-800 remote con­trol sends radio waves in every direction, so you don’t have to point the remote any­more!

Features and Benefits
NNoo MMoorree PPooiinnttiinngg -- RRaaddiioo WWaavveess PPeenneettrraattee WWaallllss,, DDoooorrss aanndd FFlloooorrss The MRF-200 receives the RF signals of the MX-800 remote control from any direction. You no longer need to point the remote control at any of your A/V components. You can also place the components distracting blinking lights and displays behind closed doors and/or in another room!
RReelliiaabbllee CCoonnttrrooll TThhrroouugghhoouutt YYoouurr HHoouussee The MRF-200 receives RF signals from your MX-800 from within a radius of 50 to 100 feet enabling you to control out of sight audio/video components behind walls and closed doors. Range depends on the structure of your home and the amount of interference generated by computers, microprocessors and other devices within and nearby your home.
UUpp TToo SSiixxtteeeenn EEqquuiippmmeenntt LLooccaattiioonnss CCoonnttrroolllleedd FFrroomm AAnnyy MMXX--880000 Each MX-800 can be programmed to operate equipment placed throughout the house, by installing an MRF-200 base station at each location. Each MRF­200 is assigned one of 16 unique ID#’s. In operation it’s simple: when you select a device located in the Den, the MX-800 only talks to the MRF-200 in the Den. When you select a device located in the Family Room, the MX-800 only talks to it!
NNoo PPooiinnttiinngg RReemmoottee CCoonnttrroollss IInn EEvveerryy RRoooomm You can opt to control a multi-room or multi-zone system via RF remote con­trol by placing an MX-800 in each room of your home.
CCoonnttrrooll AA MMeeddiiaa RRoooomm AArrrraayy ooff IIddeennttiiccaall TTVVss The MRF-200’s unique assignable IR flashers enable your installation to control up to six identical TV’s. The intelligent routing of the MRF-200 will send your commands only to the TV you select on your MX-800. The other identical TV’s will not receive commands. Of course, if your system utilizes identical satellite receivers, cable boxes, VCR’s or disc changers you can utilize IR rout­ing just as easily for them. If you have more than six identical components, up to 16 additional MRF-200’s can be installed to control them (thus allowing up to 96 identical components in one house).
