For questions about your Custom

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 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!

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 sig­nals 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.

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

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.

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 com­mands. While busy, the
indicator flashes at the top of
the screen next to the screen
title.
