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 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 customize a remote control for true automated
operation.

Congratulations on your choice!

MX-900 OWNER’S MANUAL

Congratulations!

You’ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering,
the Complete Control MX-900. The MX-900 achieves a magnificent
combination of power and flexibility, simplifying and automating operation of
even the most complex system.

One Touch Blue Backlighting

Simply press the LIGHT button to backlight the screen.

Integrated Sound Signaling

The MX-900 incorporates a small speaker for beeps. Anytime you press a
button, the MX-900 signals that it has understood your command with a
beep sound.

Custom Labeled Buttons

The MX-900 is equipped with a bright easy to read LCD screen which labels
the six buttons to the right of the screeen. These button labels change based on
what you are watching or listening to. Thus, if you have selected Watching TV,
you will see a list of buttons that are useful to that activity, while if you select
DVD, the buttons will control the DVD.

LIGHT Button

Press the Light button on the
side of the MX-900 to backlight
the LCD display and all of the
buttons.

Programmable only by a URC Certified Professional

To fully automate your audio/video system, the programmer must have
detailed knowledge of each component and how the system is connected
and operated. Only a trained and certified professional audio/video
installer can install a MX-900 remote control in a timely and efficient
manner.

Optional RF “No Rules” Operation

In combination with a Complete Control RF Base Station, the MX-900 can
control your system without being in line-of-sight of the equipment.

1.

Either the MRF-300 or the MRF-250 RF base station is compatible with the
MX-900. Both incorporate RF addressing. RF Addressing gives you the
ability to control equipment locations throughout your home, even if they
are concealed in other rooms or are behind closed doors.

The MX-900 sends radio waves

in every direction, so you
don’t have to point the
remote any-more!

The RFX-150 RF Sensor can be freely

positioned for optimal reception.

The MRF-300’s built-in Front Blaster sends commands to

components in the same cabinet space as the MRF-300.

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- 300’s Front Blaster. The flashers
plug in to the MRF-300’s rear flasher line
outputs via their 10 foot cables.
Uniquely, the MRF-300 can also connect
to rear panel IR Inputs via its adjustable
IR Line Outputs.

Installing Batteries

Open the battery cover by pressing
the release and pulling back the
cover on the back of the control.
Remove the cover.

Observe the + and - polarity
indications inside the battery
compartment.

Place the four AAA batteries into
their positions in the battery com­partment observing the + and ­polarity indicators on the batteries.

Now, replace the battery cover by
inserting the hinged end in first,
then snapping the cover back into
place.
