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.

MX-810 OWNERS MANUAL

Congratulations!

You’ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering, the
Complete Control MX-810. The MX-810 achieves a magnificent combination
of power and flexibility, simplifying and automating operation of even the most
complex system.

User Configurable Screen and Button Lighting

A built in pick up sensor can be set to light the screen and/or the buttons
automatically. Additionally, a dedicated LIGHT button enables the user to
backlight the buttons if the pick up sensor is turned off.

Integrated Sound Signaling

The MX-810 incorporates a small speaker for beeps. Anytime you press a
button, the MX-810 signals that it has understood your command with a
beep sound.

Custom Labeled Buttons

When you pick up the MX-810, it automatically lights up the color LCD
screen which labels the six buttons to either side of the screeen. 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, while if you select Watch DVD, the buttons
will control the DVD.

LIGHT Button

Press the Light button on the
side of the MX-810 to back­light all of the buttons. Of
course, you could opt to set
the buttons to light automati­cally via the pick up sensor.

Programmable only by a URC Certified Professional

To fully automate your audio/video system, the programmer must have
detailed knowledge of each component as well as how the system is
connected and operated. Only a trained and certified professional
audio/video installer can install a MX-880 remote control in a timely
and efficient manner.

Optional RF “No Rules” Operation

In combination with a Complete Control RF Base Station, the MX-810 can
control your system without being in line-of-sight of the equipment.

Either the MRF-350 or the MRF-260 RF base station is compatible with the
MX-810. 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.

2.The RFX-250 RF Sensor can be freely
positioned for optimal reception.

Installing and Charging the Battery

Open the battery cover by pressing
on the release clip and removing
the cover.

Note that the three contacts on the
battery must connect to the three
spring-loaded contacts in the MX-

810. Angle the battery into the bat­tery compartment, contacts first,
then gently fit the rear of the battery
into the compartment as well.
Replace the battery cover by insert­ing the hinged end in first, then
snapping the cover back into place.

You can charge the Lithium Ion bat­tery by simply plugging the includ­ed charger into the base of the
remote as shown here.

The MX-810 can be used while
charging.

MX-810 OWNERS MANUAL

Using the MX-810 to Manually Control a “Device”

Press the MX-810’s DEVICES
button to display all the devices
you can control with your MX-

810.

Your MX-810 can control up to
24 devices. If you have more
than six devices, press either of
the page buttons to display the
other devices in your system.

When you find the device you
want to control, press the corre­sponding button beside the
screen.

For example, if you press the
Sony VCR button on the screen
shown here, the MX-810 will
become a Sony VCR remote
control.

The MX-810 now displays the device you select­ed at the top of the screen. Below the title, the
LCD displays the customized names of any
special features you need for the device.

All the hard buttons of the MX-810
have now changed their func­tions to operate your device.

Using the MX-810 to Automate an “Activity”

You select Activities in the same way that you select Devices. Simply press
the MX-810’s ACTIVITIES button to display all the Activities you can auto­mate with your MX-810.

However, when
you select an activi­ty, the MX-810 is
going to automati­cally reconfigure
your entire Audio
Video system.

For example, if you press Watch
DVD, a whole sequence of events
happens:

Status Message

While the MX-810 is reconfiguring your
AV system, a status message on the MX-810 lets you
know that it is busy. This reconfiguration of your sys­tem can take ten to twenty
seconds on some systems.

When the Status message disappears, all of the
MX-810’s buttons and screens are optimized for
the activity you selected.

The Volume and Mute buttons control the
sound you hear.

The rest of the buttons on the remote have new
functions, so that the functions you need most
frequently are immediately available.

1. The TV turns ON.

2. The Audio system turns ON.

3. The DVD player turns ON.

4. The TV changes to the DVD
input.

5. The AUDIO system changes to the
DVD input.

6. The DVD player begins to PLAY.
