You've purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering, the Complete Control MX-450. The MX-450 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 dedicated LIGHT button enables the user to backlight the buttons at any time. User settings, accessible by pressing and holding the MAIN button for 3 seconds, enable you to adjust how long the MX-450 stays lit (5 to 60 seconds). [. . . ] Advanced Setup enables you to copy and paste groups of commands like Volume and Mute, setup macros, customize labels, add/hide pages, erase and setup RF Addressing. Favorite Channels: Do not attempt to setup Favorite Channels until you have completed Basic. Favorite channels are macros that enable you to tune to a channel with one touch. User Settings: Selecting this option lets you adjust how long the screen or the buttons stay lit. Display Tips: Select this option to turn on or off the built in Setup Tips. They appear on the screen in context. Page 3 MX-450 OWNERS MANUAL Programming Limitations Before beginning Basic Setup, plan the layout of the MAIN pages. Copy and Paste enables you to copy a group of commands from one device and paste them into another device (or all your devices). Typically this is used to paste the Volume and Mute commands for your sound system into all of your other devices so that no matter what device you are controlling, you can always adjust the volume. If macros are programmed, it is recommended that you copy and paste the OFF macro into the OFF buttons on every device. That way, whenever you press the OFF button, the entire system will turn off. Macro setup enables you to record a series of button pushes to any LCD button or to the ON or OFF hard buttons. Add/Hide Pages and Buttons lets you hide any button or page of buttons you don't need. Edit Labels provides you with the power to change any label to one that you find more to your liking. RF Setup enables you to address each device to a particular RF base station and even a particular IR output. You can set the MX-450 to output only IR for testing, or only RF for operation (highly recommended to avoid oversaturating IR sensors on devices). If you extend the time the buttons stay lit, you dramatically curtail battery life. There is some effect on battery life when you extend the LCD screen lighting, but it is not as dramatic. Display Tips enables an experienced programmer to turn off the Setup Tips. If no tips appear when you attempt setup, you can turn the Setup Tips on again. Setup tips are the programming manual for the MX-450. Page 4 MX-450 OWNERS MANUAL Selecting a New "Activity" The MX-450's MAIN button displays the activities you can control with your MX-450. When you want to watch something else (a DVD movie, a videotape or an HDTV broadcast), simply press the MAIN button and select the new activity. Your installer will have programmed the button you pressed to totally configure your system to watch or listen to whatever you selected.
