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. [. . . ] This will greatly speed the process of programming. Page 4 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 MX810. 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. Page 5 MX-810 OWNERS MANUAL 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: 1. The DVD player begins to PLAY. 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. Status Message When the Status message disappears, all of the MX-810's buttons and screens are optimized for the activity you selected. The rest of the buttons on the remote have new functions, so that the functions you need most frequently are immediately available. Page 6 MX-810 OWNERS MANUAL Using the Help System for Automated Activities After selecting an activity, if any of the devices or components don't seem to be on or are set incorrectly, use the Help button. There may be several help screens to help you with your activity as shown here: Once the help screens appear, look at your system. If anything is off, use the buttons on the first screen to power them on, then press NEXT (the PAGE button). Exit help by pressing the HELP button again. Accessing the MX-810's Setup Menus The MX-810 has internal setup menus that enable you to change the settings that control your color screen, the button lighting, battery warnings and the clock. To access these settings, you must press and hold two buttons at the same time as shown here: At the same time, press and hold both the ACTIVITIES button and the ENTER button. Page 7 MX-810 OWNERS MANUAL Selecting from the Setup Menus There are two pages of settings on the Setup Menu. To select, simply press the corresponding button. Select the setting you'd like to adjust by pressing the button beside the screen. Use the Page button to see other pages. Exit the Setup Menus by pressing the Activities or Devices button, or simply waiting (the setup menus time out in 30 seconds). Setting the Color Screen Although usage of the color screen will affect how frequently you have to charge the battery, the screen does not drain the battery as quickly as the button lighting does. The Pick Up sensor senses motion, so it will keep the screen on (and drain your battery charge) as long as you are holding it in your hand. If you turn off the Pick Up sensor you will extend battery life (the screen will still light up when you press any button). Adjust how long the screen stays lit after you put it down or stop using it here. Setting Brightness Use the buttons next to DIM and BRIGHT to adjust the brightness. Pressing Cancel discards all changes. Use the DIM and BRIGHT buttons to adjust the lighting of the color screen. Press the SAVE button to save your setting. Page 8 MX-810 OWNERS MANUAL Setting the Screen Pick Up Sensor Use the buttons next to YES and NO. If you say YES, the color screen will light as long as you are moving the MX-810. If you say NO, the screen will light when you press any button. Use the YES and NO buttons to set the Pick Up sensor. Press the SAVE button to save your setting. Setting the Screen Auto Turn Off Use the buttons next to LESS and MORE to adjust the amount of time the screen will stay lit when you stop moving it (Pick Up Sensor ON) or when you stop pressing buttons (Pick Up Sensor OFF). Use the LESS and MORE buttons to set the Auto Turn Off timing. Press the SAVE button to save your setting. Setting the Button Lighting Note that button backlighting uses more battery charge than the screen. [. . . ] This Limited Warranty specifically excludes products sold by unauthorized resellers.
