Turn On Your Entire System

Using the MAIN Menu

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 com- mands. While busy, the indicator flashes at the top of the screen next to the screen title.

The MAIN Menu enables you to either select a new Activity or simply select a new Device to control.

When you select a new activity, the remote control will issue a MACRO (a timed sequence of many commands from many different remote controls). This MACRO was custom pro- grammed for your system by your installer. It will issue all of the com- mands necessary to switch the sound and picture of your system.

When you select a device, the remote control becomes the remote control you select WITHOUT affecting the home theater.

MX-850 specifications

The Universal Remote Control MX-850 is a sophisticated and versatile control solution designed for home entertainment systems. This remote is particularly valued by enthusiasts and professionals alike due to its advanced features and customization capabilities, making it an ideal choice for managing complex home theater setups.

One of the standout characteristics of the MX-850 is its ergonomic design, which ensures comfort during prolonged use. The remote is equipped with a backlit keypad, allowing users to operate it easily in dimly lit environments. Its layout is intuitive, featuring dedicated buttons for commonly used functions, which enhances user experience by allowing quick access to essential controls.

The MX-850 is a programmable remote, meaning it can be customized to cater to individual preferences and specific needs. Users can easily configure the remote to control multiple devices, including televisions, audio receivers, DVD players, gaming consoles, and more. This flexibility is primarily due to its ability to learn commands from existing remotes, ensuring compatibility with virtually any consumer electronics device.

Technologically, the MX-850 utilizes RF (Radio Frequency) communication in conjunction with IR (Infrared) signals. This dual functionality allows the remote to operate devices that are hidden away within entertainment centers or cabinets, thus eliminating the need for line-of-sight operation that traditional remotes require. The remote is capable of controlling devices up to 100 feet away, enhancing convenience and accessibility.

For integration into a home automation system, the MX-850 can be used in conjunction with a base station, allowing for seamless communication with devices throughout the home. This connectivity enables users to execute complex macros, which are sequences of commands that can be triggered by a single button press. For instance, a "Movie Night" macro could dim the lights, turn on the television, and start the movie with just one action.

Another notable characteristic of the MX-850 is its robust battery life, powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which ensures that users spend less time replacing batteries and more time enjoying their entertainment systems.

Overall, the Universal Remote Control MX-850 stands out in the competitive landscape of universal remotes, thanks to its blend of user-friendly features, advanced technology, and customization options, making it an indispensable tool for achieving a fully integrated home entertainment experience.
