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.
