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-3000 C OLOR T OUCH S CREEN

Congratulations

You’ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering, the

Complete Control MX-3000. The twin goals of the design team were to improve the elegance and usability of touch screens through the physical design while providing a new standard in brightness, clarity and animation for the touch screen itself.

Easy Operation

By assigning the important home theater operational buttons to the natural resting place of the end users thumbs, the MX-3000 achieves a new standard in use and comfort.

Automatic Backlighting

The integral motion sensor detects any movement of the touch screen and automatically backlights the screen. You do not have to press any button to display the screen. Any movement of the MX-3000 renews the backlighting. To adjust the backlighting, see page 5.

Connecting the Battery Pack

Unlock the rear cover by using a coin to move the locking screw to the

Unlock position.

Remove the cover. For shipment from the factory, the battery cable is left unplugged.

Plug the cable into the socket next to the battery. The connector is slotted to prevent plugging it in the wrong way, so don’t force it.

Replace the cover and lock it into place with a coin.

Using the Charging Base

Plug the 5V DC adapter into a power outlet and into the back of the charging base.

Gently place the MX-3000 into the cradle of the charging base.

Push down on the base of the

MX-3000 until you hear and feel a firm “click”.

The Status light should immediately light. Red indicates that it is

charging. Blue shows that it is fully charged. There is no harm in leaving the MX-3000 on its charging base whenever it is not in use.

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-3000 remote control in a timely and efficient manner.

No More Pointing!

The combination of the MX-3000 with it’s companion MRF-300 base station will enable you to place your audio/video components out of sight behind closed doors and/or in another room of your house. The MX-3000 sends radio signals to the MRF-300 throughout your house (50-100’ away, indoors or outdoors). The MRF-300 converts your commands to the infrared signals that control your A/V components.

1. The MX-3000 remote control sends radio waves in every direction, so you don’t have to point the remote anymore!

2. The RFX-150 RF Sensor can be freely positioned for optimal reception.

3. The MRF-300’s built-in Front Blaster sends commands to components in the same cabinet space as the MRF-300.

4. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to the

Infrared sensors on the front panels of your components. The Flashers relay commands to components out of sight of the MRF-300’s Front Blaster. The flashers plug in to the MRF-300’s rear flasher line outputs via their 10 foot cables.

Uniquely, the MRF-300 can also connect to rear panel IR Inputs via its adjustable

IR Line Outputs.

Displaying the Settings Screen

You can adjust the settings of the

MX-3000 whenever you like by pressing and holding the MAIN button for five seconds. When you do, the screen will change to the SETTINGS screen. If you do not press any button on the

SETTINGS screen within 30 seconds, the

MX-3000 will time out and automatically return to normal operation.

Adjusting Backlighting

If you uncheck the check boxes, the

MX-3000 will stay lit until the battery is exhausted. If you check the check boxes, you can select from the list of delays.

The amount of delay you select will be the how long the MX-3000 stays lit. You can save battery life this way.

Maintaining Your MX-3000

Be careful not to scratch the touch screen, only use your finger to tap the

LCD touch screen or use a plastic pen top or PDA stylus. Never use a real pen, pencil or any other sharp object on the screen. Keep it away from extreme cold or heat. The MX-3000 is not waterproof. Do not use it in any location that is damp or wet.

If you spill water on it, take out the battery pack and let the MX-3000 dry for

48 hours before you try powering it up again. If you spill coffee or another beverage on it, clean it with distilled water. Make sure no water gets inside the MX-3000. The touch screen contains a glass element. Don’t drop the MX-

3000 or impact it against anything.

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the screen. If the screen still shows finger prints, clean it with watered down window-cleaner. Do not use anything abrasive and don’t use too much water, some might leak into the interior.
