MX-780i OWNER’SMANUAL

Congratulations!

Thank you for purchasing the Complete Control MX-780i universal

remote control. This unit can directly control every IR device in

your home. You can also control devices located in different rooms

by integrating an MRF base station. Controlling your home is simple

with the MX-780i remote.

Brilliant OLED color display with hard button interface

When any button is pressed, the color OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode)

screen, as well as the remote buttons, light up. Once the screen is lit,

each of the three buttons on either side of the screen are labeled.

These button labels are based on the devices you want to watch or

listen to.

User interface customizable for any activity

Each button is customizable for activities such as watching TV or

listening to the radio. These activities can contain multiple commands

(macros) which enable a single button press to turn the needed

devices ON or OFF.

Ultra-reliable narrow band RF - compatible with URC

433.92 MHz RF Base Stations

The MX-780i can communicate directly to RF base stations, such as

the MRF-350i and the MRF-260i. It also natively communicates to

URC Lighting via 433.92 MHz RF. This gives the MX-780i the ability to

control your system without being in direct line-of-sight.

Fast setup of complex systems via Complete Control PC editor

To fully automate an audio/video system, and integrate two way

automation of servers etc., the programmer must have a detailed

knowledge of each component, LAN configuration, WiFi

optimization and how the system is connected and operated. Only

a trained and certified professional audio/video installer can install

an MX-780i remote control in a timely and efficient manner.

Replacing the Batteries

Unlock the battery cover by pushing up on the spring lock at the

bottom of the cover. Remove the cover. Observe the + and –

polarity indicators inside the battery compartment and the batteries.

Place the four AA batteries into their positions in the battery compartment.

Now, replace the battery cover and snap it into place.

You can adjust settings for the MX-780i whenever

you like by pressing and holding the MAIN + ENT

down to a minimum time of 5 seconds.

Pressing the More side increases the time in

steps up to a maximum of 60 seconds. Once

the setting has been adjusted, simply press the

Save button. Pressing the Cancel button reverts
