For questions about your Custom Programming call:

Custom Programming of a complex home theater and/or a multi-room

system is one of the most challenging tasks within an audio/video instal-

lation. 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.

Congratulations on your choice!

MX-880 OWNERS MANUAL

Congratulations!

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

the Complete Control MX-880. The MX-880 achieves a magnificent combina-

tion 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.

Integrated Sound Signaling

The MX-880 incorporates a small speaker for beeps. Anytime you press a

button, the MX-880 signals that it has understood your command with a

beep sound.

Custom Labeled Buttons

When you pick up the MX-880, it automatically lights up the color LCD

screen which labels the six buttons to either side of the screeen. These

button labels change based on what you are watching or listening to.

Thus, if you have selected Watch TV, you will see a list of buttons that

are useful to that activity, while if you select Watch DVD, the buttons

will control the DVD.

LIGHT Button

Press the Light button on the

side of the MX-880 to back-

light all of the buttons. Of

course, you could opt to set

the buttons to light automati-

cally via the pick up sensor.

MX-880 OWNERS MANUAL

Optional RF “No Rules” Operation

In combination with a Complete Control RF Base Station, the MX-880 can

control your system without being in line-of-sight of the equipment.

To preserve good operation always utilize a Narrow Band RF Base Station

with RF Addressing. RF Addressing gives you the ability to control equip-

ment locations throughout your home, even if they are concealed in other

rooms or are behind closed doors.

4. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to the Infrared

sensors on the front panels of your compo-

nents. The Flashers relay commands to com-

ponents out of sight of the MRF-350’s Front

Blaster. The flashers plug in to the MRF-350’s

rear flasher line outputs via their 10 foot

cables. Uniquely, the MRF-350 can also con-

nect to components with rear panel IR Inputs

via its adjustable IR Line Outputs.

3. The MRF-350’s built-in Front Blaster sends commands to

components in the same cabinet space as the MRF-350.

1. The MX-880 sends radio

waves in every direction, so you

don’t have to point the remote

anymore!

2. The RFX-250 RF Sensor can be freely

positioned for optimal reception.

Installing and Charging the Battery

Open the battery cover by pressing

on the release clip and removing

the cover.

Note that the three contacts on the

battery must connect to the three

spring-loaded contacts in the MX-

880. Angle the battery into the bat-

tery compartment, contacts first,

then gently fit the rear of the battery

into the compartment as well.

Replace the battery cover by insert-

ing the hinged end in first, then

snapping the cover back into place.

You can charge the Lithium Ion bat-

tery by simply plugging the includ-

ed charger into the base of the

remote as shown here.

The MX-880 can be used while

charging.

MX-880 OWNERS MANUAL

Programming the MX-880

The MX-880 is programmed via a Windows PC equipped with a USB port

(programming cable included), using our proprietary software, MX-880

Editor.

To fully automate an audio/video system the programmer must have a

detailed knowledge of each component and how the system is connected

and operated. We highly recommend that you use a professional

audio/video installer to program your MX-880 so you will be able to

enjoy all the benefits of the MX-880.

MX-880 OWNERS MANUAL

Selecting a New “Activity”

The MX-880’s WATCH and LISTEN buttons display the activities you can

control with your MX-880. When you want to watch something else (a

DVD movie, a videotape or an HDTV broadcast), simply press the

WATCH button and select the new activity. When you want to listen to

the radio or to a CD, touch the LISTEN button and select what you would

like to listen to.

Your installer will have programmed the button you pressed to totally con-

figure your system to watch or listen to whatever you selected. Now, the

screen will change, and all of the LCD buttons will be reconfigured to

give you full control of your system while watching or listening to your

selection!

Press either of the PAGE buttons to see any other available choices.

When you press the LISTEN button,

you can see the most frequently used

activities you have for listening in

your system.

PAGE DISPLAY

At the bottom of the LCD screen, the

page display informs you if there are

other pages of buttons available.

When you press the WATCH button,

you can see the most frequently used

activities you have for watching the

sources in your system.

MX-880 OWNERS MANUAL

Using the MX-880 to Control an “Activity”

Once you’ve selected a new activity, the MX-880 displays the title of the

activity at the top of the screen. Below the title, the LCD displays the cus-

tomized names of any special features you need for the activity. All the

hard buttons of the MX-880 have now changed to functions optimized for

this activity.

The Title displays

what activity you

can control.

The Volume and

Mute buttons always

control the sound

regardless of what

screen is displayed.

Press either of the

PAGE buttons to

see any other avail-

able choices.

The transport buttons

(Play, Stop, Skip-, Skip+,

FF, REW and Pause)

operate when the select-

ed activity requires them

(for example, if you

watch CABLETV with a

TiVo type of DVR, these

buttons will control the

built-in DVR, while if

you are watching a

DVD, these buttons will

control the DVD player).

The 4 way cursor

buttons enable you

to navigate on

screen guides and

menus with ease.

The Channel and

Previous Channel

buttons will change

channels when you

have selected an

activity like Watch

CABLETV or

Watch SAT TV .

The Number keypad

will enter numbers

for the activity you’ve

selected. Thus, for

watching Cable TV,

you use the number

keypad to enter chan-

nel numbers, while

when listening to CD,

the number keypad

enters track numbers.

The LCD button

labels describe

special features

for this activity.

Accessing the MX-880’s Setup Menus

The MX-880 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 WATCH

button and the ENTER but-

ton. When the SETUP screen

appears, you can release the

two buttons.
