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!

GENESIS OWNERS MANUAL

Congratulations!

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

the Complete Control Genesis. The Genesis achieves a magnificent combina-

tion of power and flexibility, simplifying and automating operation of even the

most complex system.

One Touch Blue Backlighting

Simply press the LIGHT button to backlight the screen.

Integrated Sound Signaling

The Genesis incorporates a small speaker for beeps. Anytime you press a

button, the Genesis signals that it has understood your command with a

beep sound.

Custom Labeled Buttons

The Genesis is equipped with a bright easy to read LCD screen which

labels the six buttons to the right of the screeen. These button labels

change based on what you are watching or listening to. Thus, if you have

selected Watching TV, you will see a list of buttons that are useful to that

activity, while if you select DVD, the buttons will control the DVD.

LIGHT Button

Press the Light button on the

side of the Genesis to back-

light the LCD display and all

of the buttons.

GENESIS OWNERS MANUAL

Optional RF “No Rules” Operation

In combination with a Complete Control RF Base Station, the Genesis can

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

Either the MRF-300 or the MRF-250 RF base station is compatible with the

Genesis. Both incorporate RF addressing. RF Addressing gives you the ability to

control equipment 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

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.

3.The MRF-300’s built-in Front Blaster sends commands to

components in the same cabinet space as the MRF-300.

1.The Genesis sends radio waves

in every direction, so you don’t

have to point the remote any-

more!

2.The RFX-150 RF Sensor can be freely

positioned for optimal reception.

GENESIS OWNERS MANUAL

Programming the Genesis

The Genesis is programmed via a Windows PC equipped with a USB port

(programming cable included), using our proprietary software, MX-900

Editor. You can download this software from our website:

www.universalremote.com

Basic setup takes only a few minutes with this software. However, to fully

automate an audio/video system the user must have a detailed knowledge

of each component, you the user (and your preferences) and how the sys-

tem is connected and operated. We highly recommend that you use a

professional audio/video installer to program your Genesis so you will be

able to enjoy all the benefits of the Genesis as well as one touch opera-

tion via macros.

GENESIS OWNERS MANUAL

Selecting a New “Activity”

The Genesis’s WATCH and LISTEN buttons display the activities you can

control with your Genesis. 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.

GENESIS OWNERS MANUAL

Using the Genesis to Control an “Activity”

Once you’ve selected a new activity, the Genesis 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 Genesis 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.

Displaying the Setup Screen

You can adjust the settings of the Genesis whenever you

like by pressing and holding both the WATCH and the

ENTER button at the same time for three seconds. When

you do, the screen will change to the SETUP screen. If

you do not press any button on the SETUP screen within

30 seconds, the Genesis will time out and automatically

return to normal operation. You can return to normal

operation before that by pressing either the WATCH or

the LISTEN button.

Selecting from the Setup Screen

Simply touch the button for the setting you’d like to adjust:

At the same time, press and

hold both the WATCH but-

ton and the ENTER button.

When the SETUP screen

appears, you can release the

two buttons.
