Getting Started
Congratulations!
You’ve purchased one of the most advanced and easy to setup control sys-
tems available. The Omega’s built-in library includes thousands of different
brands and models of remote controls. In most systems, all you have to do
to setup the Omega is enter which brands and models you own. If you
own a component too new to be in the library, the Omega uses advanced
learning technology to quickly set each Omega button, one at at time.
Setting up your Omega to replace all your existing remote controls can be
done in a few minutes. Basic Setup is described on pages 5 to 13.
The Omega’s exciting advanced features automate and customize opera-
tion in many ways. You could use Macro Setup to power on all of your
components and start the show with the press of one button! With the
Omega’s unique Favorite Channel capability, you can tune in a channel
with the press of one button instead of entering the entire channel number.
Any of the button names on the display can be edited as you like. It is best
to delay any Advanced Setup (described on pages 14 to 36) until after you
finish Basic Setup.
Battery Installation
Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing up the cover lock.
Insert four AAA batteries into the battery compartment as shown in the
diagram.

Selecting a New DEVICE Changes
All Button Commands Instantly
The Omega can operate twenty different devices even though it is only
one remote control. Let’s try it now! Press the MAIN button, then press
the TV DEVICE button.
The top of the screen changes from MAIN to TV. Now all of the buttons
change their function to operate a TV. Press the PAGE button. Watch the
labels of the display buttons change with each press. There are four
pages of display buttons already labeled for TV operation. To operate
another component (e.g., VCR, DVD etc.), press the MAIN button to
return to the MAIN menu. The MAIN menu displays ten of your Devices
on the screen. Simply press one of the screen-labeled Device buttons to
operate another device. If you don’t see the device name you want, then
use the PAGE buttons to display the remaining ten devices on page 2 of
the MAIN menu.
Light Button
Press the LIGHT button to backlight all the buttons. To turn off the back-
lighting, press the LIGHT button again, or just wait ten seconds (the back-
lighting automatically shuts itself off).

Basic Setup
You can start setting up your Omega using either the Pre-Programmed
Method or the Learning Method. However, all the buttons of the Omega
are setup at once with the Pre-Programmed Method, so it is usually faster
than the one-button-at-a-time Learning Method.
Pre-Programmed Method
Power on the A/V component you wish to setup, so that you can test
codes by sending power off commands.
Refer to the pre-programmed code tables on pages 37 - 52 and
write down the code numbers listed for your A/V component. The
code numbers are listed by categories of devices, then by brand.
See page 37 for a category list. Code tables with model numbers
are available at www.universalremote.com in the MX-650 area.
Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons for approxi-
mately three seconds. The top of the display will show “SETUP”.
You are in SETUP mode now.
Note: You have 30 seconds to perform a step while you are in SETUP mode. If
you don’t press a button within that time, the Omega will time out and return to
normal operation.

In this step you select which code table to use. Thus, you can pro-
gram a device named “TV” with codes from the CABLE code tables
and a device named” VIDEO” with codes from the TV code table.
If you don’t see the code table you need, press the PAGE buttons to
reveal the other page of code table categories, then select the code
table you want to use.
Note: Each name that appears in the display may include several types of
components. For example, the AUX category includes many types of cus-
tom installation devices. See page 37 for a list of component types each
Code Table contains.
Point the Omega at the component, then enter the first three digit
code number from your notes using the numbered buttons. After
you enter each three digit number, look at the component to see if
it turned off.
Continue to enter code numbers until the component turns off.
For Example: I have a Sony TV. I found the code numbers 070, 139,147,
126, 185, 194 and 085 under Sony in the TV TABLE. Using the numbered
buttons on the Omega, I entered 070 and looked at the TV. It didn’t turn
off, so I entered 139, then 147 and so on, until I found the code that pow-
ered off the TV.

Note: If a component fails to turn off after you have entered all of the code
numbers listed for your brand, your component might actually be manu-
factured by another brand. You can scan through the other brands in the
table using the UP and DOWN buttons to change the code number dis-
played, then tapping either the Power ON, OFF or any other button to see
if the component responds to any command. Alternatively, you can opt to
use the Learning Method on Page 9 if you can’t find a code set in the built-
in database.
When the component turns off, save the code number you entered
by pressing the SAVE button that appears on the screen.
Exit SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button two times. When
the display shows “MAIN”, you are back in normal operating
mode.
