System Overview
Let’s get started. First, it helps to understand some basics about your
Control4 system.
1. Control4 is a room-based control system. The
interfaces are set to control one room at a time (unless you
choose to control several rooms as a group). So, while
most interfaces are already set to their installed room, it
doesn’thurttorememberthat ifnothinghappenswhenyou
try to turn off the lights or turn on the music, your interface
may be set to a different room in the house. (That’s when
you hear the yelling from another room.) All interfaces
2
show the currently selected room, so you can easily check
which room you are working with.
2. Control4 interfaces manage up to eight sub-systems
per room. Depending on your setup, the menu options
may differ from room to room, with unavailable options
dimmed in on-screen displays. For instance, if you’re in a
room with no music available, the music icon appears
darker than the Lights, House, and Info icons. Here’s a
breakdown on everything you can do with a Control4
system:
Radio—Browse available radio stations, including AM,
FM, XM, satellite, and cable stations.
Music—Browsedigitalmusic integratedintoyour Control4
system by artist, genre, playlist, or album cover art.
Additional music sources such as iPorts or CD
players are incorporated into the Music sub-menu if
they are present in your system.
TV—Browse available TV channels (UHF/VHF, cable, or
satellite).
Videos—Browse available videos in your DVD changer or
select a video source (DVD player, VCR, etc.) to
control.
Comfort—Adjust the temperature in your home and
control ceiling fans, blinds, fireplaces, and other
home settings. Also includes access to your Control4
wakeup scene to set an alarm clock for any room in
your home.
Lights—Controlthelightsinyourcurrentroomandaccess
all lighting scenes in your home.
House—Switch between rooms and access security-
related devices in your home.
Info—Display system information such as network status,
screensavers, and other options.

CHAPTER 2Interfaces Overview
A user interface is any Control4 device that you use to control your
installed systems, such as a remote or a touch screen. Below is a
breakdownof alloftheinterface devices youmayhaveinyourControl4
system:
Interface Devices
System Remote Controls
Control4 System Remote Controls are standard control devices for
most Control4 systems and work like a universal remote on steroids.
From one remote, you can control your home theater equipment, your
lights, your music, your room temperature, and any other installed sub-
system. You can also use it to browse sub-system menus on a
television or monitor screen (on-screen navigator) or in its display
window (LCD navigator).
4
On-Screen Navigator
The Control4 On-Screen
Navigator, accessed with the
Control4 System Remote,
uses a graphical sub-system
menu that you can see on a
connected TV or monitor.
Through the navigator, you
can access every aspect of
your Control4 system—from
music and movies to lighting
and temperature control.
Touch Screens
Control4 Touch Screens come in a variety of shapes and sizes and
most can be installed in the wall or sit on your desktop. Every Control4
Touch Screen can control your entire Control4 system.
