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.

MX-450 OWNERS MANUAL

Congratulations!

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

the Complete Control MX-450. The MX-450 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 dedicated LIGHT button enables the user to backlight the buttons at any

time. User settings, accessible by pressing and holding the MAIN button

for 3 seconds, enable you to adjust how long the MX-450 stays lit (5 to 60

seconds).

Fast Professional Setup

The MX-450 sets up quickly via on-screen setup. Your installer simply

configures the remote for you using the MX-450 and his/her intimate

knowledge of how your system is configured and operated to completely

automate all operation and replace all of your A/V remote controls with

the MX-450.

Backlit Color LCD Screen Buttons

When you press any button, the color LCD screen lights up, which labels

the six buttons to either side of the screen. These button labels change

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

ed 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-450 to back-

light all of the buttons.

MX-450 OWNERS MANUAL

Optional RF “No Rules” Operation

In combination with a Complete Control RF Base Station, the MX-450 can

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

To preserve good operation always utilize a Universal Remote Control

brand RF Base Station with 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 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-450 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.

Replacing the Batteries

Open the battery cover by pressing the release and pulling back the cover

on the back of the control. Remove the cover.

Observe the + and - polarity indications inside the battery compartment.

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

observing the + and - polarity indicators on the batteries.

Now, replace the battery cover by inserting the hinged end in first, then

snapping the cover back into place.

Programming the MX-450

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-450 so you will be able to

enjoy all the benefits of the MX-450.

Programming Options

The MX-450 is programmed via on-screen setup menus. Simply press and

hold the MAIN button for 3 seconds to view the menus:

Basic Setup: Selecting this option enables you to replace all your

remotes by either searching the built in database or

learning commands one at a time from the original

remote for the device.

Advanced Setup: Do not attempt Advanced Setup until you have com-

pleted Basic. Advanced Setup enables you to copy and

paste groups of commands like Volume and Mute,

setup macros, customize labels, add/hide pages, erase

and setup RF Addressing.

Favorite Channels: Do not attempt to setup Favorite Channels until you

have completed Basic. Favorite channels are macros

that enable you to tune to a channel with one touch.

User Settings: Selecting this option lets you adjust how long the

screen or the buttons stay lit.

Display Tips: Select this option to turn on or off the built in Setup

Tips. Setup Tips are the programming manual for the

MX-450. They appear on the screen in context.

Programming Limitations

Before beginning Basic Setup, plan the layout of the MAIN pages. Create

each device in the position you want. You cannot change the position

later.

Copy and Paste enables you to copy a group of commands from one

device and paste them into another device (or all your devices). Typically

this is used to paste the Volume and Mute commands for your sound sys-

tem into all of your other devices so that no matter what device you are

controlling, you can always adjust the volume. If macros are programmed,

it is recommended that you copy and paste the OFF macro into the OFF

buttons on every device. That way, whenever you press the OFF button,

the entire system will turn off.

Macro setup enables you to record a series of button pushes to any LCD

button or to the ON or OFF hard buttons. None of the other buttons can

be programmed with macros.

Add/Hide Pages and Buttons lets you hide any button or page of buttons

you don’t need.

Edit Labels provides you with the power to change any label to one that

you find more to your liking.

Erasing lets you erase any Macro or Learned command. Commands from

the database cannot be erased, only hidden.

RF Setup enables you to address each device to a particular RF base sta-

tion and even a particular IR output. You can set the MX-450 to output

only IR for testing, or only RF for operation (highly recommended to avoid

oversaturating IR sensors on devices).

Favorite Channels let you setup macros to change channels only. They

cannot record any button pushes besides the number keys, the -/. button

or the ENT button. Do not attempt to record any other button.

User Settings control battery life. If you extend the time the buttons stay

lit, you dramatically curtail battery life. There is some effect on battery life

when you extend the LCD screen lighting, but it is not as dramatic.

Display Tips enables an experienced programmer to turn off the Setup

Tips. If no tips appear when you attempt setup, you can turn the Setup

Tips on again. Setup tips are the programming manual for the MX-450.

Selecting a New “Activity”

The MX-450’s MAIN button displays the activities you can control with

your MX-450. When you want to watch something else (a DVD movie, a

videotape or an HDTV broadcast), simply press the MAIN button and

select the new activity.

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 MAIN

button, you can see the most

frequently used activities for

your home theater.

PAGE DISPLAY

At the bottom of the LCD screen, the

page display informs you if there are

other pages of buttons available.

MX-450 OWNERS MANUAL

Using the MX-450 to Control an “Activity”

Once you’ve selected a new activity, the MX-450 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-450 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.
