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 installation. 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-980 OWNERS MANUAL
Congratulations!
You’ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engi-
neering, the Complete Control MX-980. The MX-980 achieves a mag-
nificent combination of power and flexibility, simplifying and automat-
ing operation of even the most complex system.
Automatic Backlighting
The integral motion sensor detects any movement of the remote con-
trol and automatically backlights the screen. You do not have to
press any button to display the screen. Any movement of the MX-
980 renews the backlighting.
Integrated Sound Signaling
The MX-980 incorporates a small speaker for beeps. Anytime you
press a button, the MX-980 signals that it has understood your com-
mand with a beep sound.
Using the Color LCD and the Screen Buttons
The MX-980 is equipped with a
bright easy to read LCD screen
which your installer will customize
for your system. The screen labels
the eight hard buttons (easy to find
by feel) positioned on either side of
the screen. Normally, the screen is
“split” so each button is allocated
to a specific function (as shown on
the right). This provides you with
the ability to see and operate up to
8 functions on a single screen.
However, your installer can com-
bine two buttons to create a single
row that can be accessed by either
adjacent button. This simplifies
operation for the entire family and
enables convenient operation for
both left and right-handed users for
important functions you use fre-
quently.

MX-980 OWNERS MANUAL
Optional RF “No Rules” Operation
In combination with an MSC-400 Master System Controller, or an
RF Base Station, the MX-980 can control your system without being
in line-of-sight of the equipment.
The MSC-400 enhances the capabilities of the MX-980 by storing and
issuing Smart Macros to your main system components. It is triggered
by RF Smart Macro commands via RF (radio frequency). In addition,
your MX-980 can control components in secondary rooms and systems
via MRF-350 or MRF-260 RF base stations
3.The MSC-400 can control IR, RS232 and Relay controlled
devices.
2.The RFX-250 RF Sensor can be freely
positioned for optimal reception.
1.The MX-980 sends radio
waves in every direction, so
you don’t have to point the
remote anymore!
4. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to the
Infrared sensors on the front panels of
your components. Uniquely, all Complete
Control base stations can also connect to
components with rear panel IR Inputs via
adjustable IR Line Outputs.The MSC-400
offers RS-232 control via rear panel con-
nections as well.

Using the Charging Base
Plug the 5V DC adapter into a
power outlet and into the back of the
charging base.
Gently place the MX-980 into the
cradle of the charging base.
The Status light should immediately
light. Red indicates that it is charging.
Blue shows that it is fully charged.
There is no harm in leaving the MX-
980 on its charging base whenever it
is not in use. The Lithium Ion battery
cannot be overcharged.
Programming the MX-980
The MX-980 is programmed via a Windows PC equipped with a
USB port (programming cable included), using our proprietary soft-
ware, MX-980 Editor. You could download this software from our
website:
www.universalremote.com
However, although some enthusiasts have learned to use the setup
software, to fully automate an audio/video system the user must
have a detailed knowledge of how the system is connected and
operated. We highly recommend that you use a professional
audio/video installer to program your MX-980 so you will be able
to enjoy all the benefits of the MX-980 as well as one touch opera-
tion via macros.
