5 Introduction to the MX-880Z You ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering, the Complete Control MX-880Z. The MX-880Z achieves a magnificent combination of power and flexibility, simplifying and automating operation of even the most complex system. User Configurable Screen and Button Lighting A built in pick up sensor can be set to light the screen and/or the buttons automatically. Additionally, a dedicated LIGHT button enables the user to backlight the buttons if the pick up sensor is turned off. Integrated Sound Signaling The MX-880Z incorporates a small speaker for beeps. Anytime you press a button, the MX-880Z signals that it has understood your command with a beep sound. Custom Labeled Buttons When you pick up the MX-880Z, it automatically lights up the color LCD screen 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 selected 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-880Z to backlight all of the buttons. Of course, you could opt to set the buttons to light automatically via the pick up sensor. Page 1

6 Optional RF No Rules Operation In combination with a Complete Control RF Base Station, the MX-880Z can control your system without being in line-of-sight of the equipment, by utilizing the MRZ-260 Universal Remote Control RF base station. 1. The MX-880Z sends radio waves in every direction, so you don t have to point the remote anymore! 2. The MRZ-260 built-in Front Blaster sends commands to components in the same cabinet space or you can use flashers. 3. 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 MRZ-260 Front Blaster. The flashers plug in to the MRZ-260 rear flasher line outputs via their 10 foot cables. Uniquely, the MRZ-260 can also connect to components with rear panel IR Inputs via its adjustable IR Line Outputs. Page 2

7 Installing and Charging the Battery Open the battery cover by pressing on the release clip and removing the cover. Note that the three contacts on the battery must connect to the three spring-loaded contacts in the MX- 880Z. Angle the battery into the battery compartment, contacts first, then gently fit the rear of the battery into the compartment as well. Replace the battery cover by inserting the hinged end in first, then snapping the cover back into place. You can charge the Lithium Ion battery by simply plugging the included charger into the base of the remote as shown here. The MX-880Z can be used while charging. Page 3

8 Programming the MX-880Z The MX-880Z is programmed via a Windows PC equipped with a USB port (programming cable included), using our proprietary software, MX- 880Z Editor. 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-880Z so you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of the MX-880Z. Selecting a New Activity The MX-880Z s WATCH and LISTEN buttons display the activities you can control with your MX-880Z. 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 configure 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! When you press the LISTEN button, you can see the most frequently used activities you have for listening in your system. When you press the WATCH button, you can see the most frequently used activities you have for watching the sources 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. Press either of the PAGE buttons to see any other available choices. Page 4

9 Using the MX-880Z to Control an Activity Once you ve selected a new activity, the MX-880Z displays the title of the activity at the top of the screen. Below the title, the LCD displays the customized names of any special features you need for the activity. All the hard buttons of the MX-880Z have now changed to functions optimized for this activity. The Title displays what activity you can control. The LCD button labels describe special features for this activity. Press either of the PAGE buttons to see any other available choices. The Volume and Mute buttons always control the sound regardless of what screen is displayed. The Channel and Previous Channel buttons will change channels when you have selected an activity like Watch CABLETV or Watch SAT TV. The transport buttons (Play, Stop, Skip-, Skip+, FF, REW and Pause) operate when the selected 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 Number keypad will enter numbers for the activity you ve selected. Thus, for watching Cable TV, you use the number keypad to enter channel numbers, while when listening to CD, the number keypad enters track numbers. Page 5

10 Accessing the MX-880Z s Setup Menus The MX-880Z has internal setup menus that enable you to change the settings that control your color screen, the button lighting, battery warnings and the clock. To access these settings, you must press and hold two buttons at the same time as shown here: Simultaneously, press and hold both the WATCH and the ENTER buttons. When the SETUP screen appears, release the two buttons. Page 6

11 Selecting from the Setup Menus There are two pages of settings on the Setup Menu. Use the page buttons to view them. To select, simply press the corresponding button. Select the setting you d like to adjust by pressing the button beside the screen. Use the Page button to see other pages. Exit the Setup Menus by pressing the WATCH or LIS- TEN button, or simply waiting (the setup menus time out in 30 seconds). Setting the Color Screen Although usage of the color screen will affect how frequently you have to charge the battery, the screen does not drain the battery as quickly as the button lighting does. Adjust the brightness of the screen to taste. In most lighting conditions, 50% gives good results. The Pick Up sensor senses motion, so it will keep the screen on (and drain your battery charge) as long as you are holding it in your hand. If you turn off the Pick Up sensor you will extend battery life (the screen will still light up when you press any button). Adjust how long the screen stays lit after you put it down or stop using it here. Setting Brightness Use the buttons next to DIM and BRIGHT to adjust the brightness. You ll see the screen dim and brighten. When you have the right setting, press SAVE. Pressing Cancel discards all changes. Use the DIM and BRIGHT buttons to adjust the lighting of the color screen.

17 Introduction to the MRZ-260 The MRZ-260 base station is an addressable base station. MAC addressing gives you the ability to use an unlimited amount of MRZ-260 s and allows the control of many identical components as needed throughout the house. The MRZ-260 is only compatible with 2.4 GHz remote controls (Z remotes) such as the MX-880Z. 1. The MX-880Z sends radio waves in every direction, so you don t have to point the remote anymore! 2. The MRZ-260 built-in Front Blaster sends commands to components in the same cabinet space or you can use flashers. 3. 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 MRZ-260 Front Blaster. The flashers plug in to the MRZ-260 rear flasher line outputs via their 10 foot cables. Uniquely, the MRZ-260 can also connect to components with rear panel IR Inputs via its adjustable IR Line Outputs. Page 13

18 Features and Benefits MX-880Z AND MRZ-260 OWNERS MANUAL Interference Rejection and Extended Range via Spread Spectrum The MRZ-260 receives RF (radio frequency) signals via it s integrated RF receiver and antenna. A compatible RF remote such as the MX-880Z can be used with the MRZ-260 base station. Two Fixed IR Outputs one with RFTX URC Lighting Control The MRZ-260 is equipped with two fixed IR line outputs with standard 3.5 mm jacks for standard and sleeved IR emitter/flashers. One Fixed IR Output has a dual role for URC Lighting Control via the RFTX transmitter Two Variable IR Outputs Match Rear Panel IR Inputs The MRZ-260 is equipped with two adjustable IR line outputs. Each output can be individually matched to rear panel IR inputs on any component that is designed to be operated by a standard IR repeater. The outputs utilize a 3.5mm jack and are compatible with standard IR emitter/flashers as well. No Limit Equipment Locations With Identical Components Each MX-880Z remote is addressable. They can be programmed to specifically control components in a particular room by installing an MRZ-260 base station at each location. In operation it s simple: when you select a device located in the Den, the MX-880Z remote only sends commands to the Den. When you select a device located in the Family Room, the MX- 880Z remote only sends commands to it. A Single MRZ-260 Can Control an Array of Identical Components or Individual Zones of a Multi Zone Preamp/Matrix Switcher Each MRZ-260 has four addressable IR Line Outputs. For example, you can control up to four identical TV s with one MRZ-260 or route volume commands for a specific zone to a particular zone IR input on a multi-zone preamp. If you have more than four identical components or zones, there is no limit on how many MRZ-260s can be installed to control them (thus allowing an unlimited amount of identical components or individual zones in one house). Parts Guide The MRZ-260 RF Base Station includes: 1 - MRZ-260 Base Station 1 - Mounting Plate for wall mounting the MRZ Screws for wall mounting 1-9V-300mA Power Supply 12 - Labels for IR Line Outputs 4 - Visible Flashers with 10 foot plug in cables including 1 pink sleeved emitter for the RFTX-1 port 4 - Extra self adhesive pads for Emitters 1 - Screwdriver for Variable Outputs Page 14

19 Installation and MAC Address Discovery 1. Unplug the MRZ-260. Test all IR commands and macros line of sight. 2. Power on all AV components including the TV. Turn on all of the lights and lower all dimmers to 50%. Power on anything that may create Interference (particularly devices with high speed microprocessors or hard drives). 3. Once all commands and macros work in direct line of sight, connect the MRZ-260 to its DC wall adapter and plug the wall adapter into a live AC outlet. 4. Open CCP editor to discover the MRZ-260 RF base station. 5. Select Program then Configure Home. 6. Add a MRZ-260 base station and the properties window opens. 7. Plug the MX-880Z remote via USB to the PC. 8. Click on the Discover button to automatically discover the MAC address of the MRZ-260 base or type in the 8 characters found on the MAC ID sticker located in the rear. Note: If you receive a Not Connected message simply unplug then replug the USB cable and try again. 9. Once the MRZ-260 is found, highlight the matching MAC address and select Apply. 10. Now the MAC address will populate the ACCESS ID field. 11. Press OK to close the window and now the MRZ-260 has been discovered. Page 15

20 12. Place the MRZ-260 in a location at least 3 feet away from satellite receivers, cable boxes, HDTV tuners, DVRs, PCs or any other device with a high speed microprocessor (these generate broad band Radio Frequency Interference -RFI). Of course, you should keep in mind that the emitter cables are 10 long. The red POWER LED indicates that the MRZ-260 is powered on. The red STATUS LED flashes when a command is pressed from the remote. 13. Observe the Status LED of the MRZ Once you have found a location, test to see if the range is adequate and that macro reliability is perfect. Start with the antenna angle set to 45 degrees and positioned so that the long side of the antenna is facing the customer s favorite seating position Now that the location is fixed, connect each of the emitters to the appropriate IR output and run the cable to the appropriate component. Do not attach the emitters to the front panel yet! Utilize the included preprinted labels to identify which emitter goes to which component. If you d like to make your own, the slots for the labels have been sized at 12mm to enable a Brother P-Touch 12mm label to fit perfectly. NOTE: TiVo, Replay TV, other DVRs, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation. For this reason, it is recommended that you always connect the IR flashers for these types of component to the Variable IR Outputs of the MRZ-260. Page 16

21 Testing Test a few commands for each device before fixing the flasher in place on the front panel of a device. Since TiVo, Replay TV, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation, you should test them thoroughly. Put up the on screen guide and test the navigation arrows. Compare operation via RF to the original remote control. Operation should be identical. Zigbee is not slower. If operation is inconsistent or sluggish, lower the IR line output and/or reposition the flasher. If you still have sluggish operation, check that the remote control is set to a particular LINE OUT, rather than ALL. When IR commands are sent to all the flashers in a cabinet, you can have difficulty adjusting the IR Output. Reprogram the remote control to send IR commands only via a specific (1-4) Line Output, then readjust the IR Line Output level. 1. Connect an IR emitter to each IR output and run the emitter wire to the front panel of each component. DO NOT STICK the emitter in place. ADJUST the level first. 2. Adjust each of the IR Output levels for best operation. If the component operates best at minimum level, but is still operating sluggishly or intermittently, move the emitter farther away from the components IR sensor. Page 17

22 Integrating RFTX-1 to control URC Lighting Not only will you have greater control of your home theatre equipment with Zigbee, now you also have control of your URC Lighting. What better way to watch a movie and control your universe! 1. Simply plug the included RFTX-1 10 pink connecting cable into the MRZ-260 pink fixed port #4. 2. Set the URC Lighing Device in the CCP Editor to RF and set the IR output to Port #4. 3. Download to the MX-880Z remote and begin controlling your lights. Page 18

23 Front Blaster Overload A few models of audio/video components can be overloaded by the Front Blaster. If you are having intermittent or inconsistent results with a particular component, try repositioning the MRZ-260 and facing the Front Blaster in a different direction. If this improves the situation but is impractical, it may be necessary to utilize the self-adhesive flashers only and follow the steps below to Disable the Front Blaster. This will limit the number of components your MRZ-260 can control to four. If you have more than four components you can purchase an additional MRZ-260. Enabling/Disabling the Front Blaster - Step by Step via PC Open the PC software, then plug the MX-880Z PC programmable remote control into the PC. Open your saved configuration and follow these steps to turn off the front blaster: 1. Open the RF Control Window The RF Control window opens after selecting RF Control. 2. Turn on/off the Front Blaster Click on the cell in the IR LED OUTPUT/IR BLASTER column. A list box will appear. Select a PORT for your device or choose Blaster 1 to enable the front blaster. 3. Next, click on Save to apply your change. Page 19

24 Controlling Four Identical Components/Zones There are several considerations to take into account when you are installing an MRZ-260 to control an array of identical components: 1. Each identical component must receive IR commands ONLY from a dedicated Flasher affixed to its front panel or a rear panel direct IR input. The SIGNAL of the remote should be set to RF ONLY for each identical component. IR can still be utilized for other devices in your system! 2. You must note the NUMBER of the Flasher Output you have utilized for EACH of the identical components. Identical Components/Zones - Step by Step via PC 1. Create and Program a Device for Each Component/Zone Try to name each device with a descriptive title. At a minimum, label them TV1, TV2, TV3 and so on. 2. Open the RF Setup Window The RF Setup window opens after selecting RF Control from the Program Menu. The RF Setup window is composed of a spread sheet of options for EACH of your devices. Page 20

25 By looking at the Signal column, you can see that the factory default programming sets all of the devices to send IR commands. If you look at the column for IR output, you can see that the default sends IR commands for all devices to ALL of the IR outputs. Both options must be changed for identical components. 3. Adjust the Signal For Each of the Identical Devices The RF Setup window enables you to adjust the Signal output for each device individually, by clicking on the intersection of a row and a column and then selecting RF from the three options shown in the pull down list box. Select RF from the three options shown for EACH of the identical TVs. You may leave the other components of the system set to IR & RF. 4. Adjust the Flashers For Each of the Identical Devices The RF Setup window enables you to adjust which Flashers output by the remote control for each device individually, by clicking on the intersection of a row and a column and then selecting 1-4 from the seven options shown in the pull down list box. Select the correct Flasher (refer to your connection notes) for EACH of the identical TVs. You may leave the other components of the system set to ALL. See figure on the next page. Page 21

26 In the figure below, each device is set to a specific flasher. 5. Close the RF window and Download to the Remote. Programming For Multiple Equipment Locations You can operate an unlimited amount of different equipment locations within range of your MX-880Z remote, each with an MRZ-260 assigned with a unique MAC Address. You program each of your remotes to talk to the equipment locations you want by assigning each of your devices to a receiver. First, you must add and name your receivers for the locations they are placed in: 1. Open CCP Editor This editor will allow you to program multiple base stations. 2. Click on Program and Configure Home 3. Add as many MRZ-260 base stations as needed Follow steps 4-11 on page 3 Installation and Discovery to automatically discovery multiple base stations for an unlimited amount of equipment locations. 4. Save and Download to your remote. Page 22

27 Frequently Asked Questions Can I use flasher/emitters that I have already installed in the system to connect to the MRZ-260? Yes, the flashers are compatible if they use 3.5mm mono mini plugs with the same polarity (Tip is data, sleeve is ground). It is important to notate the RFTX-1 shared port utilizes a sleeved emitter for long term use. I m getting inconsistent operation regardless of flasher level or position. Some components are easily overloaded with IR from nearby flashers. Prevent IR from affecting the problem component from other flashers or the front panel blaster by setting the device to a specific IR Line Output instead of ALL, then adjust the Line Output. I am unable to control my URC Lighting Dimmer/Switch with the MRZ Now what? Make sure the RF switch on the RFTX-1 is set to the correct frequency for the URC Dimmer or Switch. URC Lighting Models MRFA is 418MHz and MRFB is 433MHz.
