Congratulations! You’ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering, the Complete Control Genesis. The Genesis achieves a magnificent combina- tion of power and flexibility, simplifying and automating operation of even the most complex system. One Touch Blue Backlighting Simply press the LIGHT button to backlight the screen.
Optional RF “No Rules” Operation In combination with a Complete Control RF Base Station, the Genesis can control your system without being in line-of-sight of the equipment. Either the MRF-300 or the MRF-250 RF base station is compatible with the Genesis.
ENESIS WNERS ANUAL Installing 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 AAA batteries into their positions in the battery com- partment observing the + and - polarity indicators on the batteries.
ENESIS WNERS ANUAL Programming the Genesis The Genesis is programmed via a Windows PC equipped with a USB port (programming cable included), using our proprietary software, MX-900 Editor. You can download this software from our website: www.universalremote.com Basic setup takes only a few minutes with this software. However, to fully automate an audio/video system the user must have a detailed knowledge of each component, you the user (and your preferences) and how the sys- tem is connected and operated.
ENESIS WNERS ANUAL Selecting a New “Activity” The Genesis’s WATCH and LISTEN buttons display the activities you can control with your Genesis. 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.
Using the Genesis to Control an “Activity” Once you’ve selected a new activity, the Genesis 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 Genesis have now changed to functions optimized for this activity.
Displaying the Setup Screen You can adjust the settings of the Genesis whenever you like by pressing and holding both the WATCH and the ENTER button at the same time for three seconds. When you do, the screen will change to the SETUP screen. If you do not press any button on the SETUP screen within 30 seconds, the Genesis will time out and automatically return to normal operation.
Setting the LCD With these settings, you can set the Genesis to constantly display the LCD when not in use, or show a blank screen when not in use. Additionally, you can control the contrast of the screen and the color of the backlighting. LCD ON CONT BRIGHT...
