Note: To use Matrix Control from Room, it is recommended to program a universal remote control with discrete

commands for matrix control to keep in each zone, rather than using the included IR remote or commands learned from

it. Go to the Support Tab of the B-500-MTRX-230 product page at www.SnapAV.com to see and download the available

IR codes and drivers for IR remote programming.
