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-230-8X8 product page at www.SnapAV.com to see and download the

available IR codes and drivers for IR remote programming.
