Complete Control Program MSC-400
Programming the MSC-400 requires that you have Complete Control Program MSC-400 Editor and the editor
for the remote control (MX-6000, MX-3000, MX-980, MX-950, MX-900, MX-880, MX810 or TX-1000 Editor).
You can download standalone versions of these editors from the URC Control Room,
www.urccontrolroom.com. Entry to the site requires a Registration Code (call your Distributor or Sales
Representative to get one).
Prior Programming Knowledge Required
Programming the MSC-400 requires experience programming any of the MSC-400 compatible remotes, mod-
els: MX-6000, MX-3000, MX-980, MX-950, MX-900, MX-880, MX-810 and TX-1000. For better understand-
ing of the MSC-400 and compatible remotes, login to URC Control Room at www.urccontrolroom.com and
sign up for the various tutorials under the Training & Education Tab. These tutorials will provide excellent and
in-depth training for the knowledge needed to successfully program the MSC-400.
Program Remote Control Devices First!
Before starting a MSC-400 Project, be sure all that you have completed programming Devices in the remote
editor. It is much faster to import remote control devices than to create them from scratch in MSC-400 editor.
Use the Program Menu
The Program Menu is your lifeline to a fast, easy programming experience. Follow the steps in the order shown
in the Menu for best results. Download and Test has been added to the Program toolbar. Typically, you will
download to the remote control several times throughout the programming process to test what you have done
so far . You’ll also need to download once you’ve completed all your final programming.
It is important to complete all of the tasks for each program step, before moving on to the next step, rather
than jumping back and forth and all over the place.
