Congratulations! Congratulations on purchasing Universal Remote Control’s MASTERCONTROLTM RF10 Pre-programmed and Learning Remote Control! You now have the power to control your entire home entertainment system with one easy-to-use remote. The RF10 can be used with thousands of audio/video Components because of the extensive code library pre-programmed into the remote. And, the RF10’s impressive lineup of special advanced features can automate and customize the operation of your system in many ways. So...
Getting Started-Overview This is what MASTERCONTROL™ RF10 is all about! The RF10 is designed to operate up to 8 different Audio/Video Components and is pre-programmed to operate virtually all brands of TV, VCR, DVD and CD Players, Cable Set Top Boxes, Satellite Receivers, TiVo and other DVRs, Audio Components, Tape Decks, Multimedia PCs, XM Radio, Ipod, X-Box, Lighting Controls and other custom installation products.
6 Activating Component Commands – Simple, Easy, Intuitive Once you’ve programmed RF10 for your Components, all you have to do to operate a specific Component is press the desired COMPONENT button. For example, press the TV COMPONENT Button. The top of the screen changes to TV. Now all of the buttons on the RF10 will work your TV. To operate another Component, simply press one of the other eight COMPONENT buttons.
8 Basic Setup - Overview Pre-Programmed Code Method Pre-Programmed Code Method 7 There are three ways to program the RF10: > The Pre-Programmed Code Method > The Pre-Programmed Auto-Search Method > The Learning Method The Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to setup all the buttons at once, so it’s the fastest and easiest of the three methods. The Auto-Search Method scans through all the codes in the RF10, one at a time.
10 Pre-Programmed Code Method Pre-Programmed Code Method 9 Point the RF10 toward the Component you want to program, (in this example, TV), and punch in the 3-digit code that you wrote down for that specific Component. Use the Number buttons 0-9 on the remote to punch in the code. If the 3-digit code number that you just punched in is correct, the Component will turn off. If the Component does not turn off, continue entering code numbers from your list until the Component turns off.
12 Pre-Programmed Auto-Search Method The Auto-Search Method is a way you can scan through other codes in the table to find the right code for your component. STEP 1: STEP 3: Turn on the Component you want to program... let’s say your TV to start. Press the UP ARROW Cursor button once. Each time the UP ARROW button is pressed, the code will count up one code number and send a POWER OFF signal. When the correct code is sent out, the component will turn off.
14 Learning Method The RF10 can actually ‘learn’ commands from other remote controls (old or new), one-button-at-a-time, so it will never become obsolete. RF10 is the last remote you’ll ever need! Just follow these simple steps: STEP 1: STEP 3: STEP 4: Line-up the RF10 with the other remote control, head-to-head, one or two inches apart. Press any button on the RF10 that you want to teach a command to. Once you press a button, the top of the screen display will change from “LEARN” to “READY”.
15 16 Learning Method When a command is being transmitted, an icon will appear in the far right side of the LCD screen. This indicates that a signal is being sent.This is particularly useful when setting up Macros, since it flashes with every step of a sequence of commands. STEP 5: • Try tapping the button on your old remote instead of pressing and holding it during the learning process.
Customizing Your RF10 with Special Advanced Features After you’ve finished all your basic setup, you can choose to make operation easier by customizing the RF10 just the way you want, using the Special Advanced Setup Features described in this section. Customizing Component Names on the LCD Screen You can easily edit or change the name of any of the eight COMPONENT buttons on the LCD screen. For example, you can rename AUX to “LIGHTS” or SAT to “DISH”, etc.
20 MacroPower™ Setup MacroPowerTM Setup MacroPowerTM Setup 19 MacroPower™ is a unique feature that enables you to turn all of your Components ON or OFF, at the same time, simply with the press of one button. We call that a “Macro”. What would normally take multiple remotes and button pushes, the RF10 can accomplish with the press of one button. In addition to the Power ON or OFF buttons, any of the Component buttons can be set to be Macro buttons as well.
22 SimpleSoundTM Setup & Other ‘Punch Throughs’ SimpleSoundTM is a dynamic feature that gives you total volume control over all the Components in your system, even those without their own built-in volume control, such as TiVo, DVD and VCR... saving you the hassle and inconvenience of constantly needing to switch between Component modes on the remote.
24 AUX Function: Programming an 8th Component After you’ve finished customizing the RF10’s programming for seven primary components, and you did not use AUX, you can take advantage of the AUX function to program an 8th component, such as a second TV, VCR, or any other audio/video component that you may have in your system. STEP 1: STEP 3: Turn on the component you wish to setup (a second TV for example). Press the component button you want to setup (in this case TV).
26 Recalling Pre-Programmed Setup Code Numbers In case you didn’t write down the Pre-Programmed Code Numbers that you used to setup your RF10, you can easily recall them using this simple process: STEP 1: STEP 2: Press and hold both the COMPONENT you want to identify and the SEL (Select) buttons at the same time for approximately 3 seconds, until the word “SET” is displayed on the LCD screen. This signals that you are now in setup mode. Press the INFO button.
28 Erasing Commands – Overview Erasing Commands Erasing Commands - Overview 27 You can erase a single command, all learned commands in each component mode, SimpleSound™ commands or MacroPower™ commands. If you really want a fresh start, it is possible to reset the RF10 to its original factory default settings.
30 Erasing Commands Erasing Commands 29 STEP 1: STEP 2: Press and hold both the COMPONENT button where the command is stored and the ENT (Enter) button at the same time for approximately 3 seconds, until the word “LEARN” is displayed on the LCD screen. Press and hold both the COMPONENT button you want to erase and the PAUSE button until the display flashes ERASE eight times, followed by SAVED. Release the buttons and the RF10 will then automatically return to normal operating mode.
32 Erasing Commands Erasing Commands 31 Erasing Macro Commands STEP 1: STEP 1: Press and hold both the POWER ON and the STOP buttons for 10 seconds, until the display flashes ERASE ten times Press and hold one of the MACRO buttons (ON, OFF or one of the 8 COMPONENT buttons) and the MUTE button, until the word “MACRO” is displayed on the LCD screen.
Re-setting RF10 to Original Factory Default Settings 33 34 Re-setting RF10 to Original Factory Default Settings If you want to start with a clean slate, you can re-set the RF10 its original factory default settings by performing the following steps. NOTE: This process will essentially erase EVERYTHING you have programmed into the RF10. STEP 1: The RF10 will then display a self-testing routine for a few seconds, then automatically return to normal operating mode.
36 The Optional PowerBlaster™ (for ‘barrier-free’ RF control) [Sold separately] Of all the fabulous RF10 features, this is probably the most exciting. When used in combination with the optional PowerBlaster™, the RF10 becomes an amazing remote control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and floors – both indoors and outdoors. This changes everything! It enables you to control Components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100’ away.
38 Pre-Programmed Code Notes Pre-Programmed Code Tables Record the three digit codes for your system here: AUDIO DVD The RF10's Pre-Programmed code library is divided into categories (TV, VCR, AUX, etc.). Each category actually includes many types of Components. For example, the VCR category includes TV/VCR combo units. CD SAT TV VCR CABLE Within each category, the code numbers are listed in rows by brand (Sony, Panasonic, B & K, etc.). Some brands have more than one three digit code for you to try.
