MX-450 OWNERS MANUAL Programming Limitations Before beginning Basic Setup, plan the layout of the MAIN pages. Create each device in the position you want. You cannot change the position later. Copy and Paste enables you to copy a group of commands from one device and paste them into another device (or all your devices). Typically this is used to paste the Volume and Mute commands for your sound system into all of your other devices so that no matter what device you are controlling, you can always adjust the volume. If macros are programmed, it is recommended that you copy and paste the OFF macro into the OFF buttons on every device. That way, whenever you press the OFF button, the entire system will turn off. Macro setup enables you to record a series of button pushes to any LCD button or to the ON or OFF hard buttons. None of the other buttons can be programmed with macros. Add/Hide Pages and Buttons lets you hide any button or page of buttons you don't need. Edit Labels provides you with the power to change any label to one that you find more to your liking. Erasing lets you erase any Macro or Learned command. Commands from the database cannot be erased, only hidden. RF Setup enables you to address each device to a particular RF base station and even a particular IR output. You can set the MX-450 to output only IR for testing, or only RF for operation (highly recommended to avoid oversaturating IR sensors on devices). Favorite Channels let you setup macros to change channels only. They cannot record any button pushes besides the number keys, the -/. button or the ENT button. Do not attempt to record any other button. User Settings control battery life. If you extend the time the buttons stay lit, you dramatically curtail battery life. There is some effect on battery life when you extend the LCD screen lighting, but it is not as dramatic. Display Tips enables an experienced programmer to turn off the Setup Tips. If no tips appear when you attempt setup, you can turn the Setup Tips on again. Setup tips are the programming manual for the MX-450. Page 4
