MX-880Z OWNERS MANUAL  
Congratulations!  
You’ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering,  
the Complete Control MX-880Z. The MX-880Z achieves a magnificent com-  
bination of power and flexibility, simplifying and automating operation of  
even the most complex system.  
User Configurable Screen and Button Lighting  
A built in pick up sensor can be set to light the screen and/or the buttons  
automatically. Additionally, a dedicated LIGHT button enables the user to  
backlight the buttons if the pick up sensor is turned off.  
Integrated Sound Signaling  
The MX-880Z incorporates a small speaker for beeps. Anytime you press a  
button, the MX-880Z signals that it has understood your command with a  
beep sound.  
Custom Labeled Buttons  
When you pick up the MX-880Z, it automatically lights up the color LCD  
screen which labels the six buttons to either side of the screen. These  
button labels change based on what you are watching or listening to.  
Thus, if you have selected Watch TV, you will see a list of buttons that  
are useful to that activity, while if you select Watch DVD, the buttons  
will control the DVD.  
LIGHT Button  
Press the Light button on the  
side of the MX-880Z to back-  
light all of the buttons. Of  
course, you could opt to set  
the buttons to light automati-  
cally via the pick up sensor.

MX-880Z OWNERS MANUAL  
Optional RF “No Rules” Operation  
In combination with a Complete Control RF Base Station, the MX-880Z  
can control your system without being in line-of-sight of the equipment,  
by utilizing the MRZ-260 Universal Remote Control RF base station.  
1. The MX-880Z sends radio  
waves in every direction, so you  
don’t have to point the remote  
anymore!  
2. The MRZ-260 built-in Front Blaster sends commands to com-  
ponents in the same cabinet space or you can use flashers.  
3. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to the Infrared  
sensors on the front panels of your compo-  
nents. The Flashers relay commands to com-  
ponents out of sight of the MRZ-260 Front  
Blaster. The flashers plug in to the MRZ-260  
rear flasher line outputs via their 10 foot  
cables. Uniquely, the MRZ-260 can also con-  
nect to components with rear panel IR Inputs  
via its adjustable IR Line Outputs.

MX-880Z OWNERS MANUAL  
Installing and Charging the Battery  
Open the battery cover by pressing  
on the release clip and removing  
the cover.  
Note that the three contacts on the  
battery must connect to the three  
spring-loaded contacts in the MX-  
880Z. Angle the battery into the  
battery compartment, contacts first,  
then gently fit the rear of the battery  
into the compartment as well.  
Replace the battery cover by insert-  
ing the hinged end in first, then  
snapping the cover back into place.  
You can charge the Lithium Ion bat-  
tery by simply plugging the includ-  
ed charger into the base of the  
remote as shown here.  
The MX-880Z can be used while  
charging.

MX-880Z OWNERS MANUAL  
Programming the MX-880Z  
The MX-880Z is programmed via a Windows PC equipped with a USB  
port (programming cable included), using our proprietary software, MX-  
880Z Editor.  
To fully automate an audio/video system the programmer must have a  
detailed knowledge of each component and how the system is connected  
and operated. We highly recommend that you use a professional  
audio/video installer to program your MX-880Z so you will be able to  
enjoy all the benefits of the MX-880Z.

MX-880Z OWNERS MANUAL  
Selecting a New “Activity”  
The MX-880Z’s WATCH and LISTEN buttons display the activities you can  
control with your MX-880Z. When you want to watch something else (a

the radio or to a CD, touch the LISTEN button and select what you would  
like to listen to.

screen will change, and all of the LCD buttons will be reconfigured to  
give you full control of your system while watching or listening to your  
selection!  
When you press the LISTEN button,  
you can see the most frequently used  
activities you have for listening in  
your system.

MX-880Z OWNERS MANUAL  
Using the MX-880Z to Control an “Activity”  
Once you’ve selected a new activity, the MX-880Z displays the title of the  
activity at the top of the screen. Below the title, the LCD displays the cus-  
tomized names of any special features you need for the activity. All the  
hard buttons of the MX-880Z have now changed to functions optimized  
for this activity.  
The Title displays  
what activity you  
can control.  
The LCD button  
labels describe  
special features  
for this activity.  
Press either of the  
PAGE buttons to  
see any other avail-  
able choices.  
The Channel and  
Previous Channel  
buttons will change  
channels when you  
have selected an  
activity like Watch  
CABLETV or  
The Volume and  
Mute buttons always  
control the sound  
regardless of what  
screen is displayed.  
Watch SAT TV .  
The 4 way cursor  
buttons enable you  
to navigate on  
screen guides and  
menus with ease.  
The transport buttons  
(Play, Stop, Skip-, Skip+,  
FF, REW and Pause)  
The Number keypad  
will enter numbers  
for the activity you’ve  
selected. Thus, for  
watching Cable TV,  
you use the number  
keypad to enter chan-  
nel numbers, while  
when listening to CD,  
the number keypad  
enters track numbers.  
operate when the select-  
ed activity requires them

DVD, these buttons will  
control the DVD player).

tings that control your color screen, the button lighting, battery warnings  
and the clock. To access these settings, you must press and hold two buttons  
at the same time as shown here:

MX-880Z OWNERS MANUAL  
Selecting from the Setup Menus  
There are two pages of settings on the Setup Menu. Use the page buttons to  
view them. To select, simply press the corresponding button.  
Select the setting you’d like to adjust by pressing the  
button beside the screen.  
Use the Page button to see other pages.  
Exit the Setup Menus by pressing the WATCH or LIS-  
TEN button, or simply waiting (the setup menus time  
out in 30 seconds).  
Setting the Color Screen  
Although usage of the color screen will affect how frequently you have to  
charge the battery, the screen does not drain the battery as quickly as the  
button lighting does.  
Adjust the brightness of the screen to taste. In most  
lighting conditions, 50% gives good results.  
The Pick Up sensor senses motion, so it will keep  
the screen on (and drain your battery charge) as  
long as you are holding it in your hand. If you turn  
off the Pick Up sensor you will extend battery life  
(the screen will still light up when you press any  
button).  
Adjust how long the screen stays lit after you put it  
down or stop using it here.  
Setting Brightness  
Use the buttons next to DIM and BRIGHT to adjust the brightness. You’ll  
see the screen dim and brighten. When you have the right setting, press  
SAVE. Pressing Cancel discards all changes.  
Use the DIM and BRIGHT buttons to adjust the  
lighting of the color screen.  
Press the SAVE button to save your setting.

Off timing.

of button lighting.  
If you turn off Automatic On you will extend battery  
life (the buttons will still light up when you press the  
light button).  
The buttons will stay lit for so many seconds after  
you stop pressing buttons. Adjust to your preference
