2. Batteries  
A. Battery Installation  
Before the remote control can be used, the batteries need to  
be installed. First, remove the battery cover on the back of  
the unit and install the four AAA batteries inside the  
battery compartment as shown. Make sure the batteries line  
up with the (+) and (-) markings. Improper installation  
could damage the remote control. When you're done, slide  
the battery cover back on. The remote control starts up  
automatically and the default devices will appear on the  
LCD screen.  
B. Battery Life  
Under normal operating conditions, the batteries will last  
approximately six months. If the batteries are running low,  
you will notice reduced range from the remote, commands  
that are not sent properly, or are not sent at all. You may  
also notice the backlighting of the LCD screen and the  
buttons is diminished. Should any of these occur, replace  
the batteries immediately. To ensure proper performance of  
the unit, use 4 new AAA alkaline batteries.  
The remote control will retain the commands and settings  
in memory even after the batteries are low or become  
discharged. See Memory Lock on page 46. However, you  
should replace the worn batteries with a fresh set as soon as  
possible. Do not mix new and used batteries.

3. Summary of Operations  
A. Description of Devices  
The MX-500TM is designed to operate up to ten components  
including Audio Receivers, Cable and Satellite Boxes,  
TV, DVD (LD), VCR, DVR, CD, Tape and AUX.  
However, each of the device buttons and corresponding  
functions can be changed to meet your individual  
requirements. Almost any device that uses infrared  
commands can be controlled by the MX-500TM, including  
Home Automation, Personal computers and more.  
Each device button on the main screen contains two sub-  
pages of commands and you can change the name of any  
LCD button using up to five alphabet characters, numbers  
and symbols to customize the unit to fit your audio/video  
devices. Please refer to “LCD Button Editing” on page 39  
for additional details.  
B. Preprogrammed Codes  
The MX-500TM comes with extensive preprogrammed IR  
codes for practically all major audio and video equipment.  
You can set up and operate all of your components with the  
MX-500TM by simply entering a three-digit code number  
assigned to your brand of component. The code numbers  
for the various brands of components are listed in the back  
of this instruction manual. Please refer to the programming  
instructions shown on page 13 for details.

3. Summary of Operations  
C. Learning From Other Remote Controls  
The MX-500TM can learn codes from your original remote  
controls. There are 26 LCD screens in the MX-500TM. Each  
screen (page) has ten function buttons, including the ten  
device buttons on the main menu screen that can be taught.  
In addition, there are 31 buttons and a joystick (thumbpad)  
that can be taught for each of the ten devices. You can  
teach up to 530 new functions into the remote control.  
Please refer to page 19 in this instruction manual for  
details.  
D. Macro Operations  
A “macro” is a series of commands that you choose to be  
sent out with the push of one button. Any function  
available on your original remote control or in the  
preprogrammed database can be added to a macro to  
completely automate what you would normally do by  
pushing buttons one at a time. It can be as simple as  
turning on your TV and Cable Box, turning the TV to the  
appropriate channel for operation with the Cable Box, and  
changing the Cable Box channel to your favorite morning  
news. A macro can be configured to Power On your TV,  
DVD player and receiver, change to the appropriate inputs  
and outputs, dim your lights and start a movie. It can be as  
simple or as comprehensive as you want.  
There are two types of macro buttons you can use for  
macro operations:  
M1, M2, M3, POWER and SYSTEM OFF Buttons  
The M1, M2, and M3 are called “system-wide” buttons  
because they send out the same signal no matter what  
device you are currently controlling. The POWER and  
7

3. Summary of Operations  
SYSTEM OFF buttons can be made “system-wide” if they  
are programmed with macros.  
(Note: Programming the POWER or SYSTEM OFF buttons  
with a macro overrides the preprogrammed or learned  
code on the button.)  
See page 26 of this manual for further information. Each of  
these five buttons is designed to be able to send out a series  
of up to 20 commands you program into the buttons. One  
common use is to turn on and turn off all of your A/V  
components with one button press, but the buttons can be  
programmed with whatever macro you desire.  
Ten Device Buttons  
There are ten device buttons and each of these device  
buttons can send out a series of up to 20 programmed  
commands when pressed for more than one second. These  
buttons are commonly used in sending audio input codes  
when you press the button to go to a device. The audio  
receiver would make an automatic input switch according  
to the device button you pressed. However, these buttons  
can be programmed with whatever macro you desire.  
E. Favorite Channel Buttons  
You can create up to 50 favorite channel buttons in the  
MX-500TM by programming the most frequently watched  
channel numbers into these buttons. Each of these buttons  
can send out up to 10 commands. Please refer to page 24 of  
the manual for Favorite Channel Programming.  
F. Punch Through Operations  
The MX-500TM can be set up to operate your audio component  
volume control buttons (VOLUME UP and DOWN and

You can also set up the remote to operate channel control and  
transport functions (PLAY, STOP, REWIND, FAST  
FORWARD, SKIP-, SKIP+, PAUSE and RECORD buttons)  
from VCR, DVD, DVR, LD, CD or any other mode while all  
other buttons in the remote control are controlling other  
components. Please refer to page 32 in the manual for details.  
G. Editing LCD Text  
You can write your own text on each of the twenty-six  
LCD screens. Please refer to page 39 in the manual for  
details.

H. Cloning The MX-500  
The MX-500TM is capable of sending all the programmed  
codes and operations from one MX-500TM to another  
MX-500TM. Please refer to page 43 in the manual for  
details.  
I. All Other Operations  
You can set the duration of the backlight on time and  
change the LCD screen contrast. Please refer to pages 42  
and 44 in the manual for additional details.  
Note: The last Device selected will remain active when you  
are on the MAIN page and will be shown at the bottom of  
the LCD screen. For example, if you are using “TV” and  
then return to the MAIN page, the hard buttons remain in  
TV mode. The LCD buttons only change when you select  
another device.

4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components  
WHERE DO I START?  
First of all, get all of your original remote controls together.  
Find out what brands of components you have. You may  
have one or more components that do not have original  
remote controls, but can still be controlled by the  
MX-500TM. You must use the preprogrammed method for  
those devices. For the rest, you can program the MX-500TM  
to make it compatible with your components by following  
the preprogrammed method instructions, by using your  
original remote controls to teach the MX-500TM, or both  
methods.  
Next, it is a good idea to decide whether you want a  
“Device-based” configuration, or if you want an  
“Activity-based” configuration.  
A “ Device-based” configuration centers on each Device  
with its two LCD pages controlling one component. All of  
the functions that your original remote control has on it  
would be put on to one device. The MX-500TM comes with  
the labels and preprogrammed codes in a “Device-based”  
setup.  
If you go to the “List of Preprogrammed LCD Text by  
Device” on page 53, you will see diagrams of how the  
MX-500TM is set up at the factory. When you choose a  
preprogrammed code for a component from the “Setup  
Code Tables” in the Appendix of this manual, that code  
will be applied to one device only.  
An “Activity-based” configuration centers on what you are  
doing at the time. If you are watching a DVD on your TV,  
and are using your Home Theater receiver to control the  
12

4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components  
sound, you may want to start by setting up the DVD  
Device using the preprogrammed method described below,  
and then add functions from the other devices you will be  
using while watching your DVD video to the DVD device.  
For example, while playing a DVD, you will want to adjust  
the volume of your receiver. So, you would use the “Punch  
Through” method described on page 32 to put the  
Receiver's Volume control into your DVD Device. You  
may then want to adjust other functions of your Receiver  
while staying in the DVD device, so you would use the  
learning method described on page 19 to add those  
functions to your DVD device, such as surround sound  
controls, the receiver's DVD input code, the TV's power  
code, etc. Everything that you need for watching a DVD on  
your TV without having to jump back and forth from  
Device to Device.  
You can decide where on the MX-500TM you want your  
functions to reside, relabeling the LCD screen buttons  
(explained on page 39) for those functions, and choosing  
preprogramming, learning, or a combination of both to  
fully customize your MX-500TM will give you a remote  
totally customized to your needs.  
So, let's start with learning how to Preprogram the  
MX-500TM.  
A. Using Preprogrammed Codes  
1. Three-Digit Code Number  
You can program the MX-500TM to make it compatible with  
your components by using the preprogrammed method:  
13  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components  
1. Manually turn on the device you wish to operate.  
2. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and  
ENTER buttons simultaneously for three seconds until  
SETUP appears at the top of the LCD screen.  
3. Press the P-PRO button next to the LCD screen.  
4. The remote will be flashing “SELECT BUTTON”.  
Press the button for the device you wish to program. (For  
example, to program TV, press the TV button.)  
5. The remote will be flashing “FROM TABLE”. Select the  
device from which you want to access the code table.  
Important: If you have already relabeled your device  
keys, your LCD screen will not look like the illustration  
above. Select the appropriate LCD button for the “FROM  
TABLE” using the labels as shown in the illustration on  
page 11 of this manual. For example, if you have relabeled  
AUX as LIGHTS, you would still push the bottom-left  
button to access the AUX Code Table.  
6. The remote will be flashing “ENTER NUMBER”. Refer  
to the tables starting on page 58 in the back of this manual  
and find the manufacturer of your device. (If you are  
programming the remote for the TV device, find the TV  
device code table.)  
7. Point the remote control toward the device and enter the  
14  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components  
first three-digit code number you selected for your device.  
There is no way of knowing which code is the one that will  
have the functions that more closely match your device  
than the others, so it is wise to try them all. See step #9  
below.  
(Please enter the code number within 20 seconds of  
beginning programming, otherwise the remote will revert  
to the SETUP menu, and then after a period of time, it will  
go back to the MAIN device page.)  
If there is more than one code number assigned to your  
brand, try one code number at a time until you find the  
right code number (the number that turns off your device.)  
If the device turns off when you enter the three-digit code,  
make note of the code. It will have at least some of the  
functions in it that are needed to control your device.  
8. Confirm that it is the right code by pressing the Power  
button. The device should turn on. After you have  
confirmed that the right code is entered, save the code by  
pressing the SAVE button on the LCD.  
9. At this point try ALL of the buttons on the remote, and  
see which ones work with your device. The majority of the  
buttons should work with your device. Make note of the  
code if it seems to be the right one, and try the next one.  
You are trying to find the one that has the most functions to  
operate your equipment. If there are any functions missing,  
you will learn them from your original remote in the  
“Learning Method” section on page 19.  
10. Continue to program other components by repeating  
from Step 1 above.  
11. You can press EXIT at any time if you do not wish to  
proceed.  
15

4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components  
12. When you are finished programming your remote, exit  
from the preprogramming mode by pressing the MAIN  
button and then exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the  
MAIN button once again.  
Tip: You can change the preprogrammed code for each  
device at any time by following the steps above. The new  
code will override the old code. For example, this would be  
done if you replaced your old TV with a new one.  
2. Auto Scan With Three-Digit Number  
You can also program your remote control by sending out a  
series of Power Off commands for different brands stored  
in the library by using the following steps. This is similar  
to the first method, except it is easier to move through all  
of the device codes for your device and make note of each  
one that turns your device OFF.  
1. Manually turn on the device you plan to operate.  
2. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and  
ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds.  
3. Press the P-PRO button next to the LCD screen.  
16

4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components  
4. The remote will be flashing “SELECT BUTTON”.  
Press the device you wish to program. (For example, to  
program TV, press the TV button.)  
5. The remote will be flashing “FROM TABLE”. Select the  
device from which the scanned code will be selected.  
(Important: If you have already relabeled your device  
keys, your LCD screen will not look like the illustration  
above. Select the appropriate LCD button for the “FROM  
TABLE” using the labels as shown in the illustration on  
page 11 of this manual. For example, if you have relabeled  
AUX as LIGHTS, you would still push the bottom-left  
button to access the AUX Code Table.  
6. Point the remote control toward the component and  
alternately press the UP (or DOWN ) button on the LCD  
and the Power button. If the right code number is sent, the  
component will turn off right after the code number is  
transmitted.  
(Please press the UP (or DOWN ) button within 20 seconds  
of beginning programming, otherwise the remote will  
revert to the SETUP menu, and then after a period of time,  
it will go back to the MAIN device page.)

7. Confirm that it is the right code by pressing the Power  
button. After you have confirmed that the right code is  
entered, save the code by pressing the SAVE button on the  
LCD.  
8. Confirm that you entered the right code number that  
matches your component by pressing other functional  
buttons. If any of the buttons do not operate, as they  
should, please repeat from Step 1.  
9. Continue to program other components by repeating  
from step 1 above.  
10. You can press EXIT at any time if you do not wish to  
proceed.  
11. Exit from Preprogrammed mode by pressing the MAIN  
button and then exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the  
MAIN button once again.

4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components  
B. Learning Method  
You can program the MX-500TM to operate a device by  
“teaching” the correct commands to device buttons on the  
main screen menu, the two sub-pages within each device  
button, 31 buttons and the joystick located in the middle of  
the remote control. The MX-500TM learns these commands  
by receiving infrared signals directly from your existing  
remote controls. The MX-500TM receives these signals  
through its learning eye, located at the top of the unit.  
Apart from the PAGE, MAIN and FAV buttons, which  
cannot be taught, the MX-500TM has the capability of  
learning up to 530 commands.  
Tip: Function buttons are any buttons that can be assigned  
a command to control a particular action for your device.  
Commonly used function buttons include the two pages of  
sub-commands within each of the 10 devices, channel up  
and down, volume up and down, menu, guide, exit, info,  
0-9, and the joystick.  
Points to Remember  
If the remote control fails to learn a function after the first try:  
ꢀ
Keep the remotes stable by placing them on a flat surface.  
Make sure the original remote is pointed at the learning  
ꢀ
eye at the top end of the case and is not at an angle.  
ꢀ
Make sure both remotes’ batteries aren't low.  
Avoid programming the MX-500 under bright lighting.  
TM  
ꢀ
It can interfere with the infrared signals.  
ꢀ
Try again. Sometimes the second or third attempt works.  
Some buttons require a single, short push of the original  
ꢀ
remote's button, other “repeating” buttons, such as the  
VOL button, require that you “press and hold” the original

4. Programming the MX-500TMto Control Your Components  
6. Press the button on the MX-500TM you wish to program.  
Only the three MAIN, PAGE and FAV buttons cannot be  
programmed.  
7. Press the button on your original remote control that you  
wish to program onto the MX-500TM. Once the MX-500TM  
has received the signal, the MX-500TM will flash “Good” on  
the LCD screen, indicating it learned the code correctly.  
(Please do Step #6 within 20 seconds of Step #5, otherwise  
the remote will revert to the SETUP menu, and then after a  
period of time, it will go back to the MAIN device page.)  
If it flashes “Fail”, repeat from Step 4 until it learns  
successfully.  
8. Return to Step #3 until you have programmed all of the  
buttons that you require.  
9. Once you complete the programming and wish to exit  
the LEARNING mode, press the MAIN button. Exit from  
the SET UP mode by pressing the MAIN button once  
again.  
Tip: Learning to VOL, CH and Transport buttons: If you  
are having problems learning to the Volume, Channel and  
Transport buttons, it may be that you have previously  
assigned a “Punch Through” from another device to that  
device. To remove a Punch Through, just punch through  
the device to itself. For example, to erase a punch through  
from a TV to an Audio Device, just punch through the TV  
to the TV.  
(See “Programming Punch Through” functions on  
Page 32.)

2. Programming The Ten Device Buttons  
This will program ONE learned code onto the Device  
button, so that when you select that Device, it will send out  
the learned signal as it changes to that Device's function  
pages.  
1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and  
ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds.  
2. Press the LEARN button next to the LCD screen.  
3. Important: Press the PAGE button.  
4. Place your original remote control head to head with the  
MX-500TM about 2 inches apart on a flat surface.  
5. Select any of the ten device buttons you wish to  
program on the MX-500TM. Press the button on your  
original remote control you wish to program into the  
Device button you have chosen on the MX-500TM. Once the  
MX-500TM has received the signal, the MX-500TM will flash  
“Good” on the LCD screen, indicating it learned the code  
correctly. If it flashes “Fail”, repeat from Step 4 until it  
learns successfully. (Please enter the code signal within 20  
seconds of programming.)  
6. Return to Step #5 until you have programmed all of the  
Device buttons that you require.

7. Once you complete the programming and wish to exit  
the Learning mode, press the MAIN button. Exit from the  
SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button once again.  
Tip: Only follow these instructions if you actually want a  
code sent when changing devices. Some users do not want  
a Device to send out a code when changing to that device.  
For example: You program the AMP's TV input code on the  
TV device, and are in the DVD device pages because you  
are controlling the DVD player. The AMP's input is set to  
DVD. Now you want to quickly adjust the picture on the TV.  
If you push the TV Device button, it will change the input  
on your AMP to TV and you will not be able to adjust the  
picture for your DVD. In this case, it would be better not to  
program a code to the TV device. However, your  
circumstances may be different.

5. Programming Favorite Channels  
Tip: If you press a wrong channel number, move the cursor  
by using the left or right button of the joystick and then  
reassign the correct channel number.  
6. Return to Step #3 until you have programmed all of the  
FAV channel buttons that you require.  
7. Once you have completed the programming and wish to  
exit from the Favorite Channel mode, press the MAIN  
button. Exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN  
button once again.  
Tip: There are five pages of LCD screens for favorite  
channel programming. You move to other pages by  
pressing the PAGE or FAV button.  
Tip: You can use the following buttons: 0-9, ENTER,  
DISPLAY, POWER, SYSTEM OFF, and INFO/PAUSE in  
your FAV macro.  
Tip: (For Advanced Users) To make even more powerful  
FAV macros, you can learn codes from your original  
remote(s) to the 0-9, ENTER, DISPLAY, POWER, SYSTEM  
OFF, and INFO/PAUSE buttons in any device, and use  
them in your FAV macros. (This will not work if you have  
already applied a preprogrammed device code to those  
buttons.)  
For example: Some televisions require you to send out a  
code after the digits other than the ENTER code in order to  
change channels. For this, you could LEARN the proper  
code to the ENTER button from your original television  
remote, and use that in your FAV macro. If you are  
creative, you can learn any codes to these buttons and  
make your FAV macros do almost anything!

6. Programming Macro Buttons  
A “macro” is a series of commands that you choose to be  
sent out with the push of one button.  
There are two types of macro functions you can program  
with the MX-500TM:  
The M1, M2, M3, POWER and SYSTEM OFF buttons  
are designed to send out up to twenty commands from each  
of the five hard buttons. The ten device buttons can each  
send a macro of up to 20 commands when the device  
button is pressed for more than 1 second while on the  
MAIN page of the remote control.  
Important: If you program the POWER or SYSTEM OFF  
buttons with a macro, they will no longer function as ON  
and OFF buttons for your components. Just erase any  
macros you have programmed on to these buttons if you  
want to restore the original ON and OFF function.  
See the “Tips” at the end of this section for help on  
programming macros.  
A. Programming Macro Functions To M1, M2, M3,  
POWER And SYSTEM OFF Buttons  
1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN and  
ENTER button simultaneously for three seconds.  
2. Press the MACRO button next to the LCD screen.

System Off you wish to store your macro on.  
4. Press the functional buttons you wish to store in the  
device macro button you selected, in the order you want  
them stored. You can store up to 20 commands.  
Important: Do not press the MAIN button at the beginning  
of your macro, or it will not work. You can use the MAIN  
button at any other step in your macro.  
5. Be sure to end your macro on the Device page that you  
would like it to remain on when the macro is sent in normal  
use.  
6. Store the commands you programmed into the macro  
button by pressing the Channel Up button.  
7. Return to Step #3 until you have programmed all of the  
Macros that you require.  
8. Once you have completed the programming and wish to  
exit from this mode, press the MAIN button. Exit from the  
SETUP mode by pressing MAIN button once again.  
Tip: The M1, M2, M3, POWER and SYSTEM OFF macros  
are “system-wide”, meaning they will function the same no  
matter what device you are in when you use them.

6. Programming Macro Buttons  
Tip: Remember that a single push of a Device Button that  
has a macro connected to it will take you to that device's  
function pages. You will need to hold the Device Button  
down for 1 second in order to send out the macro that you  
have created for that Device Button.  
Tip: Pressing the PAUSE button (the key to the bottom  
right of the cursor pad) during the macro programming  
will add a time delay of 0.2 seconds between the  
commands. For example, pressing the PAUSE button three  
times will create a pause of 0.6 seconds between the  
commands where the delay was inserted. Pressing the  
PAUSE button does not count as a macro step.  
Tip: When using a macro, remember to keep the remote  
pointed toward your components until the macro is finished  
being transmitted. You will notice the “Sending” icon flash  
in the upper right corner of the LCD screen as the macro is  
sending out each command. It will not show when a series  
of PAUSE commands are being executed. Wait until the  
icon finishes flashing before using other functions or  
putting the remote down.  
Sample Macro: The following is a sample macro, to give  
you a quick idea of what a macro can do, in an easy step-  
by-step form. Please refer to “Programming Macro  
Buttons” above if you need to refresh your memory on  
programming macros. This example assumes you have not  
changed the names of the devices and that you have used  
“punch through” to assign the VOL to your receiver. If you  
have changed the labels, just insert your changed names in  
the example below.

most receivers and amps take time to “cycle up” and can't  
receive any commands, such as input, until the device is  
ready. So we have had the other steps of the macro running  
while the Audio device is “cycling up”.)  
13. Press PAUSE three times. (The button on the bottom  
right of the joystick. We've done this since our particular  
receiver takes longer than normal to “cycle up”, so we  
have pressed the PAUSE button to insert more time for the  
receiver to get to the point where it will receive another  
command. Pressing the PAUSE button three times allows  
for an extra. 6 seconds of wait time. 3 x .2 seconds  
per push=.6 seconds)  
14. Press CATV. (Since you are in the Audio device, this  
selects the “CAbleTV” input on that device.)

Cable box to 135.  
Note: You can end your macro on any page you like,  
including the MAIN page. We deliberately ended our macro  
on the Cable page before we saved it, since that is where  
we wanted to be at the end of our macro.

16. Memory Lock  
The MX-500TM has an internal memory lock system that  
retains all of the programs and learned functions for an  
extended period in the event of battery loss.  
17. Glossary  
Backlight: A feature that illuminates the LCD screen or  
keypad for use in low light or dark conditions.  
Battery type: The MX-500TM uses 4 standard disposable  
alkaline AAA batteries, or the new rechargeable alkaline  
batteries.  
Codes: Can refer to either the numeric codes needed to  
program a preprogrammed remote control, or the actual  
infrared signals transmitted by remote controls to devices.  
Component: See device.  
Contrast: Either an arbitrary description of how "clear" an  
LCD screen is for viewing, or a specific adjustment that  
allows you to customize the screen's visible characteristics.  
Delay: Usually a pause placed between two steps in a  
macro. Delays may be required in order for some devices  
to properly sense two separate commands, or may be used  
to wait for a device to finish powering up. The MX-500TM  
allows you to change that delay.  
46  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
17. Glossary  
Discrete codes: Versions of toggle codes that only perform  
one function. Some examples would be "POWER ON" and  
"POWER OFF" or "VCR," "TUNER" and "DVD" receiver  
inputs. These types of signals are most often used to ensure  
your home theater components stay completely in sync for  
powering on and off and changing device inputs. Some of  
the preprogrammed codes in the MX-500TM contain discrete  
codes. If your original remote contains discrete codes,  
these can be taught to the MX-500TM as well.  
Device: The MX-500TM remote control is capable of  
controlling a certain number of devices, or pieces of  
equipment. Examples of devices would be televisions,  
DVD players, receivers or VCRs. Some devices, such as  
receivers or dual-cassette decks, may be treated by some  
remotes as more than one device. Also known as  
components.  
Firmware: Indicates the programming software stored on  
the remote control. The MX-500TM remote can have its  
firmware flashed (upgraded) to a newer version.  
Frequencies: The range of infrared carrier frequencies that  
a remote control is capable of learning or controlling. Most  
remotes operate between 30 and 60kHz, however some use  
higher and are thus known as high frequency.  
The MX-500TM operates and can learn frequencies between  
10 kHz and 100kHz.  
Hard buttons: Refers to all physical (mechanical) buttons  
on a remote control.  
High frequency: Indicates an infrared system that employs  
47

17. Glossary  
frequencies higher than the industry standard. Some  
examples would be Bang & Olufsen, Kenwood (455KHz)  
and older Pioneer Elite (1.125MHz). Such devices are  
never preprogrammed into off-the-shelf remote controls  
and can generally only be used with very specific learning  
remote controls.  
Infrared: "IR" A portion of the light spectrum below our  
visible range, used by many modern remote controls to  
transmit signals. The MX-500TM uses IR signals.  
Infrared emitter: A light emitting diode used to transmit  
infrared signals from a remote control. Generally, the more  
and better the emitters, the stronger and wider the resulting  
signal. A remote with strong emitters can generally be used  
without pointing at the desired device. Emitters are also  
partially responsible for any limits on the range of  
frequencies that can be controlled. Emitters are always  
placed at the "top" of a remote control and are typically  
shielded by a red plastic window. The MX-500TM has 2 very  
strong IR emitters.  
Infrared receiver: The portion of a device that receives  
infrared commands from a remote control. Since infrared is  
actually light, it requires line-of-sight visibility for best  
operation, but can still be reflected by items such as walls  
and glass. Poorly placed IR receivers can also result in  
what is called "tunnel vision," where they are set so far  
back into the chassis of a device that the operational range  
of any remote control is severely reduced.  
Joystick: A feature on some remote controls, the joystick  
is a single pointer which replicates five functions for menu  
48

17. Glossary  
control: up, down, left, right and enter. The Joystick on the  
MX-500TM can be programmed with other commands as  
well. The Joystick on the MX-500TM is sometimes referred  
to as a Thumbpad.  
Keypad: Generally refers to all hard buttons on a remote  
control, or more specifically the numeric keypad (0 through 9).  
LCD screen: The display device built into the MX-500TM.  
The MX-500TM LCD screen displays mode and  
programming information, along with macro commands  
and soft buttons.  
Learning: The process through which a remote control  
captures and stores infrared signals (codes) from other  
remotes for later use. Some factors which can affect the  
ability of one remote to learn another would be code  
length, signal frequency, type of signal and the amount of  
learning memory available. The MX-500TM is capable of  
learning to every button, including the joystick, except the  
Page, Main, Fav buttons.  
Macro: Macros are sequences of infrared commands that  
are played back, in order, by a remote control at the push of  
a single button. Macros can be used to automate the  
powering on or off of your system, playing a movie or  
changing inputs, or in Home Automation.  
Memory: The amount of space included on a remote  
control for storing all settings, such as preprogrammed  
codes, learned signals, macros, and more. The MX-500TM  
has a large memory reserve for learning new codes.

17. Glossary  
Memory backup: The MX-500TM can retain its programming  
information for an indefinite amount of time without  
batteries installed. Remotes that do not feature this may  
have their programming erased when changing batteries.  
Operating distance: The distance from which a remote  
control can still reliably operate devices. The average  
infrared range is thirty feet, although the MX-500TM is  
capable of greater distances.  
Page: Refers to a single screen of buttons or information  
displayed on the LCD panel.  
Pause: See Delay.  
Power off: A feature used by many LCD remote controls  
to save battery power, it represents entering a "standby"  
mode after a certain length of inactivity. The MX-500TM  
uses very little power with the LCD screen on, so the  
screen remains on at all times.  
Preprogrammed: Indicates a library of infrared codes  
built in to a particular remote. This feature allows a remote  
to control your equipment without needing to learn  
individual signals, or replace a particular remote that is lost  
or broken. The database used for the preprogrammed  
Device codes may not be able to control all your devices.  
In this case you can simply use the learning capabilities of  
the remote.  
Punch Through: A term coined to represent the ability to  
use certain functions from one device under another. For  
instance, when a remote is set to the "Television" device,  
the transport keys may be "punched through" to operate the  
50

17. Glossary  
VCR, while the volume keys may be "punched through" to  
operate the audio receiver.  
Signals: See “ codes” or “ infrared.”  
Thumbpad: A feature on certain remote controls, the  
thumbpad is a single disc-shaped pointer which replicates  
five functions for menu control: up, down, left, right and  
enter. Also referred to as a “ joystick.”  
Transport control: A common term for the group of  
VCR/LD/DVD/DVR media operation controls, such as  
fast-forward, rewind, play, stop, pause, etc.  
Two-way: Some devices actually send information back to  
a remote control during use. This is known as 2-way  
communications. Most 2-way components can still be  
controlled via a 1-way remote, although certain  
workarounds must be used when learning signals. The  
MX-500TM is capable of controlling most 2-way  
components.
