CHAPTER 1Get Started
Uses and Features
Control4 System Remote Control Version 2 (model # RCZ-
SRC2-B) is intended for use in a Control4®system. It is
included with the purchase of a Media Controller or Home
Theater Controller, but may also be purchased separately.
This remote control can be used to:
•Navigate system menus and access media databases
on a television or monitor
•Navigate system menus and access media databases
in its own LCD window
•Control system devices
This remote control goes beyond a typical “universal”
remote that simply learns IR codes from TVs, VCRs, CD
players, and DVD players. Features of this device include:
•Bi-directional communication with system components
•ZigBee wireless mesh networking
•LCD with menu that provides full system access
•LCD back-lighting for ease of use in dark rooms
•Media playlists and playing options for stored media
•One-button push to control systems (such as music,
television, or videos)
•Ergonomically designed for comfort
•Standard control features for: Digital Satellite Systems
(DSS), Cable Boxes, TV Tuners, Digital Video Record-
ers (DVR), DVD Players or Changers, VCRs, TVs,
MP3 Players or CD Players or Changers
•Powered by four AAA batteries (included)

About the Modes
This remote control supports three different modes of
operation:
•On-Screen Navigator mode: In this mode you
access and control all system devices through a moni-
tor or TV on-screen menu (On-Screen Navigator).
Press the Control4 button to access the On-
Screen Navigator home page (or main menu) and
then press a system button (such as Radio or TV) to
display the specific submenu on the TV screen.
•LCD Navigator mode: In this mode you access all
system components through the LCD menu. Press the
LCD button to enter LCD Navigator mode and
display a menu in the LCD and press Cancel to exit.
Once you choose a media source (broadcast or
stored), the remote enters Device-Control mode and
allows you to control the device associated with the
selected media. Note: The LCD goes to sleep after 15
seconds of inactivity and it will wake up with any button press.
•Device-Control mode: In this mode you use the
System Remote Control to control the selected device.
When devices in the room are off, press RADIO,
MUSIC, TV, or VIDEOS button to enter the Device-
Control mode and begin controlling one of the associ-
ated devices. By default, it will be the most recently
used device (such as Multi Tuner) for the selected sys-
tem (such as Radio) in the current room. The remote
control will continue to control the current device until
another device is accessed.
The current mode affects the remote control behavior. The
following table shows a high-level summary of how
functionality differs from mode to mode.

the next generation of Control4 system remotes:

Install and Maintain Batteries
Install Batteries
Install the four AAA batteries (included with the
product) into the back of the device. Ensure
that you insert them into the remote control

battery compartment (with the + and - terminals
aligned correctly).
Use and Care Tips
•Keep battery contacts and compartment
clean.
•Remove batteries from the remote control if
it is not expected to be in use for several
months.
•Extreme temperatures reduce battery per-
formance. Avoid putting the remote control
in very warm places.
Replacement Safety Rules
CAUTION! To prevent battery shorting, leakage or
rupture:
•Use typical AAA Alkaline batteries only in the
remote control.
•Do not mix battery types, such as Alkaline and
rechargeable NiMH batteries.
•Do not attempt to recharge a battery unless the
battery is specifically marked “rechargeable.”
•Never dispose of batteries in a fire.
