Congratulations!
You’ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering, the
Complete Control MX-900i. The MX-900i achieves a magnificent combination of
power and flexibility, simplifying and automating operation of even the most
complex system.

Custom Labeled Buttons
The MX-900i is equipped with a bright easy to read LCD screen which
labels the six buttons to the right of the screeen. These button labels

activity, while if you select DVD, the buttons will control the DVD.

Programming the MX-900i
The MX-900i is programmed via a Windows PC equipped with a USB port
(programming cable included), using our proprietary software, MX-900i
Editor. You can download this software from our website:
www.universalremote.com
Basic setup takes only a few minutes with this software. However, to fully
automate an audio/video system the user must have a detailed knowledge
of each component, you the user (and your preferences) and how the
system is connected and operated. We highly recommend that you use a
professional audio/video installer to program your MX-900i so you will be
able to enjoy all the benefits of the MX-900i as well as one touch operation
via macros.

to a CD, touch the L STEN button and select what you would like to listen to.
Your installer will have programmed the button you pressed to totally config-
ure your system to watch or listen to whatever you selected. Now, the screen

watch CABLETV with a
TiVo type of DVR, these

you are watching a
DVD, these buttons will
control the DVD player).
The Volume and
Mute buttons always
control the sound
regardless of what
screen is displayed.
