For questions about your Custom Programming call:
Custom Programming of a complex home theater and/or
a multi-room system is one of the most challenging tasks
within an audio/video installation. It involves an intimate
knowledge of how the components interact and exact
details on the proper sequences of control.
Only a Complete Control dealer has the requisite
experience and training to quickly and effectively cus-
tomize a remote control for true automated operation.
Congratulations on your choice!

Congratulations
You’ve purchased a unique synthesis
of hardware and software engineer-
ing, the Complete Control MX-6000.
The twin goals of the design team
were to improve the elegance and
usability of touch screens through the
physical design while providing a
new standard in brightness, clarity
and animation for the touch screen
itself.
Easy Operation
By assigning the important home theater operational buttons to the
natural resting place of the end users thumbs, the MX-6000
achieves a new standard in use and comfort.
Automatic Backlighting
The integral motion sensor detects any movement of the touch
screen and automatically backlights the screen. You do not have to
press any button to display the screen. Any movement of the MX-
6000 renews the backlighting. To adjust the backlighting, see page
11.
Programming the MX-6000
To fully automate an audio/video system and integrate two way
automation of servers etc. the programmer must have a detailed
knowledge of each component, LAN configuration, WiFi optimiza-
tion and how the system is connected and operated. Only a trained
and certified professional audio/video installer can install an MX-
6000 automation system in a timely and efficient manner.
Integrated Stylus
Stowed away in the top right hand corner storage slot, is a custom
made stylus for your convenience.

Connecting the Battery Pack
Unlock the rear cover by pressing down on the two locking tabs
and sliding the battery cover forward.
Remove the cover. For shipment from the factory, the battery is left
out of the MX-6000. Place the battery into the battery compart-
ment, making sure you align the contacts on the battery to the con-
tacts on the MX-6000. The battery will snap into place when
aligned properly.
Replace the cover and snap it into place.
Using the Charging Base
Plug the 6V DC adapter into a power outlet and into the back of
the charging base.
Gently place the MX-6000
into the cradle of the charging
base. It automatically aligns
itself to the contacts on the
charging base.
The Status light should imme-
diately light. Red indicates
that it is charging. Blue shows
that it is fully charged. There is
no harm in leaving the MX-
6000 on its charging base
whenever it is not in use.
Two Way via WiFi
To use the MX-6000 with any two way companion product, the
MX-6000 must be configured by your installer to be part of a LAN
(local area network) via a WiFi b/g access point or router. This is
not user configurable. If you have any questions, consult with your
custom installer.
Red indicates charging, Blue that the remote is fully
charged.

Optional RF “No Rules” Operation
In combination with an MSC-400 Master System Controller, or an
RF Base Station, the MX-6000 can control your system without
being in line-of-sight of the equipment.
The MSC-400 enhances the capabilities of the MX-6000 by storing
and issuing Smart Macros to your main system components. It is
triggered by RF Smart Macro commands via RF (radio frequency).
In addition, your MX-6000 can control components in secondary
rooms and systems via MRF-350 or MRF-260 RF base stations.
4. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to the
Infrared sensors on the front panels of
your components. Uniquely, all
Complete Control base stations can also
connect to components with rear panel
IR Inputs via adjustable IR Line
Outputs. The MSC-400 offers RS-232
control via rear panel connections as
well.
3. The MSC-400 can control IR, RS232 and Relay con-
trolled devices.
1. The MX-6000 sends radio
waves in every direction, so
you don’t have to point the
remote anymore!
2. The RFX-250 RF Sensor can be
freely positioned for optimal recep-
tion.
