TRC-780 OWNER’SMANUAL
Congratulations!
You’ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engi-
neering, the Total Control TRC-780. The TRC-780 achieves a magnifi-
cent combination of power and flexibility by simplifying and
automating the operation of even the most complex systems.
The MRX-10 controller is required to make the TRC-780 work. The
combination of the TRC-780 and MRX-10 create a robust and power-
ful system.
Backlit Color OLED Screen Buttons
When any button is pressed, the color OLED screen as well as the
remote buttons light up. Once the screen is lit, each of the six buttons
on either side of the screen will have a label. 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. If you are listening to your iPod through a PSX-2, you will
be able to browse the iPod content.
RF “No Rules” Operation
The TRC-780 communicates directly to the MRX-10 via 2.4 GHz
bidirectional RF. This gives the TRC-780 the ability to control your
system without being in direct line of sight of the equipment.
Your custom installer may have installed a ZR-1 Repeater to improve
communication between the TRC-780 remote controls and the
MRX-10 in your system.
Replacing the Batteries
Unlock the battery cover by pushing up on the spring lock at the
bottom of the cover. Remove the cover.
Observe the + and – polarity indi-
cators inside the battery compart-
ment and the batteries. Place the
four AA batteries into their posi-
tions in the battery compartment.
Now, replace the battery cover and
snap it into place.

Displaying the Settings Screen
You can adjust settings of the TRC-780 whenever
you like by pressing and holding the MAIN + ENT
button for three seconds. When you do the screen
will change to the Settings Menu. If you do not press
any button on the Settings screen, the TRC-780 will
beep signifying a time-out after 30 seconds and
return to the previous setting or main screen.
There are two pages of Settings screens. To access
the other page, press either of the page buttons.
To select a setting, press the corresponding button.
To go back a step or to get out of the settings screen,
press either the MAIN button or the EXIT button on
the TRC-780.
Color Screen
Color screen settings give two configurable options.
1. Brightness: Adjust the screen brightness by
pressing the screen buttons on the left and right
side of the slider bar. Once the brightness is
adjusted, press the Save button.
Pressing the Cancel button will revert to the
remotes last saved brightness setting.
Note: The higher the brightness, the faster the
batteries will deplete.
2. Automatic Turn Off: Adjust the duration the
OLED screen will stay illuminated after a button
is pressed. Pressing the left and right screen
buttons, next to the slider bar, will change how
long the OLED screen will stay on.
Pressing the Less side will decrease the time in

TRC-780 OWNER’SMANUAL
steps down to a minimum time of 5 seconds.
Pressing the More side will increase the time in
steps up to a maximum of 60 seconds. Once the
setting is adjusted, press the Save button. Pressing
the Cancel button will revert the remote’s Automatic
Turn Off setting to the last saved setting.
Note: The longer the OLED screen stays on, the faster
the batteries will deplete.
Button Light
The Button Light settings page provides two
configurable options for how the TRC-780’s
hard buttons should behave.
1. Automatic ON: Adjusting this setting will
control when the hard button backlight
turns on.
a. Automatic Light Yes: Every time a
button is pressed the button back light will automati-
cally turn On.
b. Automatic Light No: The only way to turn on the hard
button back-light is to press the dedicated Lights button
located on the right side of the remote control.
Once all changes have been made, press the Save button.
Pressing the Cancel button will revert to the remotes last saved
setting.
Note: The more often the back light turns On, the faster the
batteries will deplete.
2. Automatic Turn Off: You can adjust the amount of time the back-
light will remain after a button is pressed.
Press the left and right screen buttons next
to the slider bar to change the duration.
Pressing the Less side will decrease the time
in steps down to a minimum of 5seconds.
Pressing the More side will increase the time
in steps up to a maximum of 60 seconds.
Once the setting has been adjusted, simply
press the Save button. Pressing the Cancel button will revert to
the remote’s last saved Automatic Turn off setting.
Note: The longer the backlight stays on, the faster the batteries
will deplete.

The battery indicator will blink when the
batteries are low and need to be replaced.
Once the setting is adjusted, press
the Save button. Pressing the Cancel button will revert to the
remotes last saved Power Remaining setting.
2. System Info: The System Info screen dis-
plays data about the TRC-780’s memory
usage, and operating system version.

you to the Operating System information,
and pressing the Prev button will take you
back to the System Memory information.

Use the screen buttons to the left and right of
the slider bar to adjust the button sound.
Once the setting is adjusted, press the Save
button. Pressing the Cancel button will revert
to the remotes last saved button beep setting.

Date/Time
The Date and Time are automatically sent from the
MRX-10 to the TRC-780. If you would like to
adjust the date or time you can do so on the
remote control. Note: Any Date or Time adjust-
ment made on the TRC-780 will automatically go
out to all the other remotes and keypads in the
system.
1. Change Date: Tap the button beside Day, Month,
or Year, then use the numeric keypad to enter
in the new date information. When you are
finished, press the Save button.
2. Change Time: Tap the button beside Hour of
Minutes, then use the numeric keypad to enter
in a new time. Set AM/PM by toggling the
button. When you are finished, press the Save
button.
3. Display Date/Time: The TRC-780 can display
either the Date or Time, but not both.
Select which one you would like to display.
Press the screen button next to Date or Time.
Once you are finished, press the Save button.
Erasing and Resetting
WARNING! Only use this button when instructed by Technical
Support. It resets the memory of the TRC-780 to
the factory condition. All your programming

To set the remote to its factory default setting,
press "Erase." A secondary screen opens and
requires your confirmation.
