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.

hard buttons should behave.

button is pressed the button back light will automati-
cally turn On.

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

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.

or Year, then use the numeric keypad to enter
in the new date information. When you are

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.

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.
