Custom Programming of a complex home theater and/or a multi-room
system is one of the most challenging tasks within an audio/video instal-
lation. 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 customize a remote control for true automated

MX-450 OWNERS MANUAL
Congratulations!
You’ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering,
the Complete Control MX-450. The MX-450 achieves a magnificent combina-
tion of power and flexibility, simplifying and automating operation of even the
most complex system.
User Configurable Screen and Button Lighting
A built in pick up sensor can be set to light the screen and/or the buttons
automatically. Additionally, a dedicated LIGHT button enables the user to
backlight the buttons if the pick up sensor is turned off.
Fast Professional Setup
The MX-450 sets up quickly via on screen setup. Your installer simply
configures the remote for you using the MX-450 and his/her intimate
knowledge of how your system is configured and operated to completely
automate all operation and replace all of your remote controls with the
MX-450.
Backlit Color LCD Screen Buttons
When you pick up the MX-450, it automatically lights up the color LCD
screen which labels the six buttons to either side of the screeen. 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, while if you select Watch DVD, the buttons
will control the DVD.
LIGHT Button
Press the Light button on the
side of the MX-450 to back-
light all of the buttons.

MX-450 OWNERS MANUAL
Optional RF “No Rules” Operation
In combination with a Complete Control RF Base Station, the MX-450 can
control your system without being in line-of-sight of the equipment.
To preserve good operation always utilize a Narrow Band RF Base Station
with RF Addressing. RF Addressing gives you the ability to control equip-
ment locations throughout your home, even if they are concealed in other
rooms or are behind closed doors.
4. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to the Infrared
sensors on the front panels of your compo-
nents. The Flashers relay commands to com-
ponents out of sight of the MRF-350’s Front
Blaster. The flashers plug in to the MRF-350’s
rear flasher line outputs via their 10 foot
cables. Uniquely, the MRF-350 can also con-
nect to components with rear panel IR Inputs
via its adjustable IR Line Outputs.
3. The MRF-350’s built-in Front Blaster sends commands to
components in the same cabinet space as the MRF-350.
1. The MX-450 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 reception.

Programming the MX-450
The MX-450 is programmed via on screen setup menus. Simply press and
hold the MAIN button for 3 seconds to view the menus.
However, to fully automate an audio/video system the programmer must
have a detailed knowledge of each component and how the system is
connected and operated. We highly recommend that you use a profes-
sional audio/video installer to program your MX-450 so you will be able
to enjoy all the benefits of the MX-450.

MX-450 OWNERS MANUAL
Selecting a New “Activity”
The MX-450’s MAIN button displays the activities you can control with
your MX-450. When you want to watch something else (a DVD movie, a
videotape or an HDTV broadcast), simply press the MAIN button and
select the new activity.
Your installer will have programmed the button you pressed to totally con-
figure your system to watch or listen to whatever you selected. Now, the
screen will change, and all of the LCD buttons will be reconfigured to
give you full control of your system while watching or listening to your
selection!
Press either of the PAGE buttons to see any other available choices.
When you press the MAIN
button, you can see the most
frequently used activities you
have for listening in your sys-
tem.
PAGE DISPLAY
At the bottom of the LCD screen, the
page display informs you if there are
other pages of buttons available.

MX-450 OWNERS MANUAL
Using the MX-450 to Control an “Activity”
Once you’ve selected a new activity, the MX-450 displays the title of the
activity at the top of the screen. Below the title, the LCD displays the cus-
tomized names of any special features you need for the activity. All the
hard buttons of the MX-450 have now changed to functions optimized for
this activity.
The Title displays
what activity you
can control.
The Volume and
Mute buttons always
control the sound
regardless of what
screen is displayed.
Press either of the
PAGE buttons to
see any other avail-
able choices.
The transport buttons
(Play, Stop, Skip-, Skip+,
FF, REW and Pause)
operate when the select-
ed activity requires them
(for example, if you
watch CABLETV with a
TiVo type of DVR, these
buttons will control the
built-in DVR, while if
you are watching a
DVD, these buttons will
control the DVD player).
The 4 way cursor
buttons enable you
to navigate on
screen guides and
menus with ease.
The Channel and
Previous Channel
buttons will change
channels when you
have selected an
activity like Watch
CABLETV or
Watch SAT TV .
The Number keypad
will enter numbers
for the activity you’ve
selected. Thus, for
watching Cable TV,
you use the number
keypad to enter chan-
nel numbers, while
when listening to CD,
the number keypad
enters track numbers.
The LCD button
labels describe
special features
for this activity.
