GETTING STARTED

Overview & Battery Installation

Getting Started-Overview

This is what MASTERCONTROL™ RF20 is all about!

The RF20 is designed to operate up to 10 different

Audio/Video Components and is pre-programmed to

operate virtually all brands of TV, VCR, DVD and CD Players,

Cable Set Top Boxes, Satellite Receivers, TiVo and other

DVRs, Audio Components, Tape Decks, Multimedia PCs,

XM Radio, Ipod, X-Box, Lighting Controls and other custom

installation products. It also offers an impressive lineup of

special features designed to provide you with many

time-saving conveniences and enhance your overall

entertainment experience. However, we strongly

recommend that you fully complete all of the Basic Setup

steps before proceeding to customize your RF20 with any of

the special advanced features.

Battery Installation

The very first step is to

insert the four AAA

batteries that are included

in the package into the

battery compartment

located in the back of the

remote. Just press the tab

and lift off the cover.

Please be sure to insert the

batteries correctly as you

see in the diagram.

Remember, there is a

positive and negative end to

each battery and you can

tell by the + (positive) and

- (negative) symbols. Once

the batteries are correctly

installed, replace the cover.

Now you’re ready to start!

Activating Component Commands

GETTING STARTED

Activating Component Commands –

Simple, Easy, Intuitive

Once you’ve programmed

RF20 for your Components,

all you have to do to operate

a specific Component is

first, press the MAIN but-

ton. This will display Page 1

of the MAIN menu on the

LCD screen. Page 1 of the

MAIN menu displays five

Components. Then, simply

select the Component you

want to operate by pressing

the corresponding Screen-

Labeled Component Display

Button on the right side of

the LCD Screen. As an

example, if you press the TV

Display Button, the display

label at the top of the

screen will change from

MAIN to TV, and all the but-

tons on RF20 will work your

TV. To operate another

Component, simply press

the MAIN button again to

return to Page 1 of the

MAIN menu and select the

next Component you want

to operate.

If you don’t see the

Component you want to

control on Page 1 of the

MAIN menu, just use the

PAGE ( ) ( ) buttons on the

left side of the screen to

bring up Page 2 of the MAIN

menu which displays an

additional five Components.

Each Component is

provided with five pages of

pre-labeled command

display buttons (or space

for additional command

display buttons). Once

again, simply use the PAGE

() ( ) buttons to take you to

the next command page, or

return you to the previous

command page.

Overview &

Pre-Programmed Code Method

BASIC SETUP

STEP 1:

The pre-programmed 3-digit

codes are found in the back of

this Manual on page 45. The

codes are listed by Component

category (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD,

etc.), then by brand name. For

instance, if you want to locate

a code for a Sony TV, first

locate the TV category, and

then look for the Sony brand.

Once you have located the

3-digit code (or in some cases,

several code numbers) for the

Component that you want to

operate with your RF20, write

them ALL down on a piece of

note paper. It’s important that

you write down all the codes

because only one code is going

to work for you.

STEP 2:

Now, turn on the Component

you want to program... let’s say

your TV to start. Look up your

TV’s manufacturer setup code

from your reference list.

Pre-Programmed Code Method

Basic Setup - Overview

There are two ways to program the RF20:

• The Pre-Programmed Code Method

• The Learning Method

The Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to set up

all the buttons at once, so it’s the fastest and easiest of

the two methods. The Learning Method allows you to

transfer functions from other remotes (old or new), one

button at a time.

BASIC SETUP

Pre-Programmed Code Method

STEP 3:

Press and hold the MAIN and ENT

(Enter) buttons at the same time

for approximately 3 seconds, until

the word “SETUP” is displayed at

the top of the LCD screen. This

signals that you are now in setup

mode.

IMPORTANT:

You now have 30 seconds to perform

the next step while you are in SETUP

mode. If you don’t press a button

within 30 seconds, SETUP will disap-

pear from the screen, signaling that

you have exited setup mode and you

will need to start over.

BASIC SETUP

Pre-Programmed Code Method

STEP 6:

In this step you verify the type

of component you plan to

operate with this component

button. For example: If you plan

to operate the TV component

with the TV button, simply press

the TV display button once

again. However, if for example

you are setting up AUX to

operate a second DVD Player,

you would first need to press

AUX in Step 5, and then DVD

in Step 6.

STEP 5:

Press the Component display

button you want to program.

For example: If you want to

setup the TV Component

button, press the TV Compo-

nent display button. The display

at the bottom of the LCD screen

will flash “FROM - TABLE”.

11

Pre-Programmed Code Method

BASIC SETUP

NOTE:

If the Component fails to turn off after you have

entered all the code numbers listed for your brand,

you can scan through all the other code numbers

that are pre-loaded into the RF20 for that Component

(in this case TV) by using the UP or DOWN display

buttons on the screen. (There is a chance that your

Component was actually manufactured by another

brand.) However, most of the code tables are so

large that it is usually faster to use the Learning

Method on Page 15.

STEP 7:

Point the RF20 toward the

Component you want to

program, (in this example, TV),

and punch in the 3-digit code

that you wrote down for that

specific Component. Use the

Number buttons 0-9 on the

remote to punch in the code.

If the 3-digit code number that

you just punched in is correct,

the Component will turn off.

If the Component does not turn

off, continue entering code

numbers from your list until the

Component turns off. Some

brands have several possible

code numbers.

STEP 8:

When the Component turns off,

press the ON button to turn the

Component back on. Now you

can test the Volume and

Channel buttons (for TV), or

PLAY and STOP (for VCR and

DVD) to make sure they all

work. If any of the buttons do

not work properly, you need to

find a new correct code. For

BASIC SETUP

Learning Method

• Move to another room. Plasma

TVs, sunlight, halogen or quartz

lighting can interfere with the

learning process.

• Even though the old remote

seems to be working fine, put in

fresh alkaline batteries.

• Gradually vary the distance

between the remote controls.

Try 1”, 2” and so on, up to 4 feet.

• Try tapping the button on your

old remote instead of pressing

and holding it during the learning

process.

Some additional Information

regarding the Learning Process:

• Learned functions override

any existing pre-programmed

functions on the remote control.

• All buttons can be learned

except for the PAGE, MAIN

and LIGHT buttons.

• Learned functions are

automatically erased when

a new function is learned on

the same button.

• Learned functions are retained

even after a different Setup Code

Number is programmed into

the remote.

• To return to an original

pre-programmed function, a

learned function must be erased.

NOTE: Test all your new commands.

If any of them don’t work, try the

Learning Method again, following

these suggestions:

SETTING A COMPONENT BUTTON AS MACRO:

If you wish to set one of the Component buttons as a

macro, in STEP 3, press the Page Up button twice. The top

of the display will change to MAIN, and you can navigate to

MAIN page 1 or page 2. Press the Component button you

want to set as a Macro button. The top of the screen will

display the button label you selected. Select the

Component and Page that has a button you want in your

Macro using the MAIN, Component and Page buttons.

Simply press the button(s) with the command(s) you want

in your Macro. Then complete and save the Macro by

following STEPs 12 and 13 as outlined above.

PROGRAMMING A “PRESS & HOLD” MACRO:

Another option for Component button macros is to only

send the macro if the button is pressed and held. This is

setup by entering a delay as the first step of the macro.

The amount of delay determines how long the user must

press the button before the macro is sent. The advantage

of this option is that a normal press of the COMPONENT

button will simply switch Components without sending the

macro command.

‘Barrier -Free’ RF control

THE POWER BLASTER

The Optional PowerBlasterTM

(for ‘barrier-free’ RF control)

[Sold separately]

Of all the fabulous RF20 features, this is probably the most

exciting. When used in combination with the optional

PowerBlasterTM, the RF20 becomes an amazing remote

control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio

Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and

floors - both indoors and outdoors.

This changes everything! It enables you to control

Components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100’

away. The PowerBlasterTM picks up RF20’s radio frequency

signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so RF20

doesn’t need to be pointed directly at any Component. Just

imagine - no more pointing! Now you can close your

entertainment center doors, hide your Components, and

still control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers on

your patio. Control your Components anywhere!

One of the best things about this is -- nothing has to be

done to the RF20 for this feature to work.

Every time you press a button on the RF20, it sends both a

standard IR (Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Fre-quen-

cy) signal. If you install the PowerBlasterTM kit, it will automat-

ically receive RF20’s radio signals and translate them into the

infrared commands that control your Components.

NOTE: The RF20's radio signals will not control Components

directly. You must have a PowerBlasterTM to receive the

RF20's radio signals. Components that came with "no point-

ing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by the RF20

unless the Component can be switched to standard IR

(Infrared Control) via its internal menus. Some remote con-

trol ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by

the RF20.

42

THE POWER BLASTER

The RF20 sends radio signal to the PowerBlasterTM, which

is a radio receiver

The PowerBlasterTM converts radio signals to standard

infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front

blaster to Components in the same cabinet space.

Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the PowerBlasterTM

kit) affix to the front panels of your Components. The

flashers relay infrared commands to Components out-of-

sight of the PowerBlaster’s front blaster. The flashers plug

into PowerBlaster’s rear flasher line output jacks. Each

flasher has a 10’ cable to easily reach Components on

nearby shelves.

PRE-PROGRAMMED CODE TABLES

Pre-Programmed Code Tables

The RF20’s Pre-Programmed code library is divided into cate-

gories (TV, VCR, AUX, etc.). Each category actually includes

many types of Components. For example, the VCR category

includes TV/VCR combo units.

Within each category, the code numbers are listed in rows by

brand (Sony, Panasonic, B & K, etc.). Some brands have more

than one three digit code for you to try. Just circle the correct

row and refer to it while you setup (step by step instructions

for using Pre-Programmed codes are found on page 7).

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a “macro” button?

A “macro” is a button on the RF20 that you setup to make

a lot of things happen when you press it. For example, to

watch a DVD in most home theaters requires several

remote controls and many button presses (power up the

TV, power up the surround sound, power up the DVD

player, set the TV to the correct video input, set the

surround sound to the correct audio input and finally;

press play on the DVD player remote control).

Instead of pressing all of those buttons one at a time, the

RF20 enables you to setup one button that does all those

steps automatically with one press. For more information

on how and why you should setup macro buttons,

watch the Quick Setup DVD Program Guide or refer to

pages 26-29 in this Manual.

If the batteries run out, will I lose my settings?

No. The RF20 stores all of your settings in non-volatile

FLASH memory. You could remove the batteries for

months, replace them at your convenience, and the RF20

would still remember your settings.

Who can I call for more answers?

The Universal Remote Control Technical Support and

Customer Service staff are ready to answer any questions

you might have.
