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.

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:

MacroPower™ Setup
MacroPower™ is a unique feature that enables you to turn
all of your Components ON or OFF, at the same time, simply
with the press of one button.
We call that a “Macro”. What would normally take multiple
remotes and button pushes, the RF20 can accomplish with
the press of one button. In addition to the Power ON or OFF
buttons, any of the Display buttons (on any Component or
Page) can be set to be Macro buttons as well. Feel the
power!
To setup a Power ON macro button that will turn ON several
components at the same time (for example, TV, VCR and
CABLE), follow these easy steps:
IMPORTANT: You now have 30 seconds to
perform the next step while you are in
SETUP mode. If you don’t press a button

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.

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
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.
