PowerBlasterTM

Congratulations!

Congratulations on purchasing Universal Remote Controls PowerBlasterTM MRF100B! This changes everything! When used in combination with PowerBlasterTM, a MasterControlTM RF series remote control (RF10, RF20, RF30) becomes an amazing remote control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and floorsboth indoors and outdoors. PowerBlasterTM sets you free! It enables you to control Components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100 away. The PowerBlasterTM picks up RF remote control radio frequency signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so the remote doesnt 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! RF Remotes are ready to go! One of the best things about this is - nothing has to be done to the remotes themselves for this feature to work. Every time you press a button on one of the MasterControlTM RF series remotes, it sends both a standard IR (Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Frequency) signal. When you install the PowerBlasterTM kit, it will automatically receive radio signals from RF series remotes and translate them into the infrared commands that control your Components. Quick Setup DVD Guide makes installation easy! The Quick Setup DVD Guide will assist you in setting up PowerBlasterTM to work with your RF series remotes by guiding you through an easy step-by-step process. This Owners Manual is designed as a companion reference source to the DVD Setup Guide, should you need to refer back to a particular section, or review certain instruction detail not covered in the DVD. However, if you are unable to watch the DVD Guide for some reason, everything you need to know about setting up PowerBlasterTM is contained in this Manual.
NOTE: PowerBlasterTM is only compatible with Universal Remote Controls MasterControlTM RF series remote controls (RF10, RF20, RF30). RF series remote control radio signals will not control Components directly.You must have a PowerBlasterTM to receive the RF remote radio signals. Also, Components that came with "no pointing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by an RF series remote unless the Component can be switched to standard IR (Infrared Control) via its internal menus. Some remote control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by an RF series remote.

Heres How PowerBlaster Works:
1. RF series remote controls (RF10, RF20, RF30) send RF (Radio Frequency) signals to PowerBlaster, which is an RF receiver. 2. PowerBlaster converts RF signals to IR (Infrared) commands and sends them out to components in the same cabinet space via the built-in front blaster.

HOW IT WORKS

3. Self-adhesive flashers (included in the PowerBlaster kit) affix to the front panels of your components. The flashers relay commands to components out of sight of PowerBlasters front blaster. The flashers plug in to PowerBlasters rear flasher line output jacks. Each flasher has a 10 cable to easily reach components on nearby shelves.

Parts Guide

Quantity 6 Description PowerBlaster Receiver with integrated antenna Mounting Plate for wall mounting PowerBlaster Screws for wall mounting the mounting plate 9V-300mA Power Supply Flashers with 10 foot plug-in cables.

The Mounting Plate

Red Power LED lights to indicate when PowerBlaster is plugged into an active AC outlet.
Red Status LED lights when PowerBlaster receives an RF signal from an RF series remote control.

PARTS GUIDE

The Mounting Plate guides enable PowerBlasters matching guide to slide and snap into place for mounting on the wall.
Front blaster sends Infrared commands to all A/V components in the same cabinet space.
Using the four enclosed screws, you can choose to fix the mounting plate to a wall or the back of your component cabinet.

Integrated antenna swings in any direction to optimize RF reception and range.
Program and Test Remote Control First
Dont connect power to PowerBlaster until you have programmed and tested the remote control line of sight. PowerBlaster can interfere with testing and programming.

STEP 1:

Included 9V power supply plugs into the MRF-100 power connector.
Turn ON all of your components. Audio /Video components sometimes create RF interference. Therefore, perform all testing with all of your components powered ON (as they will be when you operate the system). as the button is released. If there is any flickering, move PowerBlaster farther away from the A/V components.

STEP 4:

Orient the Antenna for Optimum Range. If you need to extend the range of the remote, try adjusting the angle of PowerBlasters receiving antenna via its pivoting ball mount.

PROGRAMMING

SETP 2:
Six flasher jacks on the rear of PowerBlaster connect flashers for control of A/V components out-of-sight of the front blaster.
Connect the Power Supply. Connect the 9V power supply to an active UNSWITCHED AC outlet. PowerBlaster must always be powered up. The red Power LED should light up.

STEP 5:

Mount PowerBlaster. PowerBlaster may be concealed and mounted to the rear wall or back of the system cabinet. The mounting plate slides apart from the receiver, mounts to the wall, then the receiver can slide back into place.

STEP 3:

Six plug-in flashers are supplied with 10 foot cables and six extra self-adhesive pads (in case a flasher has to be repositioned).
Test Placement of PowerBlaster. PowerBlaster should be placed so that the STATUS LED only lights up when a button is pressed on an RF series remote control. It should go out as soon

GETTING STARTED
Activating Component Commands
Activating Component Commands Simple, Easy, Intuitive
Once youve programmed RF20 for your Components, all you have to do to operate a specific Component is first, press the MAIN button. 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 ScreenLabeled 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 buttons 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 dont 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.
LIGHT BUTTON TV DEVICE BUTTON MAIN BUTTON

Light Button

The fully backlit keypad makes the RF20 easy to use in the dark or dim lighting conditions. Simply press the LIGHT button to backlight all the keypad buttons and LCD screen. To turn off the backlight, press the LIGHT button again, or just wait ten seconds (the backlight automatically shuts itself off). Lights out! Try it out!
Overview & 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 its 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.
Pre-Programmed Code Method

STEP 1:

The pre-programmed 3-digit codes are found in the back of this Manual on page 44. 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. Its 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. lets say your TV to start. Look up your TVs manufacturer setup code from your reference list.

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 dont press a button within 30 seconds, SETUP will disappear from the screen, signaling that you have exited setup mode and you will need to start over.

BASIC SETUP

MAIN BUTTON ENTER BUTTON

STEP 4:

Press the P-PRO display button to select the Pre-Programmed Method. The screen will then display the five Components from Page 1 of the MAIN menu. To display Page 2 of the MAIN menu that lists an additional five Components, simply press the PAGE ( ) ( ) buttons.

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 Component display button. The display at the bottom of the LCD screen will flash FROM - TABLE.

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.

FIRST FIVE DEVICE NAMES

P-PRO BUTTON
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.
Pre-Programmed Code Methoda

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:

Customizing Your RF20 with Special Advanced Features
After youve finished all your basic setup, you can choose to make operation easier by customizing the RF20 just the way you want, using the Special Advanced Setup Features described in this section.
Customizing the LCD Screen
You can easily edit or change the name of any of the display buttons (including Favorite Channels) on the LCD screen by following these steps:

Advanced Macro Options:

SETTING UP A POWER OFF MACRO: Simply follow the same steps as outlined above, except press the OFF button in place of the ON 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.
SimpleSound Setup & Other Punch Throughs
SimpleSound is a dynamic feature that gives you total volume control over all the Components in your system, even those without their own built-in volume control, such as TiVo, DVD and VCR. saving you the hassle and inconvenience of constantly needing to switch between Component modes on the remote. With SimpleSound, you can set the RF20s volume control buttons to always control the sound in your system, even when youre in VCR or DVD mode, without switching back to AUDIO or TV. Even more exciting, SimpleSound is what is called a Punch Through feature and is not limited strictly to volume control. Click and enjoy! STEP 1:
In a basic home entertainment system, the sound may come from your TV. In a more advanced system, the sound may come from your audio Component such as a Surround Sound Receiver or Home Theatre system.

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.
