MX-500

Home Theater Master^® MX-500
LCD Viewscreen Remote Control with Joystick Operation
A truly unbelievable value!
This preprogrammed and learning remote control is designed to simplify your entertainment experience. The brightly backlit LCD viewscreen actually has 26 individual pages for operating up to 10 audio and/or video components. The component buttons are strategically placed around the LCD viewscreen and can be renamed, according to the actual components that your audio or video system may include.
Basic set-up of the remote can be fast and easy
The MX-500 boasts a built-in preprogrammed database of over 1,000 audio and video component codes, and is also fully capable of learning your home theater system's audio/video components remote control codes (up to 530 functions). For those households that require more than one remote control, the MX-500 can easily be cloned via infrared from another programmed MX-500. It's that simple!
Ease-of-use
The MX-500 is ergonomically designed and weight balanced to fit comfortably in one hand. The brightly backlit LCD viewscreen and buttons make navigation within a darkened home theater environment a breeze. To further enhance the navigation of the remote control, we have incorporated a multi-directional joystick.
Additional creature comforts
The MX-500 Punch Through feature enables control of one component while the remote is actually in another component mode. For example, you can adjust the volume of the amplifier while actually in the DVD mode, eliminating the need to toggle back-and-forth from the DVD screen to the amplifier screen.
The macro feature allows the remote control to be programmed to send out multiple commands at once. The unit has 3 dedicated macro buttons, a "Power" button and a "System Off" button that send out up to 20 commands each. 10 device buttons send out up to 15 commands each, and 50 favorite channel buttons send out up to 10 commands each. For example, the MX-500 can be programmed to turn on all the components within the home theater system at just the touch of a button!
The MX-500 also incorporates a memory back-up system designed to prevent memory loss for up to one year, should the batteries be removed.
