    How the Universal Remote Control System Works
    Instead of separately turning on the TV, turning on the DVD player, changing the input, and turning on the receiver, the MSC-400 Master System Controller chains these commands together in the proper sequence in a macro, letting you perform all of these commands with a single button press on your MX-3000, MX-950, TX-1000, or MX-900 universal remote control (each sold separately).

    Starter Kit Components Expand Universal Remote Control System's Capabilities
    The MSC-400 Master System Controller comes with one RFX-250 RF receiver, and the Starter Kit includes another; up to three can be connected. Since each RFX-250 typically gives 50-100 feet of range, huge estates can be given robust, reliable RF via a network of wired RF receivers. Two video sensor cables and two voltage sensors are included in the kit, as well. When connected, they allow the MSC-400 Master System Controller to test the status of the devices it controls and issue commands accordingly. In other words, it finds out whether your TV is on or off before sending a power signal as part of a macro. The MSC-400 Master System Controller will control up to 12 devices via IR (or 6 IR and 6 RS-232). Six IR emitters are included with the MSC-400, and six sleeved IR emitters are included in the Starter Kit along with two RS232 cables (one with a female DB9 connector and one with a male DB9 connector).

    Reviews

    "I''m a General Contractor who likes doing his own AV work. You will need a log in code to get the software off of the Universal Remote website to properly install this device. The IR database is a little out of date, my Denon Reciever was not listed, but I was able to find a sim model that worked. This is not for someone who isn''t into computers and AV equipment, hire someone to program it if you aren''t that guy/gal. All that said this device paired with one 900 and two 950 remotes has helped me take my home video/audio to a whole new level. I have everything in a central rack, distributed 1080i video for my directv DVRs, whole house audio and I control it all from the remotes flawlessly, even the wife is happy. This is the poor man''s Crestron, the closest thing I''ve seen to what I consider the premier whole house control system. " - LA General - Los Angeles, CA
