Essential Info
For maximum control of your audio/video components from anywhere in your home, you need a powerful remote. The MX-850 Orion IR/RF PC-Programmable Remote will control up to 20 different devices from up to 100 feet away, even through walls and doors! By sending radio-frequency signals to the included RF expander unit, the Orion can manage components without line-of-sight access. This way, you can keep unsightly stacks of components in cabinets or in another room.

More Info

The Orion is custom-programmable via PC software; the software can also be used on a Mac. Each of the components you want to control can be programmed with up to four pages of LCD screens with up to 260 custom commands per component. Program 50 of your favorite channels, and you'll be able to select via channel name, rather than trying to remember the number each time. Programming is simple: the Programming Wizard will walk you through the customization process step by step.
The combination of the Orion with its companion MRF-250 base station will enable you to place your audio/video components out of sight behind closed doors and/or in another room of your house. The Orion sends radio signals to this RF expander unit through walls and closed doors (up to 100 feet away, indoors or outdoors). The MRF-250 then converts your commands to the infrared signals that control your A/V components. Add other RF Expanders to control components in other rooms of your house.
Using the Orion is easy. Select an activity or device, and the remote control will begin a macro that establishes the proper power and issues all necessary commands to set up the sound and picture for your system for that device.
The powerful memory of the Orion offers up to 912 potential macro buttons. Each of these macros can play back recorded sequences of commands that completely automate a complex system with one touch. Each macro can record and play back up to 190 steps with time delays between steps when desired. For example: a single touch to the ON button could turn on the TV, the surround sound system, and the satellite receiver, then set the TV to the correct video input, the surround system to the right audio settings, and finish by selecting your favorite satellite TV channel.
The Orion is backlit for easy viewing in low-light environments, and its smart memory backup system retains programmed memory for up to 10 years, even if the batteries die. If you don't need the RF capabilities, the Orion is also available separately from the RF expander.
You can even use the Orion to execute X10 commands! Aim your Orion at the Infrared X10 Command Console (sold separately), and it will translate your commands to turn on lights, close drapes or turn up the heat. X10 plug-in modules are required for this feature and are sold separately.
