The MX-790 is a programmable, handheld remote can directly control all the IR devices in your entertainment system – TV, A/V components, cable, satellite boxes and more. It is ideal for use in home theaters, family rooms, kitchens or bedrooms. The brilliant 2” color LCD screen displays up to 48 devices. When used with a compatible Complete Control base station, like the MRF-350 and MRF-260, the MX-790 controls integrated A/V components through walls and cabinet doors, or even from outside. There is no need to point the remote control at the components or even be in the same room.

The MRF-260 base station receives RF (Radio Frequency) signals from any remote in URC's Complete Control line of Universal Remotes, converts the RF signal into IR (Infrared) commands and delivers the commands to the integrated A/V components. It uses Narrow Band RF to assure the continuity of the commands and minimize the effect of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) that often occurs in highly-populated markets.

Our remote is compatible with nearly all major brands and offers easy preprogramming for an effortless pairing that won’t require any codes.
