Controlling Four Identical Components/Zones 

There are several considerations to take into account when you are
installing an MRF-260i to control an array of identical components:

1. The RF ID# cannot be set to Code 0, the universal setting. You

must use one of the fifteen unique IR Routing addresses.

2. Each identical component must receive IR commands ONLY

from a dedicated Flasher affixed to its front panel or a rear panel
direct IR input.  The SIGNAL of the remote should be set to RF
ONLY for each identical component. IR can still be utilized for
other devices in your system!

3.  You must note the NUMBER of the Flasher Output you have uti-

lized for EACH of the identical components.

Identical Components/Zones - Step by Step via PC

Step 1 - Create and Program a Device for Each Component/Zone 

Try to name each device with a descriptive title. At a minimum,

label them TV1, TV2, TV3 and so on.

Step 2 - Open the RF Setup Window

The RF Setup window opens after selecting RF Control from the

Program Menu or from the ProWizard’s Main Menu. The RF Setup
window is composed of a “spread sheet” of options for EACH of
your devices. 
By looking at the Signal column, you can see that the factory
