## Description

From the Manufacturer Guaranteed to control all your components This is what the Mastercontrol RF20 is all about: the RF20 is designed to operate up to 10 different AV components and is pre-programmed to operate virtually all brands of TV, VCR, DVD and CD players, cable set top boxes, satellite receivers, TiVo and other DVRs, audio components, tape decks, multimedia PCs, satellite radio, iPod, Xbox, lighting controls and other custom installation products. It also offers an impressive lineup of special features designed to provide you with many time-saving conveniences and enhance your overall entertainment experience.Pre-Programmed CodesThe RF20 is guaranteed to control all your components because of the extensive library of thousands of AV component codes pre-programmed into the remote.Learning CapabilityThe RF20 can actually "learn" commands from other remote controls (old or new), one button at a time, so it will always be up-to-date and never become obsolete. The RF20 is the last remote you'll ever need.MacroPower Single-Button ControlMacroPower is a unique feature that enables you to turn all of your components ON or OFF at the same time, simply with the press of one button. What would normally take multiple remotes and button pushes, the RF20 can accomplish with the press of one button. In addition to the Power ON or OFF buttons, any of the Component buttons can be set to be "macro" buttons.SimpleSound Total Volume ControlSimpleSound is a dynamic feature that gives you total volume control over all the components in your system, even those without their own built-in volume control such as TiVo, DVD and VCR, thus saving you the hassle and inconvenience of constantly needing to switch between Component modes on the remote. With SimpleSound you can set the RF20's volume control buttons to always control the sound in your system, even when you're in VCR or DVD mode, without switching back to AUDIO or TV. Even more exciting, SimpleSound has what is called a 'Punch Through' feature and is not limited strictly to volume control. PowerBlaster: An amazing remote control powerhouse PowerBlaster Sets You FreeWhen used in combination with PowerBlaster, a MasterControl RF series remote control (RF10 and RF20) becomes an amazing remote control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and floors--both indoors and outdoors. It enables you to control components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100' away. The PowerBlaster picks up RF remote control radio frequency signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so the remote doesn't need to be pointed directly at any component. Just imagine--no more pointing. Now you can close your entertainment center doors, hide your components, and still control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers on your patio. Control your components anywhere. Control your components through RF (Radio Frequency) and PowerBlaster RF Remotes are Ready to GoOne of the best things about this is--nothing has to be done to the remotes themselves for this feature to work. Every time you press a button on one of the MasterControl RF series remotes, it sends both a standard IR (Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Frequency) signal. When you install the PowerBlaster kit, it will automatically receive radio signals from RF series remotes and translate them into the infrared commands that control your components.Quick Setup DVD Guide Makes Installation EasyThe Quick Setup DVD Guide will assist you in setting up PowerBlaster to work with your RF series remotes by guiding you through an easy step-by-step process. This Owner 's Manual is designed as a companion reference source to the DVD Setup Guide, should you need to refer back to a particular section, or review certain instruction detail not covered in the DVD. However, if you are unable to watch the DVD Guide for some reason, everything you need to know about setting up PowerBlaster is contained in the included manual. Which URC Remote is Right for You?

Review: Excellent remote--especially for those who prefer to design their own configuration - Well designed, robust, and works like a charm. This remote will readily implement an intuitive configuration for your unique home theater setup, if you are willing to take the time to design it. It does come with ready-labelled presets on the configurable keys, and will populate a standardized configuration with the appropriate commands, once you put in the right code for your device from the supplied table. But, the real power of the RF20 is the ability to configure it in a way that is best for you and your home theater system. Its easy (and rather fun) to program--and the remote learning feature is fast to implement--but (as others have pointed out), it does take time to do, especially if you go the fully customized route. To address some quirks: 1. Others have correctly pointed out that there is an extra step needed to manually erase a button prior to reassigning it. The RF20 has a flash (non-volatile) memory; this step may be to help preserve it (just as it's better to reformat the SD card in your camera rather than just writing over the existing pictures). 2. The RF20 has a feature called "punch through" that allows you to dedicate a command to one home theater device (e.g., amplifier, cable box, TV, et.al.) regardless of which device the RF20 is currently set to control. For example, if your sound source is your amplifier, "punch through" will send that amplifier's volume commands only, regardless of which device mode the RF20 is in. This way, you can control the amplifier volume and the cable box channel while on the same screen of the RF20. WARNING: the RF20 has four sets of "punch through" commands--VOL, CH, PLAY, VOD--and each commandeers a collection of buttons (e.g., VOL= volume up/down and mute). The manual does not list all of the commandeered buttons for a given "punch through". Once you assign a "punch through" set, the subordinate buttons will no longer function as originally assigned, and manually erasing and reassigning them will not restore their function. I ran into this problem by trying to creatively assign a VOD "punch through" without knowing all of the buttons controlled by it. If this happens, you can restore functionality by reassigning the "punch through" for a piece of equipment back to itself (don't worry: the manual explains how to accomplish all of this). 3. The power-on macro can be customized so that you can turn on everything at once OR turn on individual devices, with a feature called "press and hold". When setting up the macro, you program a delay (as long as you like, in 0.5 second increments). This way, if you just press and release the 'on' button, only the current device will be turned on; but pressing and holding down the 'on' button for the assigned duration (e.g., 1 second) will activate the macro and turn on all of the assigned devices. 4. If your equipment is in enclosed cabinets or widely spread out on either side of your viewing screen, the Powerblaster is most worthwhile, and effectively distributes the commands to all devices without having to point the RF20. To be clear: the RF signal from the RF20 is ONLY used to convey the command non-directionally to the Powerblaster base unit. The base unit then reconverts it to an IR signal and relays it by wire to individual IR emitters, which are placed next to the IR receivers of the DVD player, cable box, or what-have-you. The RF20 is NOT designed to directly control devices which use RF remotes (e.g., ceiling fans). Buying the package saves you ~$12 over buying the RF20 and Powerblaster separately. 5. Finally (and the manual does not address this), you can assign individual commands to hard buttons (info, guide, menu, et.al.) while on the home ("MAIN") screen, when the RF20 is not set to mimic any one remote. You can use this feature to assign frequently needed commands without having to go back to that particular profile first. For example, I set the "guide" button to bring up the input screen on the TV, to make it easy to choose DVD, cable, etc. for viewing. Also, the "punch through" feature used to control volume did not include the volume and mute controls while the RF20 was on the home "MAIN" screen. Individually assigning them to the amplifier (using the "learning" feature) took care of this. In summary: the RF20 is a well-built hard button remote that, once configured, is easy to use. Configuring it is straightforward; although it does take time, you'll likely be pleased with the result.
Review: Great! But leave plenty of time for programming. - This really is a great remote- very functional and inexpensive compared to others especially when factoring in the RF power blaster. Once it is programmed, a flash memory retains the programming- so if you take out the batteries and keep it in a box for several months you need not go through the programming process again. As explained below, this is a very good thing. This remote handles everything I have- cable box/DVR, Pioneer home theater receiver, TV connected to the internet through an ethernet port, blu-ray/VCR (yes- they do make one unit that plays both!). The manual contains codes for each of the components. Entering the right code programs the basic features of each into the remote - once you find the right code. For many manufacturers, the manual contains numerous codes for each device; inputting each one in turn to see which works takes time. That done, you'll probably want to use the "learning" function of the remote to program some of the few buttons that don't program automatically, which is easy, but you'll go through the process for each button and for each component. The one-button on/off macros work well and are easy to program - but may require some tweaking - if you have compenents that do some automatic switching, (e.g. my blu-rau player will automatically switch the receiver to the proper input) you may have to reprogram either the remote or the components to get them synced up properly. In addition, unlike the Harmony remotes, programming the remote from the manfacturer codes does nothing to sync the components to each other - for example, the main menu shows a button for the cable box, but pressing that only changes the remote's functions to control the cable box - if you need to switch your receiver to the cable box input, you have to program a macro to do that as well. With multiple components, you need to program a macro for each one - which takes more time. The "punch through" function is a nice addition - the unit allows you to program certain functions -volume for example -that will remain synced to a button whether the receiver is set to control the tv or the cable box. Once set up, this saves you switching back and forth between settings. Setting it up requires going to each component and entering the macro - which takes more time. Then if you want to set up macros to do more complex things, say switch to an internet radio station that is several menus down on the tv - well, clear your calendar for an hour to set that up through trial and error. I spent the better part of a day - perhaps 5 hours altogether - programming the unit. If your needs are more than basic - and really, there's no point buying this remote over cheaper ones if they are - programming will take at least an hour and a half. The thing to remember is that, unlike the Harmony system, this remote requires you to do all the programming yourself. The good news is that, if you are willing to spend the time, you can program this remote to do just about anything. For example, you can set up a macro that will, with the press of one button, navigate through setting your receiver to play on your outside speakers, then automatcally tune your TV to play your Pandora "modern blues" station and turn up the volume. You can also rename the screen name of the button you program for this to "blues" or whatever else you want. And with the RF function, the button will work from your patio. Because of this, the remote is really handy once programmed. The manual says that it will accept macros up to several hundred steps long (though I shudder to think how long THAT would take to program). You can program it to navigate through menus as well as incorporate pauses into a macro - to accomdate a component taking several seconds to load content from the internet, for example - and literally to do anything that you can do with any of your components' remotes all automatically. This can really be a time-saver once the programming is done. The included "power blaster" RF unit also works well. As others noted, I needed only the main unit installed inside my cabinet to have all the compenents respond properly, even though there appeared to be no sight lines between that unit and some components. And the signal goes travels the exterior stucco walls of my house. One minor issue- those looking for something sleek to match cool looking components may not be able to overlook the clunkiness of the remote and its lack of a color screen. A great buy -just be ready to spend the necessary time to program it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: compatibility with comcast x1?**
A: We are ex-Comcast subscribers, just prior to x1.  This system synced up beautifully with Comcast, with near flawless compatibility. I would assume this would function for x1 as well.  I actually miss the compatibility with Comcast, we are Dish customers now for a deal price if you will, but the remote lacks ideal compatibility. It was hard to sync it up with the dish as there was no pre-programmed setup like there was for Comcast xfinity.  I hope this helps.

**Q: Is it compatible with Directv Genie?**
A: No

**Q: Will this work for Comcast X1 platform that uses an RF remote? The X1 box uses RF but my TV and and Home Theater use IR so will this work for both?**
A: I could not get the RFS200 remote (purchased it about 1 year ago) to work with the X1 STB.  I tried learning from the X1 remote numerous times and it always reported success.  However, the X1 STB would not respond consistently to the remote.  I believe it has something to do with the number of "repeats" the STB is expecting. Occasionally the STB would respond correctly, but most of the time it did not.  Picked up a Harmony 650 remote (IR only) and it worked fine.  Too bad, since I really prefer the RFS200 package.

**Q: Does this track what devices are on and off? For example, does it know how to switch from TV to DVD by turning on and off the right devices like a Harmony does?**
A: You would have to program it with a macro that has the exact steps necessary for the various devices.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great remote. Here's some tips...
*by M***3 on February 26, 2013*

I’ve been using this remote for about 6 weeks now. The main reason I got it was because my TV and components are on adjacent walls, and there is not always a direct line of sight to the components. My original plan was to get an IR repeater and just use all my OE remotes, but a friend suggested this instead. It cost about $30 more than the repeater I was looking at, but well worth it. I programmed / taught this remote, and put all the other remotes in a drawer. This is the only remote I need now. The RF capability allows me to use the remote from anywhere in the house and so far has worked without any problems. The range of both the remote itself and the RF blaster are very impressive. Much better than the original remotes. For example, I have the RF blaster in the component cabinet with a glass door. But the blaster still controls my TV on the adjacent wall. After playing around with this remote for a bit, here’s the tips I’d suggest… 1) Use pre-programming first…but try SEVERAL of the codes. Using the pre-program method will take care of most of the basics (volume, numbers, etc…). But don’t just stick with the first code that “works” for your component. Try them all, and then look at all the pages in the LCD. I found a few nice functions that the OE remotes did not have. For my Samsung TV, the RF20 had commands for discrete on/off, and shortcuts to functions (…sleep timer, PIP) that the OE remote did not have. The discrete on/off was key to the macros that I programmed. It also had some discrete input selections for my TV which were also important to the macros. From that point, use the learning function to teach the RF20 anything that was missed from the OE remote. And use the buttons where you can in place of the LCD. 2) Write it out first. I found it helpful to map out where I wanted the functions of the OE remote to be on the RF20…especially for the LCD. You can group functions on the LCD in a way that is logical to you, put the most used functions on Pg 1, etc... I also found it helpful to have macros written out first. That way if something doesn’t work as intended and you need to make a tweak (like add a longer pause), it’s very easy to see what you did and make the corrections very quickly. 3) Use “Press-and-Hold” macros. I have all my component buttons also set up with press and hold macros. If I want to watch cable TV, I press and hold the “Cable” component button which runs a macro that turns on the components I need, turns off the components I don’t, and sets the TV to the right input. I also have a press and hold macro set up to the Off button that turns off all the components in my system (but I’m still able to turn Off components discretely if I need to by switching to that component and simply pressing the Off button). 4) If you have discrete on/off for all of your components, be sure to include ALL components in your power macros. Program the macro to turn On what you need…but be sure to send the signal to turn Off what you don’t (if the component is already off…it won’t do anything). Doing the macros this way will allow you to easily “switch” between your components. So if I’m watching cable, and then want to watch a DVD, I press and hold the DVD component button which turns on the player and audio receiver, sets the TV to the right input, but also turns off the cable box (and any other component that might be on). Again, this only works if you have discrete on/off functions. Some reviewers have complained that this remote is difficult to program. I did not find it to be a problem at all. Just need to follow the directions. Also the remote I got was not dark gray as shown in the picture. Mine is silver, and the cursor button (the round ring) looks like chrome plating. I actually like it better than what's shown in the picture.
