Vaux Electronics Marc Plus Instructions Manual - page 4
Introduction
Thank you for selecting the MARC+ Remote Control System. It has
been designed for the utmost in convenience and reliability. Read
this owner's manual carefully to become familiar with the product
and how it works. The manual explains in simple steps how to
install, use, and care for your MARC+ System.
The MARC+ Remote Control System allows you to control virtually
any device from any room in your house, even outside — without
wiring your home!
With the MARC+ System, you can operate up to eight infrared-
controlled Audio/Video components, such as TVs, VCRs, and
stereos, with one remote control. Additionally, the MARC+ System
allows you to turn on/off appliances and lights (and dim also), all
at the touch of a button.
From the MARC+ Remote Control, you can operate up to 100 X-
10® Powerhouse™-connected lights and appliances. The X-10
modules are easy to install — just plug them into standard power
outlets.
The MARC+ System uses a small, hand-held Remote Control which
broadcasts radio frequency (RF) signals to the MARC+ Receiver.
Depending on the button you press, the MARC+ Receiver will take
one of the following actions:
• Replay “learned” infrared signals to control your audio/video
equipment,
• Send commands over the power lines to control your X-10
lighting and appliance devices, or
• Play a MACRO command to perform a sequence up to 10-steps.
• The “Auto-Source-Selection” feature make system operation
easy.
As with any radio control system, the operating range is limited;
this means that the MARC+ Remote Control can function only a
certain distance away from the MARC+ Receiver. Under typical
conditions, the MARC+ System will operate throughout an average
home and immediately outside it.
