2 Getting Started Congratulations! You’ve purchased one of the most advanced and easy to setup control sys- tems available. The Osiris’s built-in library includes thousands of different brands and models of remote controls. In most systems, all you have to do to setup the Osiris is enter which brands and models you own. If you own a component t[...]

4 The Osiris Selecting a New DEVICE Changes All Button Commands Instantly The Osiris can operate ten different devices even though it is only one remote control. Let’s try it now! Press the MAIN button, then press the TV DEVICE button. The top of the screen changes from MAIN to TV. Now all of the buttons change their function to operate a TV. Pre[...]

5 Basic Setup You can start setting up your Osiris using either the Pre-Programmed Method or the Learning Method. However, all the buttons of the Osiris are setup at once with the Pre-Programmed Method, so it is usually faster than the one-button-at-a-time Learning Method. Pre-Programmed Method Power on the A/V component you wish to setup, so that [...]

6 Press the P-PRO button to select the Pre-Programmed Method. The display changes so that you can select which Device button to setup. In this step you choose the name of the device you’d like to setup. Use the cursor UP or DOWN buttons to change the flashing name. When it is correct, press the SELECT button. For Example: I wanted to setup the TV[...]

7 In this step you verify the type of component you plan to operate with this device button. If the flashing name is correct, press SELECT. If the name flashing in the display is incorrect (for example, you are setting up AUX to operate a Laser Disc Player), use the UP and DOWN buttons to change the flashing name to the correct type of component. N[...]

8 Note: If a component fails to turn off after you have entered all of the code numbers listed for your brand, you can scan through the other brands in the table using the UP and DOWN buttons to change the code number displayed, then tapping either the Power On or Power Off buttons to see if the compo- nent powers on or off (there is a chance that [...]

9 Repeat steps one through nine for each of your devices. If you are missing any commands, use the learning method, described next Learning Method The Osiris can learn commands from your old remote controls one-but- ton-at-a-time by following these simple steps: Line-up the Osiris with your old remote control, head-to-head, one or two inches apart.[...]

The display will show a list of the first five devices. Select the device you would like to teach commands to by pressing the Device button. Now, press any button you want to teach a command to. Note: If you don’t see the display button you would like to teach, use the PAGE buttons. The only buttons you can’t teach are the PAGE and MAIN but- to[...]

11 Press and hold the button you want on your old remote control until the display changes to either “GOOD” or “FAILED”. If the “GOOD” label appears on top of the display, you were successful. Now, press the next button you wish to teach. Keep repeating steps 6 through 7 until you have learned all the buttons you want. If the “FAILED?[...]

V olume Control Punch Through In most home entertainment systems, the sound volume is only con- trolled by one device. In some systems, it is the TV speakers that make the sound, so you would use the TV device on the Osiris to raise and lower the volume. In another system, it might be a surround sound receiver and speakers that control the sound, s[...]

13 Press the device button for the device that doesn’t have volume control commands yet (i.e.,DVD). This is the device you are going to PUNCH TO for the volume and mute commands. Note: If you wish to PUNCH to the MAIN device, press the POWER OFF button at this time. The bottom of the display will then flash “PUNCH FROM”. Now you select the de[...]

14 Advanced Operation Setting Backlight Options You can adjust the amount of time that the Osiris backlight stays on by entering the SETUP mode and proceeding to page two (using the PAGE UP button), then pressing the LIGHT button on the display (not the Backlight button). Then enter the amount of time you would like the light to stay on using the n[...]

15 Adjusting Contrast You can make the text darker by pressing both the MAIN and cursor UP buttons at the same time. To make the text appear lighter, press both the MAIN and cursor DOWN buttons at the same time. T ransmitting (Busy Signal) Icon When a command is being transmitted, an icon will appear in the top right corner of the display. It is a [...]

16 Advanced Setup After you’ve finished all your basic setup, you can choose to make opera- tion easier by customizing the Osiris just the way you want, using the Advanced Setup features described in this section. Editing Button Labels You can change the name of any of the display buttons (including Favorite Channels) by following these steps: Pr[...]

17 Press the button you wish to edit. The first character of your button label blinks. 5 Blinking Character EDIT flashes at the bottom of the screen. Universal Remote Control, Inc.

18 When you are finished editing the button, press the button you edited and “SAVED” will flash at the bottom of the display. To change any other button labels on the same device, press the next button, then repeat steps 6-8. If you wish to edit a button on another device, press the MAIN button once, then repeat Steps 4-8. Once you’ve finishe[...]

19 Macro Button Setup Imagine turning on your TV, your DVD player and your surround sound receiver by pressing a single button on your Osiris! What would nor- mally take three remotes and three button pushes, the Osiris can accomplish with the press of one button. We call that a “Macro”. Any of the Display buttons, the Power On or the Power Off[...]

20 Navigate to the Device and Page that has a button you want in your macro using the MAIN, DEVICE and PAGE buttons. Then press the button with the command you want. Whenever a button is pressed, another Macro step is counted and displayed at the bottom of the screen. Don’t worry about the number of steps. Each macro button can store up to 190 st[...]

21 Favorite Channel Setup Imagine surfing all your favorite channels, without ever typing in a channel number. By simply setting up each of the favorite channel but- tons, you can make TV, cable or satellite operation fun and easy. To setup a Favorite Channel button, follow these steps: Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for[...]

22 Note: If a number is repeated when setting the channel (for example,channel “33” or “522”) it is usually best to set a half second delay in between the identical numbers by pressing the PAUSE button. Each press of the PAUSE button increases the delay by a half second. Press the LIGHT button after you enter the channel number. A new scree[...]

23 Hiding and Adding Pages Each of your Osiris Devices actually contains eight pages. However, only five pages are visible in the factory default setting. Three pages are hid- den in each device. If you wish to use the hidden pages, you can ADD them. If you don’t want to use some of the existing pages, you can HIDE them. You can add or hide pag e[...]

24 Navigate to any page, using the MAIN, DEVICE, FAV, and PAGE but- tons. When you select a page, the top of the screen indicates whether you want to “ADD?” or “HIDE?” the page dis- played. When you would like to change a page’s visibility, press the LIGHT button. You can continue to ADD or HIDE pages on other devices by repeat- ing Steps[...]

25 Erasing You can erase an individual button with a learned command, a macro or a favorite channel. You can erase an entire Device’s learned com- mand or macro buttons. You can also erase ALL your learned com- mands on all devices or all your macros or favorite channels every- where. If you really want a fresh start, it is possible to reset ever[...]

26 Erasing the Entire Osiris To erase EVERYTHING, press and hold both the MAIN and the STOP buttons for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, the RESET screen appears. Press the SURE button to erase all of your settings and return to the fac- tory default setup. Cloning One Osiris to Another If you own two or more Osiris, you can copy and transfer all the [...]

27 Recalling Pre-Programmed Settings If you didn’t write down the code numbers you setup your Osiris with, you can recall them via this simple process: Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Osiris will time out automatically. Go to page two of the SETUP[...]

28 Utilizing Optional RF Base Stations You can use the Osiris as you would your other remote controls. It trans- mits very powerful line-of-sight output using infrared light commands (invisible to the naked eye). When you point the Osiris at the components, expect the range to be between 30 and 50 feet. When the remote is not pointed in the general[...]

29 Universal Remote Control, Inc. The RF Base Station converts radio signals to stan- dard infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front blaster to components in the same cabinet space. The Osiris sends radio signal to the MRF-100, MRF-250 or the MRF-300 RF Base Stations. Self-adhesive “flashers” (included with the MRF-250 or the MR[...]

30 RF Settings Overview The Osiris is factory set to work out of the box with an MRF-100 base sta- tion, which is not addressable. The only setting that affects operation with an MRF-100 is the RF/IR setting (to operate, the Osiris must be set to IR/RF or RF- it will not operate the MRF-100 in IR mode). The Osiris will operate with an MRF-250 or MR[...]

31 Press the RF button. The RF Settings Menu appears. See the notes on the following pages for more info on each option. Make your selection by press- ing the button you want: After you’ve made a new setting and SAVED your change, use the EXIT button to return to the RF settings menu to change any other setting. Once you are finished all settings[...]

32 From the RF Settings Menu, select IR/RF. Decide whether you are changing the Signal for all devices or just one of the devices of the Osiris. Select ALL to change the signal settings to ALL devices in the Osiris. Then, go to Step 4. Select DEVIC to change the signal settings to just one of the devices in the Osiris. Then, go to Step 3.

33 When you are installing a system within 100 feet of another equipment location in the same home OR near a home, condo, yacht or motor home that might potentially have an RF remote control of any kind, it is recommended that you use an addressable base station and set the address as described here. You can operate up to 15 different equipment loc[...]

Select the new setting by pressing the desired button, then press SAVE to save your new setting and return to the RF settings menu. EMITT - Setting IR Emitter Outputs The MRF-250 and MRF-300 Base Stations enable you to route or steer the IR commands from any Device to any or all of the IR Line Outputs. This allows you to control identical devices u[...]

The display changes to a list of the names of your devices. If you have two pages of devices, pressing either of the page buttons will display the other page. Select the device you would like to change the Emitter settings, then go to Step 4. Select the new setting by pressing the desired button, then press SAVE to save your new setting and return [...]

From the RF Settings Menu, select BLAST. Decide whether you are changing the Blaster for all devices or just one of the devices of the Osiris.

37 Pre-Programmed Code T ables The Osiris’s Pre-Programmed code library is divided into categories (TV, VCR, AUX, etc.). Each category actually includes many types of components. For example, the VCR category includes TV/VCR combo units. Within each category, the code numbers are listed in rows by brand (Sony, Panasonic, B & K, etc.). Some br[...]
