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.
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. MAIN Button The top of the screen changes from MAIN to TV.
U n i v e r s a l R e m o t e C o n t r o l , I n c . Basic Setup You can start setting up your Osiris using either the Pre-Programmed Method or the Learning Method.
Page 8
Press the P-PRO button to select the Pre-Programmed Method. The display changes so that you can select which Device button to setup. Press a Page button to display the other five Device names. 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.

U n i v e r s a l R e m o t e C o n t r o l , I n c . In this step you verify the type of component you plan to operate with this device button.
Page 10
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 your component was actually manufactured by another brand).
U n i v e r s a l R e m o t e C o n t r o l , I n c . 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-...

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.

Volume 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.
Page 15
U n i v e r s a l R e m o t e C o n t r o l , I n c . 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.
T h e O s i r i s 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).

U n i v e r s a l R e m o t e C o n t r o l , I n c . Adjusting Contrast You can make the text darker by pressing both the MAIN and cursor UP buttons at the same time.
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: Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons for approx- imately three seconds.
Page 19
U n i v e r s a l R e m o t e C o n t r o l , I n c . Press the button you wish to edit. The first character of your button label blinks.
Page 20
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.
U n i v e r s a l R e m o t e C o n t r o l , I n c . 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.
Page 22
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.
U n i v e r s a l R e m o t e C o n t r o l , I n c . Favorite Channel Setup Imagine surfing all your favorite channels, without ever typing in a channel number.
Page 24
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.
U n i v e r s a l R e m o t e C o n t r o l , I n c . Hiding and Adding Pages Each of your Osiris Devices actually contains eight pages. However, only five pages are visible in the factory default setting.
Page 26
Navigate to any page, using the MAIN, DEVICE, FAV, and PAGE but- tons. Button PAGE Buttons 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.
U n i v e r s a l R e m o t e C o n t r o l , I n c . Erasing You can erase an individual button with a learned command, a macro or a favorite channel.
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.
U n i v e r s a l R e m o t e C o n t r o l , I n c . 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.
T h e O s i r i s 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.

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).
