The MX-3000 sends radio signals to the MRF-250 throughout your house (50-100’ away, indoors or outdoors). The MRF-250 converts your commands to the infrared signals that control your A/V components.

MX-3000’s are available as an accessory purchase without an MRF-250 for standard system installations that already have an MRF-250. You can add any number of MRF-250 base stations in a standard system as well. If you need more than six flasher outputs you may add additional MRF- 250 receivers as needed by ordering an accessory MRF-250 base station.

Disable the Front Blaster. This will limit the number of components your MRF-250 can control to six. If you have more than six components you can purchase an additional MRF-250 (available as an accessory alone from your Home Theater Master dealer).
(or VCR’s, Receivers, CD players etc.) There are several considerations to take into account when you are installing an MRF-250 to control an array of identical components: 1. You cannot use the Front Blaster to control identical components. You must use Flashers instead. You can still use the Front Blaster in a cabinet that is out of sight of the identical components to control the rest of your system.

Yes, the flashers are compatible, however flashers from other companies are equipped with a mini plug that is too large to fit the MRF-250’s flasher jacks. Use Radio Shack part # 274-327 to convert 3.5mm plug Flasher/Emitters to the MRF-250.
