How Can We Help?

SR-260 Remote (button layout and function, using the List button and navigating for control)

Your handheld remote is laid out in an intuitive fashion and is easily customizable.

Watch:
If you want to watch something simply press the watch button to see your selections. Use the navigation buttons below to highlight your selection, then press the select button. Your system will automatically turn on and switch to that source. The buttons on the remote will now control all the functions of the source you’ve chosen.

Listen:
The Listen button works in the same way as Watch. When you are ready to listen to something press the listen button. You will see your choices populate on screen. Navigate to make your selection.

Room Off:
When you are done using the system, simply press the Room Off button to turn off all Components associated with that room.

In the off position the remote’s screen will only show the room’s name. If you only see the room’s name, the system thinks all components are currently off. When you turn something on by pressing the watch or listen button, you will then see the room’s name followed by the source’s name directly below.

Sometimes one of the system components may get out of sync. You will press watch, make a selection and some components have come on but possibly a cable box or TV may not have. Looking at the remote screen can help you diagnose the problem. If the remote displays the room’s name and the source’s name but you don’t have a picture or sound then most of the components have come on and one or more is out of sync. In this scenario you would manually inspect the components to determine if they are on or not. If any component is off you would manually turn them on, with the power button or with the original remote. You may see this happen with cable boxes, surround receivers, and sometimes televisions.

If some components are verifiably on, but the remote shows only the room’s name, then the system thinks all the components are currently off. In this scenario you would manually turn off each component, returning the system to an in-sync state.

Changing Rooms:
You can easily change the room your remote will control. By changing rooms on the remote you will now be able to control all the audio/video and lighting functions within that room. Simply press the “List” button near the top of the remote, press the up arrow on the navigation keypad to highlight the room name, then press select. You will then see all the rooms available and can scroll to the room you want. Once highlighted press the select button once and then again to lock in your choice. This is also how you can make a room part of the Quick Select option.

When you select into a room you will also see the option for Quick Select. If there is a check mark, then that room will show up in the Quick Select menu. You access the Quick Select Menu by pressing the “List” button, then Up to highlight the room name and then Left or Right to scroll through the Quick Select Rooms. When your room if found, simply press watch or listen to control, or the cancel button to exit out of the menu screen and into your newly selected room. This can be useful if you find yourself moving between different rooms often.

List Button:
Pressing the List button will also gain you access to control your Lighting, Comfort, Custom Buttons or Remote Control Settings.
Selecting the Lighting menu will gain you access to all the scenes and individual lights within the room. Selecting Comfort will gain you access to each Thermostat within your system. You can then make your selection and adjustments as needed. Selecting Custom Buttons will gain you access to any Special Programming that we have made when creating your Global Home Automation Scenes. Selecting Settings will take you into the Help menu which may be useful if trying to control a single device when troubleshooting. The Config menu is used to modify the settings of your remote. Here you can modify the remote’s brightness, text color, or battery level. The About selection is used by us to verify the software and address of the remote. During troubleshooting we may direct you to this area for that information.
The Red Control4 Logo button is used to take you to the on screen Navigator Interface. This is used in situations where you have a dedicated controller in the room, and want the on screen interface in addition to iPhone, iPad, and Touch panel control.
 
Next to the List button are the Remote’s Custom Buttons. These 3 buttons with corresponding dots can be programmed to do anything we want. We could make them custom scenes controlling A/V, Lights, and Shades on a single press, or enable them to bring a problematic cable box back into sync. We will work together to determine the functionality you require or you can make up a scenario on you own and program it easily and intuitively through Control4’s When-Then programming interface, using any Browser and your my.control4.com login.
The DVR button will take you to your recorded programs.
 
The color buttons correspond to any like colored button seen within the Cable or Satellite menus.
