Programming M1, M2, M3, M4 Buttons
To utilize the M1 thru M4 buttons, the multi-room controller must be programmed via Dragon-Drop IR
software. The Dragon-Drop IR programming software comes with the MRC88/44 and
MRAUDIO8X8/4X4 controllers. When the multi-room controller receives the M1, M2, M3, or M4
command from the MRCREM, the system will output a sequence of to-be-programmed commands.
The programming procedure is identical to placing commands on the keypad. (NOTE: The
BXAUDIO4X4CTL cannot be programmed to respond to buttons M1, M2, M3, and M4.)
1. Access the RC68 IR Command Macro window. Buttons M1, M2, M3, and M4 will trigger
macros recorded under RC68 buttons F1, 99, D9, and B9 as shown in Figure B.
2. Select the RC68+ button that’s corresponds with M1 through M4.
3. Open the palettes or internal commands for the devices to be controlled in the sequence.
4. Select the command that will be associated with button M1, M2, M3, or M4.

Figure B shows the Dragon-Drop IR software. Here, button “99” on the RC68 is selected. The macro
command list shows an internal command that will set the “bass” level to preset level. In this case, the
preset level is maximum “bass” level 14. When the multi-room controller is programmed with this
command sequence, the MRCREM will have the capability to change a room’s audio by simply
pressing “M2”. This is an example how the MRCREM can be used to instantly control a room’s
environment with one simple button press.
Additional information can be found on page 38 of the MRC44 and MRAUDIO4X4 installation
instructions.
