Evolution 50/55
Revolution 200
Overview
 
Control of Your Home Theater and Lights with pone button
The control in action
Don't Stress. It's all under control
Stress. It's a fact of life, with the daily demands of work, errands, bills, family, and deciding what's for dinner. Your home should be your happy place, where you can relax and recharge. But even fun can be frustrating when it's hard to do simple things like watch a TV or a Blu-ray movie. Learning the different remotes and their complex menus and layouts feels a lot like work, and trying to keep track of them is a pain, especially from tiny hands and paws.
So stress less. Because Monster Central offers you controllers that are ergonomic and easy-to-use, so you get all your entertainment, minus all the effort.
 
A simpler, better home
Living room scene
There's no better way to relax after a long week than in your favorite chair with a few good flicks. Not having to get up – and having everything at your fingertips – definitely sweetens the deal. Want to watch a Blu-ray movie? Turn on your Xbox? Listen to music? Just press a single button, and your devices turn on the way you want them to—with volume, channel, and playback controls customized just for you.
 
A brighter, safer home
living room scene
Light brings both beauty and safety to your home – inside and out. It helps you set the right mood for every room and perfect ambience for special occasions, like a dinner party. For better security, you can set your lights to turn on when you come home, so you don't have to fumble in the dark again. They can mimic your natural usage patterns when you're out of town, so you always look like you're at home.

Evolution 55/50 One-Button Control You can See in the Dark
High-end controllers tend to be confusing and expensive, but the Monster® AVL 50/55 is straightforward and stylish – at a fraction of the price. It complements the sleek look of today's home entertainment system, and the new thumbs-free design lets you easily navigate complex AV menus.
couple watching TV
The familiar contours of the AVL 50/55, modeled after game controllers, give you a firm grip and easy reach of all buttons. Its layout is intuitive and clearly-labeled, and the non-slip surface lets you use it on a tabletop.
It's a snap to set up, since the AVL 50/55's built-in codes control hundreds of AV components right out-of-the-box. It uses infrared technology to learn functions of any remote, new or old, so you don't have to worry about your equipment becoming obsolete quickly.
Both the AVL 50/55 feature practical, elegant backlighting, perfect for dim and dark settings. Backlighting on the 50 is amber, while the 55 can be backlit in two colors – either blue or amber – to indicate whether an activity or function came from a TV or AV source.

FAQs
How do I Watch Television from Cable and Satellite?
 
If you Watch Television channels using more than one device or service provider, then you can add more than one Watch Television Activity to your configuration.
For example, you might create a "Watch Satellite" Activity and a "Watch Cable" Activity.
The "Watch Satellite" Activity will use the Satellite to change channels, and the "Watch Cable" Activity will use your Television to change channels.
 
Why am I getting an error?
 
The setup wizard encountered a problem while configuring this activity. There are a number of possible causes for this:
You may have deleted a device recently. For example, if you have deleted your CD player, the 'Listen to CDs' activity will not work correctly.
You may have incorrectly setup a device (look for "Needs Setup" on your Home Page). For example, if the inputs are not specified correctly for your television then the 'Watch a DVD' activity will give you this error.
 
What does the connectivity check do?
 
The connectivity check will ensure that the USB drivers and software are installed and working correctly. It will also ensure that the remote is communicating with the website before you move on to configuring the Remote.
 
Why is a file downloaded to my computer? (Mac Only)
 
The website will send a small file to your computer. This file contains information to send to the remote with one of the software applications installed on your computer. Once the file download has completed, the software application that communicates with the remote should launch automatically to perform the communication.
 
" I get an error "The specified path does not exist. Check the path then try again."
 
The update file is stored temporarily on your hard drive. Your browser chooses a temporary path location. Sometimes the hard drive location is full. To fix this problem, try the following:

Open a new browser window.

On the menu bar of your browser, click on Tools, then Internet Options.

Click on the "Delete Files..." button in the Temporary Internet Files section under General.

Try the download again.
 
I follow the instructions, but I get a dialog box which says: "Windows cannot open this file..". What now?
 
You may have seen a window like this, when you attempted to convert your test drive account:
You need to install the software from the CD provided with your remote. After you install this software, plug the remote into your computer with the USB cable provided. Then return to the Test Drive window and click "Convert". If your computer needs to be rebooted during the software installation, login using your Test drive login ID, and then click "Convert".
 
How do I know when I have finished using the Controller Update Application?
 
When you enter this page, a window should pop up, which looks like this:
If all goes well, the website will communicate with the controller, that window should disappear, and you should be automatically sent to the next page, which, if successful, will indicate that the Connectivity is confirmed. It should look something like this:
If for some reason, the first window (grey) opens, but does not close, you should take note of the information on that page, and click on the "Troubleshoot" button at the bottom of the page. The image below is an example of such a problem:
If the first window opens, and closes, and everything seems to have worked, but you are not directed automatically to the page which indicates that Connectivity is confirmed, you should click on the "Done" button.
 
What does the Troubleshoot button do? - Obsolete
 
The troubleshoot button launches a connectivity troubleshooting wizard, which will help you to establish connectivity between the Monster controller website, and your remote control. Options within this wizard will allow you to:
Install the Monster client software, if you have not already done so. (The Monster client software allows your computer to communicate with the Monster Controller.)

Help you to 'wake up' the Monster client software if it is not responding

Troubleshoot and fix problems with the Monster client software recognizing or communicating with your remote.

Troubleshoot and fix problems with the Monster client software communicating with the Monster controller web site.
 
What happens if I skip the connectivity check?
 
If you skip the connectivity check, and connectivity between your remote control and the web site has not been established, you will not be able to set up your remote control. We recommend that you attempt to troubleshoot the problem with our troubleshooting wizard. If the wizards do not help you to resolve your problem, please contact our customer support team; our specialists will be happy to help you to set up your remote control.
 
How do I know which error has occured?
 
When the client application (the pop up window with the grey background) encounters an error, it will remain open, and a message will be displayed in a box in the centre of the window. Example:
In the example, the heading of the error is "No Remote Detected." Informative text is displayed in the text, recommending a course of action. You should always try this first. If the recommended course of action does not succeed, you whould use the troubleshooter, which will suggest more options.
 
How do I know if I haven't installed the Monster Controller client application?
 
If you followed the Quick Start, and installed software from the CD provided with your Monster controller successfully, then you have installed the Monster client application. If the Monster client application is installed and running, it should launch automatically when you do a connectivity check.
If the client application is not installed, you will see a dialog like this, when the Monster web site attempts to connect to your Monster controller:
In this case, you should select the option to install the Monster client software.
 
How do I know if the Monster client application showed me an error?
 
The Monster client application pops up in a separate window, and has a grey background. it should look something like this:
If all goes well, this button should close by itself, during a connectivity check, after it has completed.
If the window is showing an error, it will remain open, and there will be a message providing additional information, which you should note for troubleshooting. Here is an example of an error with the client application:
 
What do you mean by the
 
When we say "Language", we are really talking about the Infrared Language that your existing remote control uses to control the device.
There are many different Infrared Languages. The remote needs to know which of these languages is used to control your device.
 
I don't know which speed setting to modify. What do I choose?
 
Power On Delay. When a device receives a 'PowerOn' command, it takes a certain amount of time to 'warm up' the device and resume normal operation. For most devices this happens very quickly, but for some devices such as televisions and receivers it can take up to 3000 milliseconds (three seconds).
Inter-key Delay. When a device receives an infrared command the device will become 'busy' processing the command. The amount of time required before the device will respond to another command is known as the inter-key delay, and normally ranges from zero to 300 milliseconds. Devices with long inter-key delays take longer to respond to multiple infrared commands (for example, when changing television channels).
Input Delay. When a device switches inputs (e.g. goes from Video 1 to Video 2) the device will become 'busy' processing the command. The amount of time required before the device will respond to another switch input command is known as the Input delay, and normally ranges from 5
 
What format should I type in my model number? All upper case, with spaces or with dashes?
 
It is best to enter the model number exactly how it is written on your device or on the user manual for your device. Don't worry if you're not sure. Just type it in as you see it and we will search for the best match. Most manufacturers use UPPERCASE for their model numbers. Here are some examples of model numbers:
AV-32D303
CDP-CX240
RTS 2628V
 
Where do I find the model number of my device?
 
Many manufacturers print the model number on the front faceplate of the device, or on a sticker on the back of the device. If you look at the back of your device, do not be confused by the serial number. Make sure you look for the model number. Another good place to look is on the user manual for your device. Most manufacturers use UPPERCASE for their model numbers. Here are some examples of model numbers:
AV-32D303
CDP-CX240
RTS 2628V
Aconda
 
I've tried everything and I can't find the model number for my device. What do I do now?
 
It is very important that you find the model number because this will allow us to find a good match. However, if you cannot find a model number look for a "family", "line" or "series" designation on your device. This will allow us to show you a list of AV components with that designation.
 
What must I do after I have Updated my remote?
 
The most important thing you should do after your remote has been updated is synchronize it with your entertainment system. Synchronizing your remote with your system tells the remote what devices are on and off, and what their inputs are set to.

Note: You will only have to do this the first time you try an Activity. From then on your remote will remember these settings and will control all the devices automatically for you.

To synchronize your remote:

Turn off all your entertainment devices manually or using their remote controls.

On your remote choose an Activity you would like to try.

If your remote did not seem to turn on the correct devices for the activity, or if an input or setting is not correct (for example, you do not see a picture on your TV or hear sound) press Help on your remote.
a. Answer the questions on your Remote's LCD screen. This will synchronize the remote with your entertainment devices.
Press Power on the remote to
 
The remote does not control one of my devices when I choose an Activity?
 
Try to determine the cause of the problem. If you think you know the cause of the problem, click on the appropriate link next to that device. If you are not sure, click on Troubleshoot next to that device, or click on Troubleshoot next to the Activity for which that device is not controlled properly.
 
The controller is missing an infrared command to control one of my devices?
 
Click on More Options for that device and Learn the infrared command from your original remote.
