Niles Audio HT-MSU - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Niles HT-MSU Home Theater Main System Unit. The HT-MSU
addresses an essential need of today’s consumers—the ability to easily control and manage the
assortment of entertainment sources found in the home theater environment.
Home theater systems are often controlled entirely by the remote. The result is a big, bulky, remote
control with small, complicated buttons or screens that only a “mad scientist” could figure out. The
Niles Home Theater Main System Unit (HT-MSU) ends the confusion by placing power and control
in an interface box and using the remote to “trigger” desired activities.
The Niles HT-MSU can be used with the Niles R-8 Handheld IR Remote Control or any learning
IR remote control programmed with Niles single-touch activity keys. With the Niles HT-MSU,
users gain levels of control that are simply not possible with traditional “universal” remotes.
Infrared, RS232, voltage triggers, and contact closures make the HT-MSU a complete control and
automation system for displays, surround receivers, cable boxes, satellite receivers, DVD players
and more. In addition, the HT-MSU can automate functions like lighting control, TV lifts, draperies,
and projection screens.
Home entertainment systems should be fun, not frustrating, and Niles has always recognized the
need for simple-to-use, cost-effective solutions. The Niles HT-MSU Home Theater Main System
Unit gives end users one-touch control of their home theater systems and reflects the high quality
fit and finish that meets the standards of today’s consumers.
