turning o.
ZONE2 and ZONE3 can be set to shut o after 2, 4
or 8 hours of no operation being performed. These
zones will shut o automatically even if there is
audio or video playing if no user input has been

Save & Load
Setup Menu>General>Save & Load
The Save & Load menu allows you to back up and
restore congurations for the MX123. If you spent
some time customizing your settings, it makes sense
to create a backup. You will need a compatible
USB memory device formatted to FAT32 with at
least 128 MB of free space. Insert the USB memory
device into the USB port labeled USB on the rear
of the unit (see “USB” on page 9). Choose Save
Conguration. Do not shut the power o until the
operation is complete. A le named cong.avi will
be created. Do not change the name or it will not be
recognized for restoring the conguration.
To restore the saved conguration, insert the USB
memory device with the cong.avi le and choose
Load Conguration. Do not shut the power o
during this process. When it is complete, “Loaded”
will appear on the display and the MX123 will
automatically restart.
