Create and Manage Activities
An activity is a multi-step series of events that you set up on the smart
remote. An activity can be simple, like watch TV, or more complex, like
record a cable show on a DVR.
For each activity, you will have to choose the devices and the sequence of
events that need to be performed. For example, to watch a DVD movie the
events might be:
• Turn on the TV
• Change the TV input
• Turn on the DVD player
• Press play
You will be prompted to set up a OneTouch key for the activity. Then, when
you want to play the activity, press the key and the smart remote will
perform all of the tasks associated with the activity.
Types of Activities
There are three types of activities you can create on the smart remote:
•
Watch
A sequence of events that allows you to watch a particular
type of program. For example, one watch activity could turn
on and prepare the devices needed to watch a cable show.
Another watch activity could turn on and tune in the devices
needed to watch a broadcast show.
•
Listen
A sequence of events that allows you to listen to a particular
type of program or listen to a CD. For example, a listen
activity could turn on and tune in the devices needed to listen
to satellite radio.
