• My “Hello” activity didn’t work.
On the remote screen, select Assist. Then select Power On/Off. Select 
the key for each device to turn that device on. Use the toggle bar to 
access more devices.
Make sure your remote is pointed directly at your home entertainment 
devices and that there’s nothing obstructing the path.
If the Power On/Off command in the Assist screen still doesn’t turn 
your device on, you might be using the wrong command to power on 
this device. Reconnect to the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard and 
choose Activities, Modify Activity. Then choose the Hello activity and 
check the power on/off commands. See page 16 for more information.
Make sure all your devices are off before you start the “Hello” activity. 
• My “Watch Movie/Satellite/Cable” activity didn’t work.
On the remote screen, select Assist. Then select No Sound or No 
Picture. Finally, select the on-screen input button until you see or hear 
the correct signal.
• The wrong device is changing inputs in the Assist screens.
Make sure the input key you see on the No Sound/No Picture screen is 
the correct one for the device you’re trying to change. If it isn’t, press 
the key and try the other Assist option (for example, No Sound if you 
chose No Picture first)
If that option is still changing inputs on the wrong device, connect the remote 
to your PC and launch the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard. In the 
main menu, choose Activities, Modify an Activity, the activity you want to 
modify, and Key Command Sequence. In the Key Command Sequence, check 
that you’ve chosen the correct input commands for each device. 
• The device is going to the wrong input or not changing inputs at all
in the Assist screens.
Make sure the input key you see on the No Sound/No Picture screen matches 
the device input you’re trying to access. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to change to 
the correct command in the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard.
Connect the remote to your PC and launch the EZ-RC™ Remote Control 
Setup Wizard. In the main menu, choose Activities, Modify an Activity, 
the activity you want to modify, and Key Command Sequence. In the 
Key Command Sequence, check that you’ve chosen the correct input 
commands for each device. 
Using Favorites and Profiles
• I can’t find a channel I want to add to my Favorites.
You can add it manually by choosing Other at the top of the list. You can 
then choose to display this channel by a text label or search the EZ-RC™ 
Remote Control Setup Wizard library for a channel icon. To use an icon 
from the library (or to choose your own), select Show Channel Icon, 
then click the … button.
Scroll through the icons available in the collection and highlight the logo 
you want. If you don’t see the icon you want, you can add your own by 
clicking the Browse button and finding the artwork for the icon on your 
PC. Press OK when you’ve selected the icon you want.
The channel icon appears in the replica of the remote screen. Continue with 
the instructions that follow to add the channel number for this channel.
• I can’t find a channel I want to add to my Profile.
Only the channels you’ve chosen as your favorites can be selected for a 
profile. If you want to add a channel for your profile that you don’t see 
here, add it to your favorites by choosing Favorites, and then Modify 
Favorites in the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard Main Menu and 
following the on-screen instructions for adding channels.
• How do I customize my Profile’s picture?
In the second Add Profile screen (where you can change the name of the 
Profile), click the Profile’s icon and browse your PC for the picture you 
want to use.
• How do I start a second page of favorite channels?
When you’ve filled up a page, click the + icon below the replica remote
screen to add another page. Then click the first space in that page to 
start filling it with channels.
• I can’t tune to one or more of my favorite channels.
Make sure all your favorite channels are on a single source, like your cable 
box or satellite receiver. Favorites won’t work with a second source (for 
example, a satellite receiver and over-the-air programming on your TV). 
If you have digital sub-channels in your Favorites list (like 59.1), choose 4 
digits in the Favorites setup. See page 38 for more information.
Make sure the settings for Favorites match the way you tune to channels 
in your system. See page 38 for more information.
Make sure the channel numbers you entered for your favorite channels 
are accurate for your system.
