Out of the Box
Many remote menus have more items than will t on a single screen. If you don’t see
the item you want on a menu screen, look for the arrow in the lower-right corner of the
screen...that means there are more items in this menu. To access these items, just keep
pressing the down arrow when you get to the last item showing.
The top of the remote also offers Shortcut keys to give you one-touch access to some
of the remote’s advanced functions:
(Home/Back) goes back one screen in the menus. Holding this key down for
three seconds takes the remote to the Home Screen.
(Activities) accesses the Activities screen directly.
(Favorites) accesses the Favorites screen directly.
(Devices) accesses the Devices screen directly.
Tips for using the remote screen
To select an item on the remote screen, all you have to do is highlight and select.
To select an item: Press
the key.
To highlight an item: Use
the up and down arrow
keys beneath the screen.

You can change the setting by pressing the (Home/Back) key to go back one or more screens in the
setup routine.

On-Remote Device Setup
The Xsight™ Plus lets you set up your devices in seconds, right on the remote, with a built-in library of codes for the most popular
models of the most common home theater devices: DVD players, plasma and LCD HDTVs, and much more.
Note: If you quit setup before reaching the
Add Device screen, you can access device
setup through the Settings menu on the
remote. In the Home screen, choose Settings
(it’s on the second page of the Home
screen—use the arrow keys below the screen
to access it). Then select Device Setup and
Add Device, and follow the instructions.
After the tutorial, select “Remote”
The remote asks if you want to set up devices on your remote

Next, we’ll make
sure we’ve got
the right codes.
Turn on your
TV.
Enter a name for your device.
To accept the default name for the device (for example, “TV” for
a TV, “DVD” for a DVD player, etc.), press to select continue. To
change the name, press to clear the text. Then use the number
keys on the remote like the number keys on your mobile phone to
“text” in a new name for the device. Press to enter the name.
Tips for testing codes
• Always point the remote directly at the
device you’re trying to control.
• It may take a few seconds for your device
to respond to a command (especially on or
off). Be patient between presses—give your
device a few seconds to respond.
• Some brands of devices do not use a POWER
key to turn the device on or off. Instead they
use separate POWER ON and POWER OFF
keys. Check your devices’ original remotes
to see if any of them have these separate
power keys. If they do, use other keys
(volume, channel, or number keys) to test
codes in this step.
First, test the (Power) button on the remote.
If your device turns off, try several other keys on your remote to
make sure this code gives you all the functionality you want for
this device. For example, if you’re testing a code for your DVD

If the other keys on the remote work for your device, select
Works! If the other keys don’t work, select Next Code to try the
next code in the library.
More devices?
Once you’ve found a code that works for your device, the remote
asks if you want to add another device. Select Yes to add another
device (or select No if you’re done for now).
Set Master Volume control
If you’ve set up the remote to control more than one device, the
remote asks if there’s a single device that controls volume for
your entire system (like an audio receiver).
If there is, use the arrow keys below the screen to highlight that
device in the list, then press . If not, highlight Skip and press
to go to the next screen.
If you sometimes use other devices to change volume, answer No
in these screens—you’ll have a chance to set up master volume for

Activities
Set up your rst activities
Activities give you one-touch control over your entire home theater...watch movies, your favorite TV shows, listen to music, all with the
touch of a button. This chapter gets you started. This is how it works:
• a “Hello” activity turns on all your home theater devices automatically when you’re ready to start enjoying them
• customized activities to Watch Movies, Watch Satellite or Cable, Listen to Music, etc. let you switch seamlessly between your
favorite TV shows and DVDs
• when you’re nished enjoying your home theater, a “Good Night” activity turns everything off for you
Setting up the “Hello” activity (all on)
The “Hello” activity is a very important rst step to get the most from activities on your Xsight™ Plus. Different devices require
different amounts of time to warm up before they can be used, which can interfere with the functioning of multi-step activities like
“Watch Movie,” which you’ll set up later in this section. The “Hello” activity makes sure everything is on and ready for action when you
want to use it.
Using Quick Power
The Xsight™ Plus offers another option for quickly turning multiple devices on or off: Quick Power. This feature puts the power commands for all
your devices on a single screen, where you can manage your home entertainment system with a single touch.
To use Quick Power:
1. Press the shortcut key. Then press the key to select Quick Power.
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the device you want to turn on or off. Press the key to turn that device on or off.

Set the power on commands
Once you’ve given the “Hello” activity the name you want (or left it as “Hello”), the next
Wizard screen lets you set how each of your devices are powered on.
Use the pull-down menu for each device to set that device’s power-on command. The
options are:
None Use this option if you want to leave a device out of the “Hello” activity (for
example, if the device is in another room).
On Use this option if the remote that originally came with this device has separate
ON and OFF keys (not a single POWER key).
Off Since this option turns your devices off, you won’t use it in this activity.
Toggle Use this option if the remote that originally came with this device has a single
POWER (or ON/OFF) key.
Once you’ve set the power-on command for each of your devices click the Next button at
the bottom of the screen to continue.
Set volume/channel/playback controls
The next setup screen for the “Hello” activity lets you set which devices you use to

Congure the “Good Night” activity for your devices.
Use the pull-down menu for each device to set that device’s power-off command. The
options are:
None Use this option if you want to leave a device out of the “Good Night” activity
(for example, if the device is in another room).
On Since this option turns your devices on, you won’t use it in this activity.
Off Use this option if the remote that originally came with this device has separate
ON and OFF keys (not a single POWER key).
Toggle Use this option if the remote that originally came with this device has a
single POWER (or ON/OFF) key.
Once you’ve set the power-off command for each of your devices click Next to continue.
After you click Next, the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard
prepares your remote to test the activity with your home theater
system.
Set the power off commands
Once you’ve given the “Good Night” activity the name you want (or left it as “Good
Night”), the next Wizard screen lets you set how each of your devices are powered off.
