Congratulations on the purchase of a TC 30! More than just another remote control, this innovative product combines all the commands
needed to operate your home entertainment system into logical, easy to use Activities. For example, an activity puts the buttons needed to
Watch TV or Listen to FM Radio together, making it simple for anyone to operate even the most sophisticated system without having
to worry about which remote to use or which button to press. The TC 30s activity based system lets the remote operate based on the
way you use your system, and the automated setup wizards do all the programming for you.
This User Manual shows you how to navigate the basic online setup process, customize your TC 30 to your home theater system, and use
it in normal operation. If you have any questions about the information and instructions in this manual, a wide range of Help options are

Introduction
The TC 30 is an Internet powered, universal remote control that can control most devices that respond to infrared (IR) signals. Configuring
your TC 30 is simple:
1. Connect the TC 30 to your computer using the supplied USB cable.
2. Install the TC 30 software on your computer.
3. Follow the prompts to tell the software what devices are in your entertainment system. This enables the TC 30 Web site to send the
correct remote codes back to your TC 30. If one of your devices is not in the TC 30 Web sites database, the TC 30 can learn those codes
and add them to your configuration.
4. Once you have set the remote for your devices, you will be guided through setup for Activities by indicating which devices are used to
control specific features, such as the volume, within that Activity.
An
Activity is a set of commands sent by the TC 30 to turn on the necessary devices and control them. Once you have selected an Activity,
each button on the TC 30 is automatically configured for the devices used in that Activity.
Example:
The Watch Television Activity sends commands to your entertainment system to turn on the Devices, such as a cable or satellite set
top, your audio system and, of course, the video display used when you watch television, based on the answers you selected during
the online setup process. The Activity system then assigns button functions to the correct device, so that the Volume controls the audio
system, and the Channel Up/Down commands are sent to the proper source.
At the end of the setup process, the Web site will download a unique configuration to your TC 30, customized to the components you own
and the way you use them.
You may return to the TC 30 home page as often as you like by simply connecting the TC 30 to your computer so that you may update
the TC 30s internal software and firmware,customize any of your TC 30s features, add more entertainment devices and program
new Activities.
