basics about Activity-Based Control. This will now be described in more detail.
Watching Cable TV
Tonight, a great movie is being broadcast. You’re going to have a cinema experience by
watching it on your living room’s flat screen TV. With the RC9800i you select the cable
box as the source that holds the content and the flat screen TV as the device you’ll be
watching the movie on.
To do so, proceed as follows:
1 On the Homepage, choose Watch.
The following screen will appear.
Note If you have multiple display devices in
the room, the RC9800i will prompt you to
select the display device you want to
watch.
Note Icons in bottom bar may differ depending
on the activities you have set up.
2 Choose the cable box icon (the source that holds the content you
would like to enjoy).
The combined control screen
will appear.
3 Choose the digits corresponding to the channel you want to watch, the one
that broadcasts the movie.
The RC9800i will send remote control codes to tune the cable box to the
appropriate channel.
The RC9800i offers two ways to interact with the television and the cable box:
■ Choose a soft button on the control button page;
■ Press the hard keys on the RC9800i.
■ Channel up/down to switch channels;
■ Volume up/down/Mute to adjust the television’s volume;
■ Home to go to the RC9800i Homepage.
This indicates the number of pages
available. Use the Page hard key to
scroll through the pages.
These are the typical controls
for watching television via a
cable box.
