Take Control
Customizing Activities
Once you begin using your TC1000, you
may wish to customize the way an activi-

straightforward process using a Take
Control system controller with your
computer.
For example, you may rename an activity
or add additional buttons for a device in
the activity screen.

screen, select the activity that you
wish to change.
2 Click Edit, and then follow the
on-screen instructions.
Deleting Activities
You may delete activities when your Take
Control is connected to a computer.
To delete an activity:
l
On the Take Control Editor home
screen, select the activity that you
wish to delete, and then click Delete.
Customizing Take Control’s Buttons
and Menu Commands
The Take Control software gives you the
ability to customize any button or menu
command that appears on the touch-
screen. All customizing occurs through
the Take Control Editor.
For example, you may want to move a
button, add a button, delete a button, or
change the name of a button on the
touchscreen.
To customize a button:
1 On the Take Control Editor home
screen, select the activity that includes
the button you want to customize.
2 Click Edit, and then select Edit activ-
ity screen.
3 Select a device in the Select source
list. For example, select your VCR or
Amplifier.
4 In the Buttons list, click a button and
drag it to the activity screen on the
left, and then click Done.
Changing the Tactile Control
Buttons
Using the Take Control software, you can
customize any tactile control button on
the TC1000. For example, you could
change the mute button to mute your
receiver, instead of your TV. All customiz-
ing occurs through the Take Control
Editor.
To change a tactile control button:
1 On the Take Control Editor home
screen, select the activity within which
you would like to use a customized
control button.
2 Click Edit, click Edit settings, and
then follow the on-screen instructions.

and then follow the on-screen
instructions to add or delete a device.
