How to make this remote all yours

The Xsight™ Color has powerful customization tools to make this remote truly your own. Favorites gives you access to your Favorite Channels and settings for the whole family. You can choose up to 72 favorite channels. Profiles lets you group your favorite channels and remote settings for each family member or type of programming.

To use Favorites and Profiles, first build your list of favorite channels for the entire family—this list includes everything: all of Mom’s favorites, all of Dad’s...anything you plan to include in your profiles. Then you can choose from this list to create the individual profiles. But remember: a channel must be in your favorites in order to be in a profile.

Creating your family favorites

The first step is creating a list of favorite channels for the entire family. Once you’ve created this list, you can create lists for separate profiles.
