2 Configure the Good Night activity for your devices.

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.

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, we won’t use it now.

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.
