Getting the Most Out of It

Good To Know: Combined Control Screens

Combined Control screens are the core elements of the Activity-Based Control concept. They allow you to control the involved devices and their content during the activity. You can cycle through the various control screens with the Page hard key.

For example, in the scenario above, the combined control screens for a cable box hooked up to a TV appear. The first screen shows the most frequently used control buttons for both devices. By pressing the Page hard key, you have access to additional, less frequently used controls.
