The Take Control Editor enables you to
configure Take Control, and set up and
modify settings for electronic devices.

The Take Control Editor starts every time
you insert the TC1000 compact disc into
the CD-ROM drive, once you complete
“Starting Take Control for the First Time,”
page 6. Using the Take Control Editor
simply requires that you follow the instruc-
tions on the screen.

To start the Take Control Editor:

1 Insert the TC1000 compact disc – 

included in the box – into your 
CD-ROM drive.

2 Connect the Take Control to your com-

puter. The Take Control Editor starts
automatically, and begins with the Take
Control Editor home screen.

The TC1000 includes many pre-defined
activities – such as Watch TV, Watch a vid-
eotape, Watch a DVD-video, and so forth
– however, you may want to create new
activities of your own. Creating a new
activity requires connecting your TC1000
to a computer.

To create a new activity:

1 On the Take Control Editor home

screen, click Add new activity.

2 Type a name, select an icon for the 

activity, and then click OK.

3 Follow the on-screen instructions.

Tip You can also create and remove activities
using Take Control alone. See “Adding and Re-
moving Activities,” page 10.

Note  You can add up to 32 activities.

Once you begin using your TC1000, you
may wish to customize the way an activity
works. Customizing an activity is a
straightforward process using a Take Con-
trol system controller with your 
computer.

For example, you may rename an activity
or add additional buttons for a device in
the activity screen.
To customize an activity:
1 On the Take Control Editor home

screen, select the activity that you wish
to change.

2 Click Edit, and then follow the 

on-screen instructions.

You may delete activities when your Take
Control is connected to a computer.

To delete an activity:

●

On the Take Control Editor home
screen, select the activity that you wish
to delete, and then click Delete.

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 activity

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.

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.

You can easily add or delete a device 
using the Take Control Editor.

To add or delete a device:

●

On the Take Control Editor home
screen, under Setup, click Devices, and
then follow the on-screen instructions
to add or delete a device.

●

We recommend that you add a listed device 
using the TC1000 unit before you add or learn
an unlisted device category with the Take 
Control software. See “Adding, Editing, and
Removing Devices,” page 9.

●

You can add up to 15 devices.

A macro is a powerful feature that sends a
series of IR commands to your devices.

You can create one macro button on your
activity screen that performs multiple steps
– then you simply press the macro button
on the activity screen to send the series of
commands to your devices.
For example, you may want to turn on
your TV, VCR, and A/V receiver at the
same time, set the TV to channel 3, and
set the VCR to select the channels. 
To set up a macro:
1 On the Take Control Editor home

screen, select Macros.

2 Click Add new macro, type the name

of the new macro, and then click OK.

3 Select a device in the Select source list.

For example, select your TV or VCR.

4 In the Buttons list, select the appropri-

ate button and drag it to the 
Macro editor.

5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to finish building

your macro, and then click Done.

●

When using macros, your devices may require
a moment to respond, requiring you to include
a short delay between steps. If your device
does not respond correctly when you first use
a macro, try adjusting the Delay setting, be-
ginning with the lowest setting, and then in-
creasing it, as needed. See the TC1000 Online
User’s Guide for more information.

●

You can add about 30 macros.

If you would like additional information on
using the Take Control software, refer to
the extensive TC1000 Online User's Guide,
which contains detailed information on all
aspects of the TC1000 
software. 

To access the TC1000 Online User's Guide,
click Help in the Take Control Editor.
