TAKING A FIRST LOOK
SETUP AND USE GUIDE 22
The Avidea Remote Control is a Radio Frequency (RF) and Infrared (IR)
remote that can be programmed to operate all the Devices connected to your
Avidea System, such as your TV, cable box, satellite receiver, VCR, etc. It has
an extensive library of codes for these Devices that can be easily programmed.
See "Entering Codes for Other Devices" on p. 21.
In addition, the Avidea Remote can "learn" codes from your existing remote
controls that are not already stored in its library. See "Learning Commands"
on p. 24.
You can label the touch screen buttons on the Avidea Remote. Characters and
numbers are available for labeling as well as various audio and video symbols.
See ‘Labeling Buttons and Devices’ on p. 26.
Recording macros is another feature of the Avidea Remote. If you wish to
assign a sequence of commands to a single button, you can record a macro. See
‘Recording Macros’ on p. 28.
We have provided you with software for use on a PC called Freedom Edit, so
that you can create your own screens and create an individualized look for
your remote. You can find Freedom Edit on the included CD-ROM and on
the Boston Acoustics website www.bostonacoustics.com/avidea. Freedom
Edit’s online help system will guide you through the process. In the future
Freedom Edit will also allow you to upgrade your Avidea Remote. See
‘Freedom Edit’ on p. 32.

USING THE AVIDEA REMOTE
Activating the Remote Control
Turning on the Display and the Backlight
The Remote Control’s display can be activated
in four different ways:
Tilting the unit more than 50 degrees
as illustrated activates the display but
not the backlight.
Pressing the Backlight button on the
left side will activate the display and
the backlight.
Tapping the screen gently with your finger
or a blunt, soft object like a pencil eraser
will activate the display, but not the backlight.
Pressing any button will activate the display, but not the backlight.
Note: You can set the backlight to automatically activate whenever you use the
remote. See ‘Adjusting the Backlight Timer’ on p. 15.
Whenever batteries are installed in the Avidea Remote or when it is reset, the
Remote will beep twice. The Avidea Remote then automatically switches to
the Device Page that displays all potential Devices that your Avidea Remote
can operate.

The LCD Touch Screen is divided into different sections:
Using the Soft Buttons
By tapping the soft buttons on the LCD Touch Screen you send commands to
the Device you have selected. The name of the active Device is indicated at
the top of the touch screen.
Note You can operate the soft buttons in the same way you operate hard buttons on
a conventional remote control. When you keep the soft button pressed
instead of tapping it, the Avidea Remote keeps sending the command for up
to 30 seconds.
Using the Hard Buttons
Hard Buttons can be operated at any time, even without turning on the LCD
Touch Screen.
Here the date and time are displayed when you are
operating your Devices. See p. 15 & 16 to set time
and date.
In this area you can see:
· The page number of the Device
· The Device you are operating
· The battery level indicator
With these soft buttons you operate your Device.
These are the labels of the 4 hard buttons below the
touch screen.

The controls to operate your Devices are typically located on different pages.
You can scroll through these pages using the Page Up and Page Down
buttons on the left side of the touch screen. The page number on the left of
the touch screen indicates the active page number and the total number of
screens; for example 1/6 means page 1 of 6 pages. The pages also “wrap
around” which means you can go to any page in any direction.

Use the Backlight button to activate the Avidea Remote’s display and
backlight.
Note If the screen stays black or becomes blank, adjust the contrast using the page
buttons on the left side. See Changing the LCD Contrast below. The Remote

Note To adjust the contrast multiple levels, press the Page Up or Page Down
button multiple times. When you press and hold the Page Up or Page Down
button, the LCD contrast will change only one level.
The Battery Status
The battery icon indicates the status of your batteries.
When the battery status is low, the Low Battery icon appears at the top
of the touch screen. You can still operate your Devices, but you cannot adjust
the settings, enter codes, learn commands or record macros anymore. When
you try to perform these actions, a message screen appears.
Replace the batteries to make the Avidea Remote fully functional again. See
‘The Batteries’ on p. 3 to replace the batteries.
