Congratulations on the purchase of a TC 30! More than just another remote control, this innovative product combines all the commands needed to operate your home entertainment system into logical, easy-to-use Activities. For example, an activity puts the buttons needed to “Watch TV” or “Listen to FM Radio” together, making it simple for anyone to operate even the most sophisticated system without having to worry about which remote to use or which button to press.
Introduction The TC 30 is an Internet-powered, universal remote control that can control most devices that respond to infrared (IR) signals. Configuring your TC 30 is simple: 1. Connect the TC 30 to your computer using the supplied USB cable. 2. Install the TC 30 software on your computer. 3. Follow the prompts to tell the software what devices are in your entertainment system. This enables the TC 30 Web site to send the correct remote codes back to your TC 30.
Getting to Know Your TC 30 Many of the TC 30’s buttons are similar to those found on conventional remote controls. However, some of the buttons and hardware functions are unique to the TC 30. These extra buttons and hardware give you access to the special features of the TC 30.
0 USB Connector: Push down on the rubber cover to access the USB connecter. To program the TC 30 from our Web site, connect the supplied USB cable here, and then to your computer. 1 IR Emitter Window: Point this end of the remote toward the devices being controlled. 2 Power Button: Press this button to turn a Device off. 3 Activities Button: Press this button to view the list of Activities programmed into your TC 30.
Setup and Configuration Battery Installation and Charging NOTE: Sample screen only; your screen may differ. The TC 30’s battery must be fully charged before you begin to use it. To insert the battery, gently push down on the battery cover latch on the bottom of the unit and pull the cover toward you. Insert the battery with the label side up and three gold contacts at the top of the battery compartment.
The Setup Process The general setup instructions for the initial installation and configuration of the TC 30 software and for connecting your TC 30 to the Internet through your computer are found in the Installation Guide that was packed with your TC 30. If you have misplaced it, you may download a copy from the Product Support section of our Web site at www.harmankardon.com. Once the software is installed on your computer, you will be taken to the TC 30 Internet site.
Step 2: Complete the Online Setup Process NOTE: Sample screen only; your screen may differ. After creating a TC 30 login, the online setup process will begin. Follow the instructions step by step, as they are shown on your computer screen. 1. Login: This is where you establish the login and password for your TC 30 account. It is always a good idea to save that information should you need it, although you will also receive a confirmation e-mail for your records.
Using Your TC 30 Using and Adjusting the Backlight The TC 30’s backlight system illuminates the LCD screen and the keypad buttons whenever the unit is moved. You may also press the Glow Button G to turn the backlighting on. The length of time the backlight stays on and the on/off setting control for the “tilt sensor” that turns the lighting on when the unit is moved may be adjusted by clicking on Remote Preferences at the TC 30 home page and then clicking on Settings.
At the same time, when an Activity is started, the “Power On” command will be sent to all Devices in that Activity and the buttons on the TC 30 take on the functions assigned to them during the setup process. While an Activity is in use, you may operate the full set of controls for any Device in your system by pressing the Device Button 4 at any time and selecting the component you wish to control.
Displaying On-Screen Help on Your TC 30 A selected Activity may not function properly from time to time when the Devices in the system are not all powered on. Some of the reasons the TC 30 remote can become “out of sync” with your system are: • The TC 30 was not pointed at the devices in your system when the Activity was selected. • An object is blocking the line of sight between your TC 30 and your system. • The TC 30 is too far away from a Device for the IR signal to be received.
Controlling Individual Devices In addition to controlling the main functions of a Device through an activity, you may also control the complete set of commands for any Device in your system by pressing the Device Button 4 and pressing the Screen Button 6 next to the name of the Device you wish to control.
Customizing Your TC 30 Customization of the features and controls for your TC 30 is done through the TC 30 Web page. To access the TC 30 Web site home page, first connect your TC 30 to your computer using the enclosed USB cable. As long as the TC 30 software is installed on a computer connected to the Internet, it will automatically sense the presence of the remote and connect to the Internet.
