Hi,

I am considering the purchase of this remote. Was not able to completly understand something from reading about the product and through this forum.

If I power on my home theater (Pio Elite receiver, Pio 5045HD Plasma, Sony DVD, Moto 6412 Cable/DVR) and then select an activity and later yet another activity, with each change of activity (watch TV, Play DVD) will the remote automatically send the signals to change the TV and Receiver inputs?

Example. If I press Watch TV I need the TV switched to Input 1 and the Receiver switched to TV Input. If I want to play a DVD I need the TV switched to Input 3 and the Receiver switched to the DVD Input.

My concern is to keep this simple for my wife and kids I don't want them being prompted with a question as to which input to use. This need was implied in another thread I read.

Thanks!
-Matt

Yes, it'll do that no problem. The problem arises when you need to select a specific soundfield (stereo, DTS, etc.), or perhaps a certain screen format, or even control lighting. Then you need to create a pseudo device for each additional item you also want to have automated when you run an activity.
