"Now that we have the devices set up you can set up activities. Activities work like macros for the system. Basically what an activity does is issue multiple commands at the same time. Take for instance that you want to watch a dvd movie. If you select the "Watch a DVD" activity then the Harmony 1000 will issue the commands to turn on the TV, change the TV to the correct channel, and turn on the DVD player, all with the press of one button. When the activities menu comes up you can choose what activities you want to program. These include "Watch TV", "Watch a DVD or Tape", "Play Games", or "Listen to Music". Select the ones you want, then click next."
