A system and method is provided for assigning services to users of a home entertainment system environment, wherein the home entertainment system environment includes a computing system (102) comprised of a centralized computing device (100) configured to coordinate the lifecycle of a plurality of services (12-24). Access to said computing system (102) is achieved via user controlled remote access devices (40). Once access is established, the users are shown a listing of a plurality of services (12-24) and their corresponding service label identifiers. Selection of one or more preferred services (12-24) by a user is facilitated through use of the preferred service label identifiers. Once a selection is made by a user, assignment of the preferred service is made to the user's remote access device. Advantageously, only the assigned service is controlled by the user's remote control device without causing unintended control of the non-selected services. According to another aspect of the invention, a method for assigning audio services (32-44) among users in a home entertainment system environment is provided, wherein the environment includes a computing system (102) comprised of a plurality of audio services (32-44) accessible by a plurality of audio sets associated with users of the system.
