Testing your setup
Every time you update your Harmony 650, you should test your remote to ensure it’s
working the way you expect. This chapter gives you the information you need to test
your remote. It also has some suggestions on what to check while you’re testing your
setup.
If you run into specific issues while testing your remote, refer to the
Troubleshooting
section of this manual for suggestions and possible fixes for your problems.
The process of testing your Harmony 650 is straightforward. It involves simply trying the
Activities you use most often and then using the on-remote help to correct any issues.
In some cases, you may need to return to the Harmony Remote Software to make
changes to your remote’s setup to ensure the remote is working the way you want.
To begin testing your remote:
Disconnect the USB cable from your remote.
1.
If this is the first time you’ve updated your remote, the Harmony 650’s
tutorial will start on the remote’s screen.
Ensure all the devices in your entertainment system are turned off.
2.
If you are viewing the tutorial, follow the instructions displayed on the remote’s
3.
screen.
Go to your entertainment system and try each of your Activities.

For tips on what to look for when starting an Activity, or switching between
Activities, see the tips in this chapter.
If an Activity doesn’t start correctly, press the
5.
Help
button on the remote and
the on-remote help will get you back “in sync”. After you finish testing your
Activities, be sure to re-test any for which you had to use the Help.
