• 

Someone walks between the Harmony remote and your entertainment system while an Activity is 
starting. 

• 

You point your Harmony remote away from your system while an Activity is starting. 

• 

There is an object blocking the line-of-sight between your Harmony remote and the system. 

• 

You are very far away from your entertainment system. 

You will need to use the 

Help

 button on your Harmony remote to resynchronize the remote with your 

devices. Before resynchronizing, ensure the cause of the problem has been addressed.  

Example 

Remove all obstructions so that the entertainment devices can receive the infrared commands 
from the Harmony remote. 

Note:

 If your devices are no longer responding consistently to your Harmony remote, but were 

doing so before, you may need to recharge the battery. 

To resynchronize: 

1. Press 

the 

Help

 button. 

 

 

2.  Answer the questions on the remote’s screen (LCD) by selecting 

Yes

 or 

No

. If you answer no to 

any question the Harmony remote will resend the necessary command and ask you the same 
question again.  

When you are done, the Harmony remote will be "in sync" with your devices again. 

Types of On-Screen (LCD) Help Available 

You can customize the 

Help

 button on your Harmony remote to provide one of the following types of on-

screen (LCD) help: 

• 

Smart help 

Asks questions about the devices that are on during a specific Activity. 

• 

Full help 

Asks questions about all the devices in your help system. 

Select 

Full help

 if you find there are devices that aren’t being controlled the way you want them to and 

the on-screen (LCD) Help is not asking you questions about these devices.  

To select the type of help you want: 

1. Click 

My Remote Preferences

 on your Harmony home page. 

2. Click
