Displaying Help on Your Harmony Remote 

From time to time when you select an Activity, the Activity may not work. This can happen when the 
Harmony remote sends many infrared commands to set up all your devices for an Activity, but one or 
more devices are not receiving some commands. The Harmony remote is then "out of sync" with your 
devices (e.g. it thinks one of your devices is on, but it is turned off). Some of the reasons the Harmony 
remote can become "out of sync" with your system are:  

 

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. 

To resynchronize: 

1. Press 

the 

Help

 button. 

 

2.  Answer the questions on the remote’s display 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.
