Learning Infrared (IR) Commands 

The Harmony remote can learn infrared commands from other remote controls, and should only be used 
in situations where the Harmony remote’s database does not already contain an infrared command you 
would like to use. 

Determine the device you would like to send the infrared command to: 

1.  Connect your Harmony remote to your computer to start the Harmony remote software. 

2. Click 

View Devices

3.  Click a device. 

4. Click

Using the Infrared Sensor 

The Harmony remote has an infrared sensor at the end opposite to the USB connector. The Harmony 
remote uses this sensor to learn commands from original device remotes.

•
