Press

mode. Device mode gives you access to all the possible commands for
each device included in your Harmony remote configuration. To access device mode you do not need to
be in an Activity. However, you should never need to use device mode during normal use of your
Harmony remote. This mode should only be used to send a specific command to a specific device.
You can eliminate the use of device mode by customizing your Activities.
Example
You can put commands on the display or customize specific buttons for the commands.

Harmony remote will only control the device features for the device.

your television.
