Using the 

Help

 button

Because obstacles or distance can interfere with the signals the Harmony 610 sends when it 
starts an Activity (for example, someone walks between your Harmony 610 and the TV when 
you press 

Watch TV

, or you’re very far away from the system when you start an Activity), your 

Harmony 610 can become “out of sync” with your devices.

To fix the problem, use the help feature on your Harmony 610.

On the remote, press the 

1. 

Help

 button.

Answer the questions on the Harmony 610 screen by selecting 

2. 

Yes

 or No by pressing 

the side LCD button closest to your selection.  

Based on your answers, the Harmony 610 re-sends the necessary commands to synchronize 
with your devices.

When you’re done with this process, the Harmony 610 will be “in sync” with your devices.

Before using the 

Help

 button, be sure you’ve addressed the cause of the 

problem (for example, remove any obstacles from the line of sight).
