Before resynchronizing, ensure the cause of the problem has been addressed. For 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 replace the remote's batteries. 

To resynchronize: 

1. Press 

the 

Help

 button. The Harmony remote will resend the appropriate commands to your 

entertainment devices and then ask you a series of questions such as "Is the Television On?" 
and "Is the Stereo Receiver set to the DVD input?" 

2.  Answer the questions on your 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. 

Using Sound and Picture Modes in an Activity 

Once you have selected an activity, the functionality of each button on your Harmony remote is 
automatically configured for that activity. Additionally, the Custom Buttons and LCD will give you 
access to other commands for that activity, which cannot be set to the standard buttons. This is known 
as the Activity mode. 

Within each activity you can change how the Harmony remote behaves by switching into one of 3 
alternative modes: 

Sound Mode 

Sound mode focuses on controlling the sound features of the relevant device you have chosen to 
control your sound (e.g. Stereo Receiver). When you are in any activity, press the 

SOUND

 button to 

switch to this mode. Once in Sound mode, the Harmony remote will only control sound features. 

For example, if you have chosen your Stereo Receiver to control the sound in your 

Watch a DVD

 

Activity, the Sound mode will change the Harmony remote buttons to control the Stereo Receiver as 
completely as possible. In the LCD you will see commands such as 

Surround Field

 or 

Bass+

Press the 

SOUND

 button or appropriate Activity button to return to Activity mode. 

Picture Mode 

Picture mode focuses on controlling the picture features of the device you have chosen to view your 
pictures (e.g. TV or Projector). 

When you are in any activity, press the 

PICTURE

 button to switch into this mode. Once in Picture 

mode, the Harmony remote will only control picture features. 

For example, if you have chosen your Projector to display the video in your 

Watch a DVD

 Activity, 

the Picture mode will change the Harmony remote buttons to control the Projector as completely as 
possible. In the LCD you will see commands such as 

Aspect

 or 

Picture Adjust
