Introduction
The Harmony remote is an Internet-powered universal remote control. Your Harmony remote can control
most devices that understand infrared (IR) signals.
The configuration of your Harmony remote is simple:
•
You will be prompted to answer questions about your entertainment devices to create your own
personal Harmony remote configuration.
•
Your answers will provide us with a description of the entertainment devices you want to control,
how they are set up, and your preferences for controlling them.
•
If one of your devices is not in the Harmony remote web site's database, the Harmony web
process will learn about your device and add it to your configuration.
•
Once you have told us about your devices, you will then be guided through setting up Activities.
Creating Activities is simple: you will be prompted to indicate the devices you use within an
Activity and how you want to control specific features, such as the volume, within that Activity.
An
Activity
is a set of commands the Harmony remote sends to your entertainment system to
turn on the necessary devices. Once you have selected an Activity, the functionality of each
button on your Harmony remote is automatically configured for that Activity. Additionally, the
screen (LCD) buttons will give you access to other commands for that Activity, which cannot be
set to the standard buttons. This is known as Activity mode.
Example
For the Watch Television Activity, the Harmony remote sends commands to your entertainment
system to turn on the necessary devices so you can watch television. The remote will
automatically be configured for the Activity based on the answers you selected during the online
setup process for the Activity.
At the end of the setup process, you will have your own configuration loaded in your Harmony remote and
your own personal Harmony member home page.
