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.
•
A: Your original remote
•
B: Distance between remotes: 5-10 cm (2"-5") apart
•
C: Your Harmony remote
The following steps outline what happens when you press a button on your original remote control:
1. The infrared sensor on the Harmony remote learns the infrared signal.
2. The Harmony remote uploads it via the USB cable (and your computer's internet connection) to
the Harmony database.
3. The Harmony remote software will try to find a matching pattern for the infrared signal.
4. If no pattern is found, the signal will be stored as-is in its original format.
5. If a pattern is found, the Harmony remote software converts the signal into a format for
convenient storage.
Either way, the signal is then available for you to assign to a button on your Harmony remote.
Naming an Infrared Command
When you teach an infrared command to the Harmony remote, give the command a name. This way you
can refer to this command by name in various locations of the online setup process. It is best to use the
default names listed on the
Learn infrared commands step so that automatic button function
assignments can be applied to your Harmony remote.
Example
If you teach the volume button infrared commands from your original remote control, name them
"VolumeUp" and "VolumeDown" (i.e. with no space, and capitalization as shown). The remote
software looks for commands with these names to automatically assign them to the volume up
and down buttons on the Harmony remote.
Naming Conventions
When naming a command for which there is no default name on the Learn infrared commands feature,
use the following naming conventions to make button assignment and sharing infrared commands easier:
•
Do not use spaces or special characters such as /, & or * in the name.
•
Capitalize the start of words (e.g. NextDisc, ModeDigital).
•
Start the command name with its main function (e.g. VolumeRearUp, VolumeRearDown,
VolumeFrontUp, VolumeFrontDown). This helps group related commands in lists.
•
For infrared commands that select inputs (e.g. on a stereo receiver), start with the prefix "Input".
Do not name the input based on what you have connected to your device, rather name it based
on what it is called on the front of the device, or on the remote control (e.g. InputAux,
InputVideo1, InputTape, InputDVD, InputVCR).
