Using Your Harmony Remote
Please read this section before using your Harmony remote for the first time.
Selecting an Activity
The Harmony remote gives you dedicated buttons for selecting activities.
•
Press any one of the Activity buttons to jump directly to your favorite activities, or press the
More Activities
button to display other activities in the LCD. Select the activity you want by
pressing the adjacent button.
•
Since every home has different entertainment devices, your activities will be unique--your
Harmony will let you choose the activities that are relevant to you.
•
As soon as you select an activity, the Harmony remote will send all the appropriate commands
to your entertainment system so that it is configured for that activity.
For example, in a
Watch Television
Activity,
if you have a television and a satellite receiver,
the Harmony remote will turn on your television, turn on your satellite receiver, and set your
television to the correct input.
Switching Between Activities
To change to a different activity:
1. Press any one of the Activity buttons to jump directly to one of your favorite activities, or press
the
More Activities
button to see other activities in the LCD.
2. Select the activity you want to switch to by pressing the button next to it, or press
More
Activities
.
Resynchronizing Your Harmony Remote
From time to time when you select an activity, the activity may not work. This can happen when the
Harmony remote sends many infrared commands to set up all your devices for an activity, but one or
more devices are not receiving some commands. The Harmony remote is then "out of sync" with your
devices (e.g. it thinks one of your devices is on, but it is turned off). Some of the reasons the Harmony
remote can become "out of sync" with your system are:
•
Someone walks between the Harmony remote and your entertainment system while the status
light is on.
•
You point your Harmony remote away from your system while the status light is on.
•
There is an object blocking the line-of-sight between your Harmony remote and the system.
•
You are very far away from your entertainment system.
