[. . . ] Please ensure all of your devices are powered off, then start an Activity by tapping on it from the Harmony Ultimate remote screen. Make sure that all of your devices are turned off. Tap an Activity such as Watch TV from the Harmony Ultimate remote LCD screen. Confirm that the Activity has started correctly and that you can hear sound and see video. If it has, select Yes, everything started correctly. If something is not working properly, the tutorial may help to correct it or you may have to visit MyHarmony. If you discover any setup problems during these tests, see Setup problems under Troubleshooting for more information. Using your Harmony Ultimate After completing the first time setup to add your devices, create Activities, and choose your Favorite Channels, you 26 Logitech Harmony Ultimate are ready to use your remote. The following sections describe how to access the features you will use most often. Activities Tap the icon above the touch screen on your Harmony Ultimate to see your Activities. Tap an Activity to start it. Your Harmony Ultimate will send all the commands to the necessary devices in your entertainment system. For example, to Watch TV, Harmony Ultimate will turn on your TV, turn on your cable set top box, turn on your AV receiver, set the input on your TV to HDMI 2, set the input on your AV receiver to HDMI 1. The first time you start an Activity after setup, the Harmony Ultimate asks you to confirm that everything worked properly. If you answer “no” the remote will walk you through troubleshooting steps. 27 Logitech Harmony Ultimate Switching between Activities While an Activity is active, selecting another Activity will leave on or turn on necessary devices, turn off unnecessary devices, and select the correct inputs for each of the devices. For example, when switching from watching TV to watching a Blu-ray, Harmony Ultimate will leave your TV and AV receiver turned on, but will turn off your cable set top box and turn on your Blu-ray player. Depending on how your AV receiver is set up, Harmony Ultimate may also change the AV input from the TV to the Blu-ray player. TIP: You don’t need to turn your system off in between switching Activities. Harmony Ultimate remembers what is on and off and switches between Activities automatically. NOTE: if you would like to keep a particular device on when switching to an Activity that does not use it, this may be customized by signing into MyHarmony. For example: you may want to keep your Xbox powered on while you switch to Watch TV so you may return back to Play a Game without losing your game status. For more information, refer to the support article for setting devices to stay on. Activity commands When your Activity starts, all the buttons on Harmony Ultimate are configured to control that Activity. For example, in a Watch TV Activity, the volume button will control your AV receiver while the Play and Pause buttons and the directional navigation will control your cable or satellite set top box. In addition, the screen on the remote is able to display all the available commands for each device that is participating in the current Activity. Gesture control Each Activity allows you to control your devices using simple swipes and taps on the Harmony Ultimate screen.
