Note: On occasion, you may notice that when you pick up the remote control it suddenly turns off devices that you had turned on. This can happen when your body picks up a static electric charge from your surroundings, like walking across a carpeted floor, and you then pick up the remote. Should this occur, you can simply restart the Activity you were in. v. 1. 2 page 3 User Manual Harmony 1000 Devices A device refers to the individual components that make up your home entertainment system. Examples of devices TV, DVD player, digital set top box, Tivo® Adding Devices to Your Account Before you can add devices, you must install the software from the CD that was packaged with the remote, or from the Logitech web site. Once you have installed the software, you will be prompted to create a member account so that you can store your information about the devices in your home entertainment center. After you have created an account the software will guide through a step-by-step process that will ask you questions about the type of devices you have (manufacturer and model information), and how you want to use and control them. Updating Devices in Your Account After you have set up your Harmony remote, should you want to update any devices stored in your account--you're replacing an existing device with an upgraded model, or you have purchased a device for the first time--you can log in to your account, and edit your list of devices and settings. You will need to update the remote with your latest changes. Understanding Inputs This section provides a description of what inputs are, where they are commonly located, and some suggestions on how to tell what input a specific device uses. Overview of Inputs Home electronic devices such as televisions, DVD players, and stereo receivers require an audio and/or video signal to perform their intended purpose (playing sound or a DVD). The source of the signal can come from a cable company, an antenna, a satellite, a DVD player, etc. Typically, the signal is sent via a cable, or multiple cables that plug into your device. The connector that the cable plugs into is called an input. There are different types of inputs, and sometimes a single device can have more than one type of input. Examples RCA inputs Co-axial inputs Optical inputs An input is the connector on a device through which a signal (audio, video etc. ) enters the device. An input can also refer to a signal sent to a device. v. 1. 2 page 4 User Manual Harmony 1000 Identifying the Inputs a Device Uses To identify the names of the inputs for your device, try any of the following that apply to your device: · · · Using the Input, Source or Function button on the original remote for the device, switch through all of the inputs and note the name of the input that is displayed on the device. Review the device's user manual, which should list all of the available inputs. 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 actually 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 an Activity is starting. You point your Harmony remote away from your system while an Activity is starting.
