User manual LOGITECH HARMONY 600

[. . . ] 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, you are in Activity mode, and the functionality of each button on your Harmony remote is automatically configured for that Activity. Additionally, the display buttons will give you access to other commands for that Activity, which cannot be set to the standard buttons. [. . . ] This helps ensure that all infrared (IR) signals are properly sent. Use the Harmony Remote Software to turn on/off the "Starting Activity" message. Switching Between Activities To change to a different Activity: 1. Press any one of the Activity buttons to go directly to one of your favorite activities, or press the More Activities button to see a list of your other Activities. Press the button next to the Activity you want to switch to. Displaying Help on 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 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. 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. You will need to use the Help button on your Harmony remote to resynchronize the remote with your devices. Before re-synchronizing, ensure the cause of the problem has been addressed. Example Remove all obstructions so that the entertainment devices can receive the infrared commands from the Harmony remote. Note: If your devices are no longer responding consistently to your Harmony remote, but were doing so before, you may need to recharge the battery. Press the Help button on the remote. v. 1. 2 page 4 User Manual 600-Series Harmony Remote Controlling Individual Devices This section provides you with an overview of three modes you can use to access specific features of each device. Device Mode Press Device to enter device mode. Device mode gives you access to all the possible commands for each device included in your Harmony remote configuration. To access device mode you do not need to be in an Activity. However, you should never need to use Device mode during normal use of your Harmony remote. This mode should only be used to send a specific command to a specific device. You can eliminate the use of device mode by customizing your Activities. Example You can put commands on the display or customize specific buttons for the commands. [. . . ] 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, Input VCR). v. [. . . ]
