Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your Harmony remote! True system control is now at your fingertips.

This User Manual will introduce you to the basic online setup process, customizations and main features

of your Harmony remote.

If in doubt about how to set up your Harmony remote, follow the information and instructions using the

Logitech Harmony remote control software (also referred to as Harmony remote control software).

The Harmony remote is an Internet-powered universal remote control. Your Harmony remote can control

most devices that understand infrared (IR) signals.

The configuration of your Harmony remote is simple:

• You will be prompted to answer questions about your entertainment devices to create your own

personal Harmony remote configuration.

• Your answers will provide us with a description of the entertainment devices you want to control,

how they are set up, and your preferences for controlling them.

• If one of your devices is not in the Harmony remote's database, the Harmony remote control

software will learn about your device and add it to your configuration.

• Once you have told us about your devices, you will then be guided through setting up Activities.

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.

Example

For the Watch Television Activity, the Harmony remote sends commands to your entertainment

system to turn on the necessary devices so you can watch television. The remote will

automatically be configured for the Activity based on the answers you selected during the online

setup process for the Activity.

At the end of the setup process, you will have your own configuration loaded in your Harmony remote.

Use your Harmony remote control software to:

• Customize any of your Harmony remote’s features.

• Add more entertainment devices.

• Add more Activities.

Many of the Harmony remote's buttons are standard remote buttons. However, there are buttons and

other hardware that may not be so familiar to you. The extra buttons and hardware give you access to the

Beginning the Online Setup Process

Once you have installed the Logitech Harmony remote control software, you will be guided through a

series of question-and-answer steps to complete each of the five main steps of the online setup process:

1. Login Information: Create your login information.

2. Check Connection: Ensures your computer and your Harmony remote are communicating

properly.

3. Set Up Devices: Helps you provide us with information about the devices in your personal home

theater system.

4. Set Up Activities: Helps you provide us with information about the way your devices work

together to perform Activities (e.g. Watch Television Activity).

5. Update Remote: Updates your remote with your personal settings.

step you are at.

Harmony 550 User Manual

Using Your Harmony Remote

This section provides you with information that will help you use your remote.

Using the Glow Button

Press the Glow button to light up or turn off the display backlight. To determine the length of time the

backlight stays on:

1. Connect your Harmony remote to your computer to start the Harmony remote control software.

2. Click

Remote Preferences.

3. Select Settings.

4. Click

Next.

Using the Motion Sensor

If the remote is not used for two hours, the motion sensor on the remote automatically turns on. When the

sensor detects any motion, the motion sensor will turn on the backlight on the remote. You can also turn

off the motion sensor by pressing the Glow button.

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 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 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 resynchronizing, 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.

v. 1.1 page 4

Harmony 550 User Manual

To resynchronize:

1. Press the Help button.

2. Answer the questions on the remote’s display by selecting Yes or No. If you answer no to any

question, the Harmony remote will resend the necessary command and ask you the same

question again.

When you are done, the Harmony remote will be "in sync" with your devices again.

Types of Help Available

You can customize the Help button on your Harmony remote to provide one of the following types of help:

• Smart help

Asks questions about the devices that are on during a specific Activity.

• Full help

Asks questions about all the devices in your help system.

Select Full help if you find devices that aren’t being controlled the way you want them to, and the help on

the remote is not asking you questions about these devices.

To select the type of help you want:

1. Connect your Harmony remote to your computer to start the Harmony remote control software.

2. Click

Remote Preferences.

3. Select

Settings.

4. Click Next.

Using the Remote Assistant

Extra help is available from your remote by turning on the Remote Assistant.

To turn on/off this feature using the remote control software:

1. From

Home in the Harmony control software, click Remote Preferences.

2. Select

Settings.

3. Click Next.

v. 1.1 page 5

Harmony 550 User Manual

While the Help button helps you solve device problems within an Activity, the Remote Assistant teaches

you how to use your Harmony remote. The following is an example of the type of help the Remote

Assistant offers:

Example

If any devices are not set up correctly, press “Help” now.

Selecting an Activity

View the Activities you have added by pressing the Activities button. The

display will then list the Activities you have added. Press the corresponding

display button next to the Activity you want to start.

As a default, when you select an Activity, you will see a message on the

remote’s display reminding you to keep the remote pointed at your

entertainment system while the Activity starts. This helps ensure that all

infrared (IR) signals are properly sent.

To turn on/off the “Starting Activity” message:

1. Connect your Harmony remote to your computer to start the Harmony

remote control software.

2. Click

Remote Preferences.

3. Select Settings.

4. Click

Next.

Controlling Individual Devices

Press Devices 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.

See Customizing Your Harmony Remote.

At any time, press Devices to switch into device mode. Once in this mode, the Harmony remote will

display a list of all the devices you have in your configuration. Select a device from the list and the

Harmony remote will only control the device features for the device.

Example

If you choose Television as the device, the number, volume and channel buttons will all control

your television.

Press Devices to return to Activity mode.

Using the Smart Buttons

While there is a default setting for the buttons in most Activities, you can customize these buttons to send

different commands. See Changing the Behavior of Buttons Within an Activity.
