User Manual 600-Series Harmony Remote

Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your Harmony remote! 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 software (also referred to as Harmony remote 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 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 software to:

• Customize any of your Harmony remote’s features.

• Add more entertainment devices.

• Add more Activities.

v. 1.3 page 3

User Manual 600-Series Harmony Remote

Using Your Harmony Remote

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

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.

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.

2. 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.

To resynchronize:

1. Press the Help button on the remote.

v. 1.3 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.

See Customizing Your Harmony Remote.

At any time, press Device 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 Device again to return to exit Device mode.

Sound Mode

Sound mode focuses on controlling the sound features of the device you have chosen to control your sound

(e.g. Stereo Receiver). When you are in any Activity, press Sound to switch to this mode. Once in Sound mode,

the Harmony remote will only control sound features.

Example

If you choose stereo receiver to control the sound in your Watch a DVD Activity, press Sound and your

Harmony remote buttons will now be set to control the sound features of the Stereo Receiver. The

display will provide you with access to other sound-related commands such as Surround Field or Bass+.

Press Sound or the appropriate Activity button to return to Activity mode.

Picture Mode

Picture mode focuses on controlling the picture features of the device (e.g. TV or Projector) you have chosen to

display video.

When you are in any Activity, press Picture to switch to this mode. Once in Picture mode, the Harmony remote

will only control picture features.

Example

If you have chosen your Projector to display the video in your Watch a DVD Activity, press Picture and

your Harmony remote buttons will now be set to control the picture features of the Projector. The display

will provide you with access to other picture-related commands such as Aspect or Picture Adjust.

Press Picture or the appropriate Activity button to return to Activity mode.

User Manual 600-Series Harmony Remote

Customizing Your Harmony Remote

All customization of your Harmony remote is done from the Harmony remote software:

Use the Harmony remote software to:

• Troubleshoot

• Add or delete Activities

• Add or delete devices

• Change the settings for the remote

• Get support

• Update the remote

Update the remote after you have made changes your configuration or settings. This will ensure you have the

latest configuration and settings on your Harmony remote.

Customizing the Activity Buttons

The Harmony remote gives you dedicated buttons for selecting Activities. As a default, the Harmony remote will

automatically assign these buttons. You can keep the defaults, or use the Harmony Remote software to

customize your Activity buttons.

Any activities not assigned to a specific button will automatically be located under the More Activities button.

Changing the Behavior of Buttons Within an Activity

When you select an Activity, the Harmony remote will:

• Turn on all the correct entertainment devices

• Set the device inputs correctly

• Set up the remote’s buttons to control the Activity

Based on our knowledge of how each of your devices is controlled, the Harmony remote will make its best effort

to match all the buttons you need to control an Activity.

However, there may be some commands you want to add to buttons or access via the display. Commands can

be added to buttons quickly and easily by customizing any Activity to change the behavior of buttons.

Use the Harmony remote to change the behavior of buttons.

v. 1.3 page 6

User Manual 600-Series Harmony Remote

The change behavior of buttons feature shows you the:

• Buttons that have a command associated with them

• Device being controlled

• Command being sent to the device

Use the Harmony Remote Software to set a button to send a command to more than one device at a time.

Adding Custom-Labeled Buttons

Use the Harmony Remote Software to:

• Add custom-labeled buttons to a device.

• Add a custom-labeled button for an Activity.

Custom-labeled buttons are displayed on the Harmony remote’s display from left to right, top to bottom.

Learning Infrared (IR) Commands

The Harmony remote can learn infrared commands from other remote controls, and should only be used in

situations where the Harmony remote’s infrared database does not already contain an infrared command you

would like to use.

Using the Infrared Sensor

The Harmony remote has an infrared sensor at the end opposite to the USB connector. The Harmony remote

uses this sensor to learn commands from original device remotes.

A: Your original remote

B: Your Harmony remote

C: Distance between remotes: 5-10 cm (2”-5”) apart

The following steps outline what happens when you press a button on your original remote control:

1. The infrared sensor on the Harmony remote learns the infrared signal.

2. The Harmony remote uploads it via the USB cable (and your computer’s internet connection) to the

Harmony remote database.

3. The Harmony remote software will try to find a matching pattern for the infrared signal.

4. If no pattern is found, the signal will be stored as-is in its original format.

5. If a pattern is found, the Harmony remote software converts the signal into a format for convenient

storage.

Either way, the signal is then available for you to assign to a button on your Harmony remote.a

Naming an Infrared Command

When you teach an infrared command to the Harmony remote, give the command a name. This way you can

refer to this command by name in various locations of the online setup process. It is best to use the default

names listed on the Learn infrared commands step so that automatic button function assignments can be

applied to your Harmony remote.

v. 1.3 page 7

User Manual 600-Series Harmony Remote

Example

If you teach the volume button infrared commands from your original remote control, name them

“Volume Up” and “VolumeDown” (i.e. with no space, and capitalization as shown). The remote software

looks for commands with these names to automatically assign them to the volume up and down buttons

on the Harmony remote.

Naming Conventions

When naming a command for which there is no default name on the Learn infrared commands feature, use the

following naming conventions to make button assignment and sharing infrared commands easier:

• Do not use spaces or special characters such as /, & or * in the name.

• Capitalize the start of words (e.g. NextDisc, ModeDigital).

• Start the command name with its main function (e.g. VolumeRearUp, VolumeRearDown,

VolumeFrontUp, VolumeFrontDown). This helps group related commands in lists.

• 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).
