Logitech Harmony Ultimate

Tip: If your Harmony remote is having problems learning IR commands from your original remote,
one or more of the following ideas may help:
Minimize the amount of light that could interfere with the learning process by blocking out sunlight or turning
off the lights.
Install new batteries in the original remote. If the batteries are low, the signal coming from your original
remote may be too weak for the Harmony Ultimate remote to detect.
Press or tap the button on your original remote as you would during normal use. If you still have problems
learning IR commands, gradually increase the time for which the button is pressed until you reach 1-2 seconds.
If you still have trouble teaching the commands, start with the remotes 2 inches apart. Then try again, slightly
increasing the distance each time (2.5 inches, 3 inches, etc.).
Try varying the angle at which the commands are sent from the original remote to the Harmony Ultimate.
Ensure the device's original remote is sending infrared (IR) commands. If the device's original remote is able to
control the device when in a different room or when covered by a blanket then it is likely not an IR remote and
cannot be learned or controlled by Harmony.
Setting up and testing Activities
After you have added devices, you can create Activities that manage how you use your devices together. For
example, if you have a TV, AV receiver, and cable or satellite box, you will want to control all of these devices when
you watch TV. To control all of these devices together, create a Watch TV Activity.
Adding a Watch TV Activity
When you are initially setting up your Harmony remote, you'll be guided through setting up the Watch TV Activity.
Pressing Watch TV on your new Harmony Ultimate will turn on your television, your cable box, and any other
devices that you've specified for the Watch TV Activity.
To add a Watch TV Activity:
1. The Watch TV Activity configuration step will begin automatically the first time you finish adding devices
to your account. You will be able to configure other Activities later, such as Watch a Movie, Listen to
Music and Play a Game.
2. Choose the devices you want to use in your Activity. MyHarmony will recommend the devices you have
added based on their typical use. You can include or exclude devices from the Activity at this stage.
Select or deselect devices if appropriate and click Next.
