Introduction
You’re about to experience a new standard in simplicity with even the most complex components. With just one touch you can start watching, listening or playing.
Whether you’re new to Harmony products or you consider yourself an expert, this User Manual provides you with useful information to get you going.
Getting to know your remote
How your Harmony 1100i works
The Harmony 1100i is an Activity-based infrared (IR) universal remote control. Using the Harmony Remote Software, you can configure the Harmony 1100i to control up to 15 devices.
The Harmony 1100i uses Smart State Technology® to deliver powerful Activity-based control. This technology allows the Harmony 1100i to control your home theatre as a whole. It knows which devices need to be turned on and which inputs the devices need to be set to. Using Smart State Technology®, the Harmony 1100i switches effortlessly from watching a DVD to listening to music on the stereo with the touch of a button.
Activities, devices, and inputs
Activities are the basis for how the Harmony 1100i works. Watching a DVD, listening to the radio, and playing a game are all examples of Activities you can set up for your remote using the Harmony Remote Software.
During setup, a step-by-step wizard walks you through creating these Activities for your system. When you select an Activity, your Harmony 1100i sends a series of commands to your entertainment
system to turn on the necessary devices and configure them for the selected Activity. All the buttons you need for that Activity are automatically at your fingertips.
Devices are the components that make up your entertainment system. The TV, cable box, DVD player, and game system are all examples of Devices.
Inputs are how your devices are connected. For example, if you look at the back of your TV, there are a number of ports where you can connect your devices. These are inputs.

Commands common to your Activity
When you’re in an Activity, your Harmony 1100i screen displays all the commands you need for that Activity. For example, if you’re watching TV, your screen displays functions and commands for your Set Top Box and your AV Receiver. You’ll never have to pick up a different remote to raise the volume ever again!
Favorite Channels
You can set up your favorite channels on your Harmony so that you have quick access to the channels you watch the most. Each channel can have its own custom icon to make it easier to recognize. Just press the button and the Harmony 1100i will change to the desired channel for you. To access this feature, press the Heart Icon from your Watch TV start screen.
Activities
The Activities screen is your starting point on the Harmony 1100i. From this screen, you select which Activity you want to start.
Devices
The Devices screen lists all of the devices in your entertainment system. You can access the Devices screen by pressing the Settings icon (wrench) from your main Activity page, or if you are in an Activity, by pressing the Custom Control icon. From there, press the Devices button.
Smart Buttons
Although there is a default setting for the buttons in most Activities, you can customize these buttons to send other commands you use on a regular basis. To access your custom buttons, press the Custom Control icon (star).

Selecting an Activity
The Activities screen displays the Activities you created for the remote. You can start an Activity by touching the item on the screen.
Switching between Activities
To select a new Activity, press the Activities button, and then select the Activity you want to enjoy.
The Harmony 1100i takes care of powering on the needed devices, and powering off the ones not needed.
Turning off your devices
Press the system off button to power off all the devices used in an Activity.
You don’t have to press the system off button when switching between Activities. When switching to a new Activity, the Harmony turns off the devices from the old Activity and turns on the devices for the new Activity. For example, if you switch from watching a DVD to watching TV, the Harmony turns off the DVD player, turns on the cablebox, but leaves the TV on because it’s still in use.

Using the Help button
When you start an Activity, the Harmony 1100i sends out commands to turn your devices on and sets them to the right input. However, if someone walks between your Harmony 1100i and the TV when you press Watch TV, or you’re too far away from the system when you start an Activity, or the remote isn’t aimed at your entertainment system, the command may not reach the device. This causes the device to not respond and your Harmony 1100i becomes “out of sync” with your devices. The Help feature guides you
through a series of questions to help you x the problem and bring your devices back “in
sync” with your remote.
10
To use the Help feature to get your Harmony 1100i back “in sync” with your entertainment system, on the Harmony remote screen:
Press the 1. Help button. Answer the questions on the Harmony 1100i screen by selecting 2. Yes or No.
Based on your answers, the Harmony 1100i re-sends the necessary commands to synchronize the power and input settings for that Activity.
When you complete this process, the Harmony 1100i is back “in sync” with your devices.
Before using the Help button, make sure you’ve addressed the cause of the problem, such as removing any obstacles from the line of sight.
Controlling your devices individually
Activities
When you rst set up an Activity, the Harmony Remote Software automatically assigns
common commands for you to use in that Activity. For example, when you set up Watch TV, the Harmony Remote Software maps the channel and volume buttons in that Activity so that you can change channels and adjust the volume.
You may need a command that you use only once in awhile that is not in the Activity. To do this, from the Harmony remote:
From your main Activity page, press the Settings icon . 1. Select the Device for which you need the command.2.
Cycle through the list of commands until you nd the command you need. 3.
Once you’ve nished, return to Activities for optimal control of your entertainment
system.
Charging your remote
Your Harmony 1100i comes with a charging station. The charging station plugs into a wall outlet and charges the battery every time you put the remote on it. All you have to do is pick up the remote, use it, and place it back on the charging station when you’re done to make sure it stays charged.
