entertainment. The Activities button puts control for all your devices in one convenient
location. You can go from watching TV to watching a DVD to listening to music with the

your entertainment system. The guided online setup walks you through the step-by-step
conguration of your Harmony One with your entertainment system and then you’ll be
ready to sit back and enjoy!
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 One works
The Harmony One is an Activity-based infrared (IR) universal remote control. Using the
Harmony Remote Software, you can congure the Harmony One to control up to 15 devices.
The Harmony One delivers powerful Activity-based control by using Smart State Technology®. This technology allows the Harmony One to keep track of the devices it controls,
so it always knows which of your devices are on. Using Smart State Technology®, the Harmony One 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 One works. Things like watching a DVD,
listening to radio, playing a game are all examples of Activities you can set up for your
remote using the Harmony Remote Software.
When you select an Activity, your Harmony One sends a series of commands to your
entertainment system to turn on the necessary devices and congure them for the
selected Activity. After you select an Activity, your Harmony One assigns the buttons on
your remote so they control the proper devices and the screen displays other commands
for that Activity.
For information on how to select an Activity, or how to switch between Activities, see
Selecting an Activity.
Devices are the components of your entertainment system. They’re things like your TV,
cable box, DVD player, or game system.
Inputs are how your devices are connected. For example, if your DVD player is connected
to your TV using the Component 1 input, then the TV needs to be set to Component 1 to
display the DVD picture properly.

Using the Help button
Because obstacles or distance can interfere with the signals the Harmony One sends
when it starts an Activity (for example, someone walks between your Harmony One and
the TV when you press Watch TV, or you’re very far away from the system when you start
an Activity), your Harmony One can become “out of sync” with your devices.
To x the problem, use the help feature on your Harmony One.
On the remote, press the Help button.
1.
Answer the questions on the Harmony One’s screen by selecting Yes or No.
2.
Based on your answers, the Harmony One re-sends the necessary commands to
synchronize with your devices.
When you’re done with this process, the Harmony One will be “in sync” with your
devices.
Before using the Help button, be sure you’ve addressed the cause of
the problem, such as removing any obstacles from the line of sight.
