LOGITECH HARMONY 700 USER MANUAL
Introduction
The Logitech Harmony 700 remote is your answer to effortless home entertainment. With one-button Activities, you can go from watching TV to watching a DVD or listening to music with a single touch. The guided online setup steps you through the
conguration of your Harmony 700, so you’ll soon be ready to sit back and relax!
Whether you’re new to Harmony products or you consider yourself an expert, this User
Manual provides you with the information you need to get you going.
Getting to know your Harmony 700
How your Harmony 700 works
The Harmony 700 is an Activity-based infrared (IR) universal remote control. Using Harmony software, you can set up the Harmony 700 to control up to 8 devices.
The Harmony 700 delivers powerful Activity-based control using Smart State Technology®. This technology allows the Harmony 700 to keep track of the devices it controls, so it always knows which of your devices are on.
Devices, inputs, and Activities
To make the most of your Harmony 700, you need to understand the following terms: devices, inputs, and Activities.
Devices Devices are the components of your entertainment system. They’re things like your TV,
cable box, DVD player, or game console.
Inputs
Inputs are connections on the back of your devices. Inputs are used to connect your devices to each other. When you want to go from watching TV to watching a DVD or listening to music, you typically need to switch your TV and/or audio receiver to the
correct input. For example, if your DVD player is connected to your TV using the HDMI
1 input, then the TV needs to be set to HDMI 1 to watch a DVD.
Activities An Activity is something you do with your entertainment system, like watching TV, listening to music, or playing a game. Your Harmony remote automates Activities so that a single button turns on all the necessary devices for each Activity, and switches
them to the required inputs. For example, pressing the Watch TV button might turn
on your TV, your cable or satellite receiver, and your audio receiver, and switch to the correct video and audio inputs.
For information on how to select an Activity, or how to switch between Activities, see
Selecting an Activity on page 4.

What’s on the Harmony 700’s screen
Activities
When you press an Activity button – Watch TV, Watch a Movie, or Listen to Music – the Activity starts, and the
commands for that Activity appear on the screen. The commands that appear may apply to any of the devices that you use for that Activity. For example, if you’re watching a DVD, your remote screen displays functions and commands for your DVD, your TV, and other devices you use in the Watch a DVD Activity.
When you press the More Activities button, the remote screen shows all Activities you
have dened.
Devices
When you are viewing Activities on your remote’s screen, you switch to device mode by pressing the center button below Devices. The Harmony 700’s screen displays a list of your devices. From this screen, you can select a device, then view the commands that are available for that device.
Favorite channels
If you have favorite channels set up on your Harmony 700, they will appear on the remote’s screen when you start the Watch TV Activity then select Favorite Channels. If the favorite you are looking for doesn’t appear on rst
page, press the right arrow button to move to the next page of favorites.
IR Status Indicator
The status indicator ashes in the bottom right corner whenever command is being
sent from your Harmony 700.
Navigating screen options
The buttons surrounding the remote’s screen allow you to navigate the screen options.
The arrow buttons help you move through each page of options, while the side buttons allow you to choose an option.
The center button lets you switch between Activities and devices, or return to the devices list.
The upper right corner of the screen shows the current page number and how many pages there are in total.

Using your Harmony 700
Selecting an Activity
You can start an Activity by pressing the appropriate Activity button or by pressing the More Activities button and selecting one of the Activities that appear on the remote’s screen.
To switch to a new Activity, press the appropriate Activity button or use the More Activities button to choose another Activity.
The Harmony 700 will take care of powering on the required devices, powering off the ones not needed, and changing inputs if necessary.
Using the Remote Assistant
The Harmony 700’s Remote Assistant appears on the remote screen when you disconnect the remote after syncing, and when you start an Activity. It guides you
through the Activity. For example, when you select the Watch TV Activity, the Remote Assistant asks you if the TV is on and if the other devices in the Activity are congured
properly.
You can temporarily turn off the Remote Assistant by pressing the button beside the Turn off Assistant option on the remote’s screen. The Remote Assistant will reappear
after the next sync.
Controlling your devices individually
In some cases, you may want to control a device individually. You may, for example,
want to access a function not included in the current Activity (such as picture-in­picture).
When you are in an Activity or on the More Activities screen, pressing the center button shows you a list of your devices. Choose the device you want to control. If
necessary, use the arrow buttons to nd the page with the desired device. Once you
select the device, the Harmony 700 screen shows the commands for that device. Choose the desired command.
Once you’ve nished, press the center button to return to Activities mode.
If you nd yourself regularly switching to device mode to perform a
particular function, you should consider adding that function to an Activity. For more information, see Setting up Activities on page 9.
