Getting to know your remote
How your Harmony 650 works
The Harmony 650 is an Activity-based infrared (IR) universal remote control. Using the Harmony Remote Software, you can configure the Harmony 650 to control up to 5 devices. The Harmony 650 delivers powerful Activity-based control by using Smart State Technology. This technology allows the Harmony 650 to keep track of the devices it controls, so it always knows which of your devices are on. Using Smart State Technology, the Harmony 650 switches effortlessly from watching a DVD to listening to music on the sound system with the touch of a button.
Activities, devices, and inputs
Activities are the basis for how the Harmony 650 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 650 sends a series of commands to your entertainment system to turn on the necessary devices and configure them for the selected Activity. After you select an Activity, your Harmony 650 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. Theyre things like your TV, cable box, DVD player, or game console. Inputs are how your devices are connected. For example, if your DVD player is connected to your TV using the Video 1 input, then the TV needs to be set to Video 1 to display the DVD picture properly.

Adding additional features to your Harmony 650
Its possible that a devices commands are not recognized. Maybe you have a very rare device? Or a new one? Although we update our device list regularly, there are always new devices in the market. To remedy this, you can teach your Harmony how to control this device by using the devices original remote.
Teaching your Harmony 650 new commands using your old remote
With the Learn IR feature of the Harmony 650 and the Harmony Remote Software, you can use your devices original remote to teach your Harmony 650. You should only need to use this feature when Logitechs device list doesnt have your device listed, or theres a button you want to use thats missing from the device configuration. To use the Harmony 650s learning feature, go to the Harmony Remote Software. 1. Select the Devices tab. 2. Click Learn IR located next to the device you want to control. 3. Follow the online instructions. 5-10 cm (2 - 5)

Naming a new command your remote learned
When you teach your Harmony a new command, you need to give the command a name. This way, you can refer to the command by name in various locations in the Harmony Remote Software. Logitech recommends you use the default names listed on the Learn IR page. By using the default names, you minimize the chance of a button being assigned incorrectly on the Harmony 650. Naming conventions When naming a command for which there is no default name on the Learn IR page, use the following naming conventions to make button assignment easier: Dont use spaces or special characters such as /, & or * in the name. Capitalize the start of words (for example, NextDisc, ModeDigital). Start the command name with its main function (for example, VolumeRearUp, VolumeRearDown, VolumeFrontUp). This helps group related commands in lists.
Start infrared commands that select inputs (for example, on a stereo receiver) with the prefix Input. Dont name the input based on what youve connected to your device, rather name it based on what its called on the front of the device, or on the remote control (for example, InputAux, InputVideo1, InputTape, InputDVD).
Adjusting delays and speed settings on your Harmony remote
If your device doesnt react to a command from the Harmony 650, it may be because the delay setting needs to be adjusted. By default, different devices take different amounts of time to react to a command from a remote control. To accommodate these differences in your devices, the Harmony 650 uses several types of delays, or speed settings, to control your devices. You can change the first three types of delays using the Harmony Remote Software: Power On Delay, Inter-key Delay, and Input Delay. You use the Help button on your Harmony remote to change the Inter-Device Delay. Power On Delay The Power On Delay is the amount of time that a device needs to warm up before receiving another command. For instance, when you turned on a device, you may notice that the device needs a certain amount of time before it can receive another command from the remote. Example: Every time I turn on my system with an Activity, my TV powers on but doesnt go to the correct input. However, it does go to the correct input when switching between Activities when the TV is already on. The Help button fixes it each time, but I dont want to use the Help button every time. Inter-key Delay The Inter-Key Delay is the amount of time allotted for commands to be sent between button presses. Example: Any time I press volume up multiple times in a row, for my AV Receiver it takes a long time to increase the volume. I would like my devices to respond quicker to these presses. Input Delay The Input Delay is the amount of time that the remote takes when switching between inputs. Many devices need a certain amount of time before changing to the next input in the input list. Example: My TV doesnt always go to the correct input when switching between Activities and I have already verified that the input list is correct.

To adjust the Power On Delay, Inter-key Delay or the Input Delay, from the Harmony Remote Software: 1. Click the Devices tab. 2. Select the device for which you want to apply the change and click Settings. 3. Select Adjust the delays (speed settings). 4. Click Next. 5. Follow the online instructions. Inter-Device Delay The Inter-Device Delay is the amount of time between commands for different devices when you start an Activity. The Inter-Device Delay is also the time between the next sequence of commands that are sent to other devices within an Activity. Example: My DVD player doesnt always turn on when I start the Activity. I can get the DVD player to turn on by using the Help button however I dont want to use Help every time. To adjust the Inter-Device Delay: 1. Press and hold the Help button on your remote for 5 seconds. 2. When prompted, confirm that you want to enter advanced delay mode by selecting Yes. 3. Select the device you want to adjust the delay for. 4. Select Change Delay. 5. Select Inter Device Delay. 6. Adjust the inter device delay by selecting + to increase or - to decrease. 7. When you are finished, select Done. Repeats The Repeats are the number of times the remote repeats a command for a device to properly respond to the command. For instance, many devices need longer or shorter command repetitions to respond properly. Example: Any time I press channel up, my Digital Set Top Box skips two channels at a time. To adjust the Repeats, from the Harmony Remote Software: 1. Click Troubleshoot at the top of the Harmony Remote Software window. 2. Select the device you want to adjust repeats for, and click Next. 3. Select Device responds to some commands either too many times or only occasionally and click Next. 4. Adjust the repeats by selecting a higher or lower number, and click SAVE.
Maintaining your Harmony 650
Upgrading your Harmony 650 firmware
Your Harmony 650 contains internal software, called firmware. The remotes firmware is similar to your computers operating system. Logitech updates the firmware for your remote to ensure youre always getting the most from your Harmony 650. Generally, when you connect your remote to your computer the Harmony Remote Software updates your remote automatically if new firmware is available. However, sometimes you may need to update the firmware manually. To upgrade your Harmony 650 firmware: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Start the Harmony Remote Software. Connect your Harmony to your computer using the USB cable. Click Downloads. Click Firmware. Follow the online instructions.
Testing your remote settings after a software upgrade
After you finish making any changes to your Harmony 650s configuration, you should test the new set up to ensure everything is working the way you expect. This testing process is the same as the you did when you set up your Harmony 650 for the first time. For more detailed information, see Testing your setup.

Upgrading to a new Harmony remote
When you upgrade to a newer model Harmony, you can transfer the configuration from your old remote to your new remote. To upgrade to a new model Harmony remote: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Start the Harmony Remote Software. Click Remote Settings. Click Manage Remotes. Click Replace. Follow the online instructions.
Troubleshooting problems with your Harmony 650
In this section, youll find some commonly reported issues and the suggested solutions. These solutions may help you fix problems youre experiencing. If you still cannot fix the problem, refer to Getting help with your Harmony 650. The TV doesnt turn on when starting an Activity, but using the Help button on the remote fixes the issue. Try increasing the Inter-Device Delay for your television. Sometimes commands are sent too close together for different devices and need to be spaced out more.
The TV doesnt go to the right input when starting Activities. Using the Harmony Remote Software, check your Activity to ensure the Activity is set up to use the correct input your TV needs to be set on to get a picture. Next, check that the inputs are in the correct order for the Harmony 650 to know how to cycle through each input. If youre still experiencing trouble, try raising the InterDevice and Input Delays for your TV.
When pressing buttons in an Activity, the remote sends the command twice. Try lowering the repeats for the device that is receiving the command. You can do this by using the troubleshoot option in the Harmony Remote Software.
When you try to add a new TV to your account, you get a message informing you that you havent entered the correct model number. The model number for most devices can be found on the front of the device. If it isnt there, it can be found on a label on the back or bottom of the device. The model number shouldnt be confused with the serial number or the model number of the devices remote control, as many different devices by a manufacturer can share the same remote.
The On Demand command isnt on the Harmony 650 for the Watch TV Activity. You can map the command to any unused button on the Harmony 650 or on the remotes screen. The command is likely in our database, but wasnt mapped to the Activity. If were missing the command, the Harmony 650 can learn it from your original remote. For more information, see Teaching your Harmony 650 new commands using your old remote.
The Harmony Remote software in unable to communicate with the Harmony 650. Try disabling any Internet security software you might have including firewalls and anti-virus software.
Figuring out which inputs your system uses
One of the most important parts to creating your Activities for your Harmony 650 is determining which inputs your system uses for each device. This chapter gives you some suggestions on how to figure out which inputs your entertainment system uses if youre not sure. Inputs are how the devices in your entertainment system are connected. For example, your DVD or cable box is connected to your TV through an input. If you use an AV Receiver to control the sound on your devices, for example if you have a home theater system, this chapter will also help you figure out the inputs for your audio connections. After you know how your devices are connected, you can use the information to create your Activities using the Harmony Remote Software.

Step 3 Listen to the sound
You need to complete this step only if you have a separate device (called an AV Receiver) that manages the sound for your entertainment system. For example, you have a home theater system or connect your TV to your stereo so the sound comes out of your stereo speakers. You must use your AV Receivers original remote control to switch between inputs. 1. Using your AV Receivers original remote, select each input one-at-a-time. 2. For each input, note which device appears to be connected to that input. For example, if you switch to OPTICAL 1 and hear the sound from your DVD playing, you know your DVD player is connected to OPTICAL 1. 3. Repeat step 2 for each input.
