Determining your inputs

One of the most important steps in creating your Activities for your Harmony 650 is determining which inputs your system uses for each device. If you’re not sure, this section offers some suggestions on how to figure out which inputs your entertainment system uses.

Inputs are connections on the back of your devices. Using inputs, you connect your devices to each other. For example, your DVD or cable box may be connected to your TV through an HDMI input.

After you know how your devices are connected, you can use the information to create your Activities using My Harmony.

Step 1— Turn on all your devices

To determine which devices are using which inputs, you should start by turning on all the devices in your entertainment system.

If possible, you should start playing something in your DVD player, CD player, VCR, etc.

By having all your devices on, it’s easier to see how they’re connected.

You can use the Device worksheet on page 11 to keep track of which devices are connected using which inputs.

Step 2 — Watch the TV

In this step, you must use your TV’s original remote control to switch between inputs.

1.Using your TV’s original remote, press the input button and 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 HDMI 1 and see your DVD playing, you know your DVD player is connected to HDMI 1.

Step 3 — Listen to the sound

You need to complete this step only if you have a separate device (called an audio receiver) that manages the sound for your entertainment system. For example, you may have a home theater system or connect your TV to your stereo so that the sound comes out of your stereo speakers.

You must use your audio receiver’s original remote control to switch between inputs.

1.Using your audio receiver’s original remote, press the input button and 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.
