Getting to know your remote

How your Harmony 900 works

The Harmony 900 is an Activity-based universal remote control. Using the Harmony Remote Software, you can configure the Harmony 900 to control up to 15 devices.

Devices are the components of your entertainment system. They’re things like your TV, cable box, DVD player, or game console.

The Harmony 900 delivers powerful Activity-based control by using Smart State Technology®.

This technology allows the Harmony 900 to keep track of the devices it controls, so it always knows which of your devices are on. Using Smart State Technology®, the Harmony 900 switches effortlessly from watching a DVD to listening to music on the stereo with the touch of a button.

Activities

Activities are the basis for how the Harmony 900 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 900 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 900 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 Activities.
