Step 4: Setting Up Activities During this step, the Web wizard will ask questions about how your entertainment devices are connected and how they are used during each activity, such as Watch a DVD, Listen to Music, or Watch TV. As the Web wizard helps to set
up each activity, the wizard may ask questions such as, “To watch a DVD, what does you’re your television need to be on?” Based on what the Harmony database already knows about your television, it will provide a recommended choice of inputs (see above) and a few other possible answers. If none of the choices appears correct, click on the Adjust the Inputs button within the Tip Center on the right side of your browser window. After all of the activities are set up, you are ready for the final step of the process: updating the remote.
Step 5: Updating the
Remote
Once you have finished the first four steps, your account is filled with all of the information the remote needs to completely control your entertainment system. This data is then processed and downloaded into the Harmony remote’s flash memory via the USB cable.
Keep in mind that because everyone's entertainment devices are different, the wizards may not get things exactly right the first time. Also, after basic setup is complete, you may decide to customize many of the buttons and LCD display options.
At any time, you can go back to the Member Home Page (shown at right) and adjust the settings, or run portions of the setup wizard again.
This Harmony member home page shows the different activities that have been set up on the right, and the devices the make up the system on the left.
