4.If no pattern is found, the signal will be stored as-is in its original format.

5.If a pattern is found, the Harmony remote control software converts the signal into a format for convenient storage.

Either way, the signal is then available for you to assign to a button on your Harmony remote.

Naming an Infrared Command

When the Harmony remote learns an infrared command, give the command a name. This way you can refer to this command by name in various locations of the online setup process. It is best to use the default names listed in the Learn infrared commands step so that automatic button function assignments can be applied to your Harmony remote.

Example

If the Harmony remote learns the volume button infrared commands from your original remote control, name the commands "VolumeUp" and "VolumeDown" (i.e. with no space, and capitalization as shown). The Harmony remote control software looks for commands with these names to automatically assign them to the volume up and down buttons on the Harmony remote.

Naming Conventions

When naming a command for which there is no default name under the Learn infrared commands option, use the following naming conventions to make button assignment and sharing infrared commands easier:

Capitalize the start of words (e.g. NextDisc, ModeDigital).

Start the command name with its main function (e.g. VolumeRearUp, VolumeRearDown, VolumeFrontUp, VolumeFrontDown). This helps group related commands in lists.

For infrared commands that select inputs (e.g. on a stereo receiver), start with the prefix "Input".

Do not name the input based on what you have connected to your device, rather name it based on what it is called on the front of the device, or on the remote control (e.g. InputAux, InputVideo1, InputTape, InputDVD, InputVCR).
