Getting to know your remote

How your Harmony 1100i works

The Harmony 1100i is an Activity-based infrared (IR) universal remote control. Using the Harmony Remote Software, you can configure the Harmony 1100i to control up to 15 devices.

The Harmony 1100i uses Smart State Technology® to deliver powerful Activity-based control. This technology allows the Harmony 1100i to control your home theatre as a whole. It knows which devices need to be turned on and which inputs the devices need to be set to. Using Smart State Technology®, the Harmony 1100i switches effortlessly from watching a DVD to listening to music on the stereo with the touch of a button.

Activities, devices, and inputs

Activities are the basis for how the Harmony 1100i works. Watching a DVD, listening to the radio, and playing a game are all examples of Activities you can set up for your remote using the Harmony Remote Software.

During setup, a step-by-step wizard walks you through creating these Activities for your system.

When you select an Activity, your Harmony 1100i sends a series of commands to your entertainment system to turn on the necessary devices and configure them for the selected Activity. All the buttons you need for that Activity are automatically at your fingertips.

Devices are the components that make up your entertainment system. The TV, cable box, DVD player, and game system are all examples of Devices.

Inputs are how your devices are connected. For example, if you look at the back of your TV, there are a number of ports where you can connect your devices. These are inputs.
