Getting to know your remote

How your Harmony One works

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

The Harmony One delivers powerful Activity-based control by using Smart State Technol- ogy®. This technology allows the Harmony One to keep track of the devices it controls, so it always knows which of your devices are on. Using Smart State Technology®, the Har- mony One 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 One 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 One 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 One 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 an Activity.

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

Inputs are how your devices are connected. For example, if your DVD player is connected to your TV using the Component 1 input, then the TV needs to be set to Component 1 to display the DVD picture properly.
