Introduction

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 devices.

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

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 Harmony One switches

effortlessly from watching a DVD to listening to music on the stereo with the touch of a button.

Getting to know your remote

Activities

are the basis for for 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.
