Teaching Infrared (IR) Commands The Harmony remote can learn infrared commands from other remote controls, and should only be used in situations where the Harmony Remote web site's infrared database does not already contain an infrared command you would like to use. Determine the device you would like to send the infrared command to: 1. Click More Options next to the Device icon. 2. Click Learn infrared commands. Using the Infrared Sensor The Harmony remote has an infrared sensor at the end opposite to the USB connector. The Harmony remote uses this sensor to learn commands from original device remotes. The following steps outline what happens when you press a button on your original remote control: 1. The infrared sensor on the Harmony remote learns the infrared signal. 2. The Harmony remote uploads it via the USB cable (and your computer's internet connection) to the Harmony Remote web site. 3. The web site will try to find a matching pattern for the infrared signal. 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 web site 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 you teach an infrared command to the Harmony Remote, give the command a name. This way you can refer to this command by name in various locations on the web site. It is best to use the default names listed on the Language page on the web site because the web wizards can perform automatic button function assignments for you. For example, if you teach the volume button infrared commands from your original remote control, name them "VolumeUp" and "VolumeDown" (i.e. with no space, and capitalization as shown). The web wizards look 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 on the Language page, use the following naming conventions to make button assignment and sharing infrared commands easier:
