Logitech Harmony Ultimate Activities Activities define the way you use your remote controlled devices. Examples of Activities are: Watch TV Listen to Music Watch a DVD Play a Game To create an Activity, you need to know some basic information about how your devices interact with each other in that Activity. For example, to create a basic Watch TV Activity, you need to know: Which devices you will use. In most cases, you need the following devices: A TV set A video source, such as a cable or satellite set top box Which device is used to control the volume Which device is used to change channels Which input is used on the TV set to view the video source Inputs determine how your devices are connected. For example, if your DVD player is connected to the Video 2 input on your TV, then the TV must be set to Video 2 to display the DVD's picture. More information is provided about inputs in the instructions for Adding a Watch TV Activity. Favorites The Favorites screen allows you to view your predefined favorite TV channels and station icons (where available). Using the MyHarmony website you can select up to 50 Favorite Channels to display on the remote. Selecting a Favorite Channel will start your "Watch TV" Activity, if it's not already started, and tune directly to that channel. Using the touch screen, you can add, remove and reorder your Favorite Channels right on the remote. The Harmony App on your smartphone allows you to customize Favorite Channels unique to each smartphone. Changes made on your smartphone or on your Harmony remote only affect the device on which they are made and will not be reflected on the other devices. myharmony.com http://myharmony.com is the website where you configure your Harmony Ultimate.
