Customizing buttons and on-screen commands
Harmony allows you to customize the commands that each button sends, or what commands appear in your
Activity list. These button mappings may be unique for each of your Activities. This allows each button or screen to
have different functions based on context. For example, in your Watch a DVD Activity, the yellow button may
perform the eject command, while in your Listen to Music Activity this same yellow button may be used to pull up
your Favorite preset.
When customizing your Harmony remote you may find that commands have slightly different names than those of
your original remote. For example, Select, OK, and Enter often perform the same action, but may be named
differently based on the original manufacturer.
Activities mode
When you select an Activity to map buttons for, the buttons only perform the assigned functions while the activity
is in progress for which they were mapped. If you want to assign a button function for all Activities, you will need to
do it for each individual Activity.
