Logitech SST-659 User Manual - Page 4

SST-659 User Manual Thursday, October 16, 2003 Smart State Technology Smart State TechnologyTM is what allows the Harmony Remote to control your entire entertainment system with just one touch. For example, when you select an Activity (e.g. "Watch a Movie"), the SSTTM instantaneously evaluates the current state of all your individual entertainment devices and then sends the appropriate commands for perfect configuration. In other words, the Harmony will turn on your TV, VCR and Receiver, set the inputs, and even start the VCR playing. With SSTTM, you will never need to program macros to control your system simply and perfectly. If your Harmony Remote gets out of sync with your entertainment devices, press the Help button. For more information, read the "Using your Harmony Remote" chapter in this manual. Activities The Harmony Remote SST -659 gives you 4 dedicated buttons for selecting Activities. Press any one of the first 3 buttons to jump directly to your favorite Activities, or press the "More Activities" button to choose other Activities from the Display. Different homes have different entertainment devices and your Activities will be unique, so your Harmony will let you choose from the Activities that are relevant to you! To find out how to set-up your Activity buttons read the "Customizing your Harmony Remote" chapter of this manual. Modes Once you have selected an Activity to enjoy, the functionality of each button on your Harmony Remote is automatically configured to that Activity. In addition the Custom Buttons and Display will give you access to other commands for that Activity which cannot be set to the standard buttons. This is known as the Activity mode. Within each Activity you can change how the Harmony Remote behaves by switching into one of 3 alternative modes; Sound mode puts the emphasis on controlling the sound fields of the device that you have chosen to control your sound (e.g. Stereo Receiver); Picture mode puts the emphasis on controlling the picture of the device that you have chosen to view your pictures (e.g. TV or Projector); and Device mode which gives you access to all of the possible commands for every one of the devices that are included in your Harmony Remote configuration. To understand more about how the Harmony Remote works in each different Mode, read the "Using your Harmony Remote" chapter in this manual. To find out how to change the function of buttons in each of your Harmony Remote Modes read the "Customizing your Harmony Remote" chapter of this manual.
