  • Favorites

    "Favorites" on the Harmony are user defined entries containing a full channel change command such as "24.1" Favorites are displayed on a dedicated LCD "soft button" screen, so the user can enter the channel name such as "NBC" and on some models, downloadable icons can be used to make channel selection easier. Favorite counts are "per activity" so, it's possible to have more favorites than this limit by using multiple activities... for example, a "watch soaps" activity for her and "watch sports" activity for him... (taking cover...)

  • Tilt Motion Sensor

    Some models offer either a Tilt or Motion sensor that is used to turn on the remote's LED illumination when the user picks up the remote. The "Motion" sensors are more sensitive such that they often trigger the remote to turn on when not needed such as someone walking by or touching the table where the remote is located.

  • Macros

    Logitech has elected to use the term "sequence" to describe the ability to string multiple remote controller commands together and assign them to a single button press despite the long standardized use of the term "macro" that most universal remotes use to describe the same.
    In addtion, where there is no practical limit on the number of commands most universal remotes allow per macro, Logitech limits the maximum number of commands per macro to five.

  • Page Buttons

    The term "Page Buttons" is abitrary... Harmony uses the term to describe two additional buttons on some models marked with large "Up" and "Down" arrows. These buttons are not dedicated and can be used for any assigned command.

  • Sound and Picture Buttons

    Discussions (and lack thereof) of the "Sound & Picture" buttons available on a limited number of the harmony models make it clear that this feature has not been well documented and isn't really well understood. What do they offer???? There is no obvious info on this, but, if you pull up the software and if your remote has these buttons, when you open any activity and select "Customize Buttons" you will see a nondescript "pulldown" above and to the left of the button definitions which will show "Activity" by default. (If your remote does not offer this option (such as my 720 and 1100) the pulldown does not exist.)
    A little investigation shows that this feature is a very powerful option which allows you to completely remap the remote within each activity!!!
    When you select "Sound" or "Picture" a caption indicating the button state appears on screen. What has happened is that you are looking at a separate and complete button layout where you can customize the entire remote for different actions... for example, you are using a TV to view and an AudioVideo receiver for the sound... you can map the "Activity" to best serve the activity as a whole, then map "Sound" to give you full control over the AV Receiver if you need to tweak the sound experience with equalization, etc during the activity.
    Similarly, if you are using a Projector, you can do the same with "Picture" to give you instant access to the projector menu and controls while remaining in the activity. One example would be the need to map the cursor pad to control the TV source for use within the activity, but, in the "Picture" mode, the choice would be to map the cursor pad controls to manipulate the projector menu.
    However, in the tradition of protecting the user from himself, the button mapping for these additional maps are restricted to only the devices that logitech feels are appropriate... for example, only the audio device(s) in the current activity that are principally audio related will be offered for the "Sound" button's mapping.
    These buttons also give you a completely different set of LCD "softkeys" customizable for your needs. However, since the screen displays the button state, buttons #1 and #2 are not available on the remote although the software shows six button options, so, group in "four's" rather than "six's"
    On the 620, when you press either of these buttons, the remote remaps.
    Press the same button again, and the original activity keys are mapped and the name of the activity reappears on the LCD screen.
    Note that one unusual aspect of this temporary "remapping" of the keys is that hard keys not used for the button remain the same as they were in the activity. For example, if your primary use of the "Picture" button is to allow access to the projector's menu and cursor pad, assuming the volume buttons are not used, they will continue to control the activity's volume.
    This is a very powerful option for the serious user, but, keep in mind that it has the potential to confuse low tech users if they accidentally press one of these buttons within an activity... it probably also explains a couple of confusing incidents when I accidentally pressed them as well.

  • USB Connect Method

    The primary reason for including this column is to facilitate diagnosing Windows USB connection problems using the windows device manager. Most of the Harmony Remotes use HID (Human Interface Device) Windows USB drivers. The more recent models (the 1000 and 1100 at this writing) use USB "Network" drivers (Network Adapter as RemoteControl USB LAN LINK)
    On the Mac, All show up in Hardware -> USB -> USB Bus. (1000/1100 Belcarra Generic MDLM-BLAN, All Others, HarmonyRemote.com)
