![]() For example if you Watch TV on HDMI1 and need to go to YCBCR1 for Watch a DVD, then the Harmony will know to send four Analog commands to your TV. The Harmony remote will keep track of the last input it selected and will send the appropriate commands to get to the next needed input. Yes, your Logitech Harmony 650 can select the correct input when switching between activities every time. Can’t it just program by the right NAME of input source instead? Thanks. My question is, if Harmony programs simply by counting the number of toggles, can it get to the right source consistently? Depending on which source it was on when the TV was turned off, the number count will need to be different to get to the intended source. The activity setting is almost always one button press short of the right source (for TV and DVD). To watch a DVD, I cycle through the analog button TV, AV1, AV2, YCBCR1, Video, to get to YCBCR1). To watch TV I cycle through the digital button DTV, HDMI1, HDMI2, VGA and YCBCR2 to get to HDMI1. My TV remote has two source buttons for digital (PC) and analogy (video) sources, and I need to toggle to the right source with each button (i.e. It didn’t help me because it almost never get to the right input source on the first try. It worked because it recognized all of the commands on my devices. The remote technically worked, but it didn’t help me a lot. I got the 650 from Amazon last night and was eager to make it work. For more information on customizing the buttons on the Harmony 650, refer to this article The buttons on the Harmony 650 are customizable, so even if they are not there by default, or you want to change the function of a button, customizing the buttons is simple. ![]() You would then need to customize the buttons in your Watch TV Activity to add Swap, PIP and Search. The Skip Back and Skip Forward commands for your DISH DVR would be assigned to the Skip Back and Skip Forward buttons on the Harmony Remote. Since the Harmony Remote does the input switching for you, there really isn’t a need for the input command, but if you really wanted to add it to the Activity, you could. When you select the Watch TV Activity, the View Mode button for your TV which I assumes changes the Aspect ratio between Wide, Full, etc… would appear on the LCD of the remote. For example, Channel +/-, Guide, Info, etc… would control the DISH Network DVR, while Volume +/- would control the TV. The buttons on your TV are then configured to control your devices. This means that when you press the Watch TV button, it will send the signals to power on your TV, DISH Network DVR and set your TV to the correct input. Enjoy!įirst let me start off by explaining that the Harmony 650 remote is an Activity based remote. However, if you have your devices behind a closed cabinet and there is not direct line-of-sight for control, the Harmony 900 would be the best option for you. In that case, I’d recommend checking out the Harmony 700 or Harmony One. Since you have six remotes, I assume you have at least 6 devices. In fact, by adding new devices, you are contributing to our growing database and the device will be there for others who are looking for it in the future. Have no fear – a Harmony remote can easily be taught to control any device. There is an easy way for you to find the answer yourself here: Īlthough we update our device list regularly, there are always new devices entering the market. The problem you are describing is exactly what a Logitech Harmony remote solves! We get lots of emails from customers interested in buying a Logitech Harmony remote but wanting to know whether our remotes work with their devices before making their final purchase. I just can’t buy one with that limitation. I was extremely excited to see the four color buttons on these new devices (please keep this as a standard), but was deflated by the 5-device limit. And it is not limited to 5 devices, yet was in the same price range as the ones that are now 5-device limits. I could use one of the color buttons for my DVR list, too – without have to repurpose one of the other buttons (“no honey, I know it says CLEAR but it really pulls up the DVR list”. It has the four-color buttons, two of which were labelled “Guide” and “Live”, just like my DVR controls. I have the XBox 360 version of the Harmony remote, which I’ve always thought was the best remote for use with a DVR. From your own chart plus your other responses, it’s clear that is the main differentiator between the low end and high end models. Add me to the list of people extremely bothered by Logitech’s decision to gimp their remotes to only allow 5 devices, to push people to their high-dollar versions.
