Set up is also a breeze. All you have to do is connect your Harmony remote to your computer and a Web wizard will walk you through step-by-step for a simple set up. Then enter in the model numbers for your components, answer some easy questions about how you “watch TV” or “watch a DVD.” You´ll be controlling even the most complex system without any of the hassles of elaborate macro-programming.

Use is as easy as its setup. The Smart State Technology is exclusive for the Harmony Remote, and this is responsible for making your life a whole lot easier. Just press one of the Activity buttons, which includes the likes of ‘watch TV’ or ‘listen to music,’ and the Harmony Remote will then set up your entertainment system, without you ever having to program a ‘macro.’

No need to refer to your user manual everytime there is no sound or no picture on your electronic appliances. A ‘Help’ button is readily available for your immediate need. It will guide you through simple troubleshooting, and will eventually help you get back in control. Even the kids will love this support!
