Using Modes within an Activity
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 or default 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.
Sound Mode
When in any Activity, press the "SOUND" button to switch into this mode. Once in the Sound mode,
the Harmony Remote will place the emphasis on controlling the device that you have chosen to control
your sound. For example, if you have chosen your Stereo Receiver to control the sound in your 'Watch
a DVD' Activity, then the Sound mode will change the Harmony Remote buttons to control the Stereo
Receiver as completely as possible. In the Display you will see commands such as "Surround Field" or
"Bass+".
Press the "SOUND" or appropriate Activity button to return to the default Activity Mode.
Picture Mode
When in any Activity, press the "PICTURE" button to switch into this mode. Once in the Picture mode,
the Harmony Remote will place the emphasis on controlling the device that you have chosen to display
your video. For example, if you have chosen your Projector to display the video in your 'Watch a DVD'
Activity, then the Picture mode will change the Harmony Remote buttons to control the Projector as
completely as possible. In the Display you will see commands such as "Aspect" or "Picture Adjust".
Press the "PICTURE" or appropriate Activity button to return to the default Activity Mode.
Device Mode
When in any Activity, press the "DEVICE" button to switch into this mode. Once in the Device mode,
the Harmony Remote will display a list of all the devices that you have in your Harmony configuration.
Select a Device from the display and the Harmony Remote will place the emphasis on controlling the
device that you have chosen. For Example, is you choose the Television Device, the numbers, volume,
channel buttons will all control your television.
Press the appropriate Activity button to return to the default Activity Mode.
