- Page 2 Introduction The Harmony Remote is an Internet powered universal remote control. For the first time you will be able to control your home entertainment devices as a system, not as a collection of components. Your Harmony Remote can control most devices that understand infrared (IR) signals. The configuration of your Harmony Remote is simple.
- Page 3 How is the H688 different? The H688 takes care of many tasks automatically by interacting with your entertainment system through Activities. Each Activity controls just those devices that are needed. For example, in the "Play Video" Activity, the Harmony Remote switches on and controls the television and VCR together. You do not have to program any macros to achieve this level of automated and simple control.
