Learning Infrared (IR) Commands
The Harmony remote can learn infrared commands from other remote controls, and should only be used in
situations where the Harmony remote's infrared database does not already contain an infrared command you
would like to use.
Using the Infrared Sensor
The Harmony remote has an infrared sensor at the end opposite to the USB connector. The Harmony remote
uses this sensor to learn commands from original device remotes.
A: Your original remote
B: Your Harmony remote
C: Distance between remotes: 5-10 cm (2"-5") apart
The following steps outline what happens when you press a button on your original remote control:
1. The infrared sensor on the Harmony remote learns the infrared signal.
2. The Harmony remote uploads it via the USB cable (and your computer's internet connection) to the
Harmony remote database.
3. The Harmony remote software will try to find a matching pattern for the infrared signal.
4. If no pattern is found, the signal will be stored as-is in its original format.
5. If a pattern is found, the Harmony remote software converts the signal into a format for convenient
storage.
Either way, the signal is then available for you to assign to a button on your Harmony remote.a
Naming an Infrared Command
When you teach an infrared command to the Harmony remote, give the command a name. This way you can
refer to this command by name in various locations of the online setup process. It is best to use the default
names listed on the Learn infrared commands step so that automatic button function assignments can be
applied to your Harmony remote.
