Controlling Individual Devices
Press
DEVICE
to enter Device
mode. Device mode gives you access to all the possible commands for
each device included in your Harmony remote configuration. To access Device mode you do not need to
be in an Activity. However, you should never need to use Device mode during normal use of your
Harmony remote. This mode should only be used to send a specific command to a specific device.
You can eliminate the use of Device mode by customizing your Activities.
Example
You can put commands on the screen (LCD) or customize specific buttons for the commands.
See
Customizing Your Harmony Remote
.
At any time, press
DEVICE
to switch into this mode. Once in Device mode, the Harmony remote will
display a list of all the devices you have in your configuration. Select a device from the list and the
Harmony remote will only control the device features for the device.
Example
If you choose Television as the device, the number, volume and channel buttons will all control
your television.
Press
DEVICE
to return to Activity mode.
Using the Teletext Buttons
When you press any of the
Teletext
buttons, page 100 (the home page for
Teletext) will appear on the television (it may take a few seconds for the page
to appear). The Teletext page will completely replace the television picture, but
sound will still be available. Each Teletext page has a unique 3-digit page
number; all pages can be accessed by entering the 3-digit page number using
the numbered channel buttons on your Harmony remote.
While Teletext is the default setting for these buttons in the Watch TV Activity, you can customize these
buttons to send different commands in other Activities. See

Activity
