Using the Teletext Buttons
When you press any of the Teletext button the homepage 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
televisionpicture, 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 settings for these buttons in the Watch TV Activity, you can customize these
buttons to send different commands in other Activities. See
Changing the Behavior of Buttons Within an
Activity

Displaying Help on Your Harmony Remote
From time to time when you select an Activity, the Activity may not work. This can happen when the
Harmony remote sends many infrared commands to set up all your devices for an Activity, but one or
more devices are not receiving some commands. The Harmony remote is then “out of sync” with your
devices (e.g. it thinks one of your devices is on, but it is turned off). Some of the reasons the Harmony
remote can become “out of sync” with your system are:
Someone walks between the Harmony remote and your entertainment system while an Activity is starting.
You point your Harmony remote away from your system while an Activity is starting.
There is an object blocking the line-of-sight between your Harmony remote and the system.
You are very far away from your entertainment system.
You will need to use the Help button on your Harmony remote to resynchronize the remote with your
devices. Before re-synchronizing, ensure the cause of the problem has been addressed.
Example
Remove all obstructions so that the entertainment devices can receive the infrared commands
from the Harmony remote.
