How is the Harmony Remote SST-659 different? 

The Harmony Remote SST -659 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 "Watch a Movie" 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. 

You will instantly recognize most of the buttons on your Harmony Remote. This is because these 
buttons are standard across many remote controls and we know that they work for you. However, there 
are buttons and other hardware that may not be so familiar to you. It is these extra buttons and hardware 

which give you the 

Special Features

 that only the Harmony Remote can offer. 

  

Activity Buttons:

 Controlling your system is made easy with 

Activity buttons such as "Watch TV" and "Listen to Music". With 
one press of a button all of the appropriate devices will switch on 

and the Harmony Remote will give you control of the key functions 
of each device. 

Custom Buttons:

 Use the 6 buttons at the side of the display to 

select the corresponding command. Use the 'NEXT' button to 
display the next page of commands. 

OFF:

 When you are finished with your entertainment system, turn 

all devices off with one button press. 

HELP:

 To resolve any issues with enjoying an Activity, press the 

'HELP' button. Answer the questions on your Harmony Remote 
Display and when you're done, the Harmony Remote will have reset 
your devices so that you are enjoying the Activity again. 

Alternatively, hold the 'HELP' button down for 2 seconds and the 
Harmony Remote will display the command for every button. 

DEVICE:

 Lists all your devices in the Display and allows you to 

select and fully control any device directly. 

SOUND:

 Control the advanced features of your Sound processing 

device. 

PICTURE:

 Control the advanced features of your video output 

device. 

MEDIA:

 Gives access to media listings such as the Harmony 

Electronic Program Guide (EPG) or CD Jukebox Media Listings. 
Note: There is an additional charge for these features. Call the 

Harmony Support Team toll free at 1-866-291-1505 to find out how 
to get these additional features.
