If your device doesn’t react to a command from the Harmony 900, it may be because the
delay setting needs to be adjusted. By default, different devices take different amounts of
time to react to a command from a remote control. To accommodate these differences in
your devices, the Harmony 900 uses several types of delays, or speed settings, to control
your devices.
Any of these delays can be adjusted from your Harmony Remote Software account.
To adjust the delay between IR commands, go to your account in the Harmony Remote
Software:
Click the 1. Devices tab.
Select the device for which you want to apply the change and click 2. Settings.
Select 3. Adjust the delays (speed settings).
Click4. Next.
Follow the online instructions.5.
Inter-key Delay
The Inter-Key Delay is the amount of time allotted for commands to be sent between
button presses.
Example: Any time I press volume up multiple times in a row, for my AV Receiver it takes
a long time to increase the volume. I would like my devices to respond quicker to these
presses.
Power On Delay
The Power On Delay is the amount of time that a device needs to “warm up” before
receiving another command. For instance, when you turned on a device, you may notice
that the device needs a certain amount of time before it can receive another command
from the remote.
Example: Every time I turn on my system with an Activity, my TV powers on but doesn’t go
to the correct input. However, it does go to the correct input when switching between
Activities when the TV is already on. The Help button fixes it each time, but I don’t want
to use the Help button every time.
Inter-Device Delay
The Inter-Device Delay is the amount of time between commands for different devices
when you start an Activity. The Inter-Device Delay is also the time between the next
sequence of commands that are sent to other devices within an Activity.
Example: My DVD player doesn’t always turn on when I start the Activity. I can get the
DVD player to turn on by using the Help button however I don’t want to use Help every
time.
