Introduction

The Harmony 900 is an Activity-based universal remote control. Using the Harmony Re-

mote Software, you can conﬁgure the Harmony 900 to control up to 15 devices.

Devices are the components of your entertainment system. They’re things like your TV,

cable box, DVD player, or game console.

The Harmony 900 delivers powerful Activity-based control by using Smart State Technol-

ogy®. This technology allows the Harmony 900 to keep track of the devices it controls,

so it always knows which of your devices are on. Using Smart State Technology®, the Har-

mony 900 switches effortlessly from watching a DVD to listening to music on the stereo

with the touch of a button.

How your Harmony 900 works

Activities

Activities are the basis for how the Harmony 900 works. Things like watching a DVD,

listening to radio, playing a game are all examples of Activities you can set up for your

remote using the Harmony Remote Software.

When you select an Activity, your Harmony 900 sends a series of commands to your

entertainment system to turn on the necessary devices and conﬁgure them for the

selected Activity. After you select an Activity, your Harmony 900 assigns the buttons on

your remote so they control the proper devices and the screen displays other commands

for that Activity.
