Logitech Harmony Touch

Harmony Touch at a Glance

The Harmony Touch Universal Remote brings the ﬂexibility and convenience of touch screen controls to your

home entertainment system. Using the Activities feature, you can control all of your devices from one location.

Switching between activities such as watching TV or listening to music is a quick and easy operation.

Setup is also made quick and easy using the guided online setup on myharmony.com. In addition to the Setup

Guide provided with your remote, this User Guide is designed to answer your questions and point you in the

right direction to get any additional help you need.

How your Harmony Touch Works

Harmony Touch is an activity-based Infrared (IR) universal remote control. Using the myharmony.com web-

based setup, you can control up to 15 dierent devices. Using its Smart State technology, the Harmony Touch

keeps track of the devices it controls, which allows it to always know which devices are on and o, and what

input each device is currently set to.

Some key concepts for Harmony Touch operation include:

Devices

Devices are the components of your entertainment system. Examples of devices are:

đƫ TV set

đƫ Cable or Satellite set top box

đƫ Audio Visual (AV) receiver

đƫ DVD player

đƫ Game system

Activities

Activities deﬁne the way you use your remote controlled devices. Examples of activities are:

đƫ Watching TV

đƫ Listening to Music

đƫ Watching a DVD

đƫ Playing a Game

To create an activity, you need to know how you use each device that is involved in that activity. For example,

to create a basic Watch TV activity, you need to know the following:

đƫ Which devices you will use. In most cases, you need at least the following devices:

ƫ–A TV set

ƫ–A programming source, such as a cable or satellite set top box

đƫ Which device is used to control the volume

đƫ Which device is used to change channels

đƫ What input is used on the TV set.

Inputs

Inputs determine how your devices are connected. For example, if your DVD player is connected to the

Video 2 input on your TV, then the TV must be set to Video 2 to display the DVD’s picture.

Logitech Harmony Touch

Favorites

Favorites are your favorite TV channels. Using the myharmony.com website you can select up to 50 favorite

channels to display on the remote. Selecting a favorite channel will start your “Watch TV” activity, if it’s not

already started, and tune directly to that channel. Using the touch screen, you can add, remove and reorder

your favorite channels right on the remote.

Myharmony.com

http://myharmony.com is the website where you conﬁgure your Harmony Touch. By connecting your

Harmony Touch to your Mac or Windows computer and following the instructions at myharmony.com,

you can enter your device information, create activities and choose your favorites. With this information,

myharmony.com will conﬁgure your Harmony Touch to control your entertainment system. Your can return

to myharmony.com any time to update your conﬁguration, although many settings can also be maintained

directly on Harmony Touch as well.
