LOGITECH HARMONY 650 USER MANUAL
Using your Harmony 650
Selecting an Activity
You can start an Activity by pressing the appropriate 
Activity button or by pressing the More Activities button 
and selecting one of the Activities that appear on the 
remote’s screen.
To switch to a new Activity, press the appropriate Activity 
button or use the More Activities button to choose 
another Activity. 
The Harmony 650 will take care of powering on the 
required devices, powering off the ones not needed, and 
changing inputs if necessary.
Using the Remote Assistant
The Harmony 650’s Remote Assistant appears on the remote screen when you 
disconnect the remote after syncing, and when you start an Activity. It guides you 
through the Activity. For example, when you select the Watch TV Activity, the Remote 
Assistant asks you if the TV is on and if the other devices in the Activity are configured 
properly.
You can temporarily turn off the Remote Assistant by pressing the button beside the 
Turn off Assistant option on the remote’s screen. The Remote Assistant will reappear 
after the next sync.
Controlling your devices individually
In some cases, you may want to control a device individually. You may, for example, 
want to access a function not included in the current Activity (such as picture-in-
picture). 
When you are in an Activity or on the More Activities screen, pressing the center 
button shows you a list of your devices. Choose the device you want to control. If 
necessary, use the arrow buttons to find the page with the desired device. Once you 
select the device, the Harmony 650 screen shows the commands for that device. 
Choose the desired command. 
Once you’ve finished, press the center button to return to Activities mode.
If you find yourself regularly switching to device mode to perform a 
particular function, you should consider adding that function to an 
Activity. For more information, see 
Setting up Activities
 on page 9.
