For example, a common use for a TV is to watch TV shows; a common use for a DVD player is to watch movies. Harmony uses the term Activity to refer to a group of devices you use in order to watch TV, a movie, and many other uses. In this way, if you watch movies using your TV, DVD player, and a stereo receiver (for sound), you can create an Activity called Watch a DVD. The Activity will store information on the devices you need to watch a DVD--in this case, your TV, DVD player, and stereo receiver--and the specific settings for each device (e. g. TV must be set to the Video 1 input, the DVD player must be on, and the stereo receiver set to play sound for the DVD). Creating Activities To create Activities you must install the software from the CD that was packaged with the remote, or from the Logitech web site. Once you have installed the software, you will be prompted to create a member account so that you can store your information about the devices in your home entertainment center and the settings for each Activity you create. After you have created an account, the software will guide through a step-by-step process that will ask you questions about the type of devices you have (manufacturer and model information), and how you want to use and control them. Selecting an Activity on the Remote View the Activities you have added by pressing the Activities button.
