Adjusting Delays And Speed Settings On Your Harmony Remote; Input Delay - Logitech Harmony 650 User Manual

• Start infrared commands that select inputs (for example, on a stereo receiver) with the prefix
"Input".
• Don't name the input based on what you've connected to your device, rather name it
based on what it's called on the front of the device, or on the remote control (for example,
InputAux, InputVideo1, InputTape, InputDVD).

Adjusting delays and speed settings on your Harmony remote

If your device doesn't react to a command from the Harmony 650, 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 650 uses several types of delays, or speed settings, to control your devices. You can
change the first three types of delays using the Harmony Remote Software: Power On Delay, Inter-
key Delay, and Input Delay. You use the Help button on your Harmony remote to change the Inter-
Device Delay.
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-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.

Input Delay

The Input Delay is the amount of time that the remote takes when switching between inputs.
Many devices need a certain amount of time before changing to the next input in the input list.
Example: My TV doesn't always go to the correct input when switching between Activities and I have
already verified that the input list is correct.
