When you first set up your Harmony remote, you’ll be prompted to add each device in your home entertainment system (for example, TV, cable or satellite receiver, DVD player, VCR, etc.) to your Harmony account.
To get started with your Harmony remote

Before your Harmony remote can control your home entertainment devices, it needs to know the manufacturer and model number information for each device you want to control. If you haven’t done so already, take a few minutes to locate and record the manufacturer and model number information for each of your home entertainment devices. If you’d like help finding the required information, see Knowledge Base article 360023229954.
- When you’ve recorded the manufacturer and model number information for your devices, click Next.
- Enter the manufacturer name of the first device you want to add to your account. As you type, a list matching your entry appears. The list will continue refining as you type, so keep typing until you see your manufacturer. Once you do, click it. If you’ve finished typing your manufacturer name and it didn’t appear in the list, don’t worry – we’ll determine the device after you click Add. For now, check to make sure the name you entered matches the name of your device exactly.
- Enter the model number of the device you want to add to your account, checking to make sure the model number you entered matches the model number of your device exactly.
- When you’ve entered the manufacturer and model number, click Add. If the information you entered matches an entry in our database, you’ll be prompted to confirm that the model number we’ve recorded for your device is correct.
If the model number you entered doesn’t match an entry in our database, see Knowledge Base article 360023229954. - Confirm that the model number shown matches the model number of your device. If the model number doesn’t match, click No to return to the previous page and re-enter the information. If the model number matches, click Yes to continue.

- If you’d like to add another device, click Add a Device to continue, then repeat steps 8 through 12 to add your next device.
- When you’ve finished adding devices, click Next. If you added a TV or AV receiver, the following page appears, otherwise skip to step 21.
