How to customize buttons in an Activity
There are several different types of buttons that are customizable in Activities for your Harmony 1100. The first step in mapping a command is determining what type of button you wish to customize.

• Hard Buttons: Hard buttons are the physical buttons on your remote like the Volume, Channel and Direction keys.  All other physical buttons are used for controlling the Harmony 1100 and are not customizable

  

• Virtual Hard Buttons: Virtual hard buttons are buttons that are commonly used and automatically set up for you, like the Play button or a number key

  

• Custom buttons: Commands mapped to the LCD screen on the Custom Control and to the Left and Right Sidebars. They can be labeled using text (a)or use an icon (b).
