The term "input" refers to both the:

• Physical connection of a cable from one home entertainment device to another

• Default name for such a connection in a device's software menu

For many home entertainment devices, the physical input ports (usually found on the back of the device) are directly linked to their default names. For example, if you have a game console connected by an HDMI cable at the rear of a TV to input "HDMI 3", you'll likely be able to use it by setting the TV to "HDMI 3" in the TV input menu.

Before you try to configure your Harmony remote activities, you'll need to know which device:

• Displays video

• Controls volume

• Is used for each activity

See answer 360023412933 for more information on activities.

To configure activities in the Harmony Remote Software, you'll also need to know how the devices that send audio and video signals are connected to the devices that control audio volume and video display.

For example, with the "Watch a DVD" activity, you'll need to know:

• Devices used (DVD Player, TV, AV receiver)

• Connections:

  • DVD player is connected to the AV receiver at "DVD" input

  • AV receiver is connected to the TV at "HDMI 1" input

The video device is the DVD player (via the AV receiver which is connected to "HDMI 1") and the volume is controlled by the AV receiver.
