At the next window, select Custom, which will ask you a series of questions about which devices
you want to use for this activity. When you are done setting the state of the devices, return to
your home page where you can rename the activity by clicking Customize, and then Rename.
You can also set up the buttons on the controller to give commands to the various devices. For
example, you will want basic controls to skip, play, and pause the DVD player, and some channel
controls for the TV. You can define which buttons control various functions, and you can also add
custom buttons on the LCD screen. Once the new configuration is downloaded into the remote,
you can access the new activity by pressing the More button on the top of the controller. Then
it’s just one click of the custom Background TV button to turn all the components to the right
setting for music and TV.

Perfect Movie Mode
Controlling your entertainment system is one thing, but the Harmony remote can take it even a
step further. With the Logitech Harmony remote, you can control a lighting system if it’s
connected to an infrared receiver. It’s possible to set up a Perfect Movie Activity button, where
lighting would be launched to the right level, and the entertainment system set to just the right
volume and video settings. With just one click of a Perfect Movie Activity, the perfect home
movie environment can be achieved.
