The Logitech Harmony 1100i is an activity-based universal remote control. It uses Smart State Technology to control your home theater system as a whole, knowing which devices need to be on and which inputs to select for specific activities like watching a DVD or listening to music. Setup is performed via the Harmony Remote Software on your computer.
Getting to know your remote
The remote features a touch screen and physical buttons. The screen displays navigation icons and activity controls. Key buttons include:

- Off: Turns off all devices used in an activity.
- Volume Up/Down: Adjusts volume.
- Channel Up/Down: Changes channels.
