Harmony 550 User Manual
4. If no pattern is found, the signal will be stored as-is in its original format.
5. If a pattern is found, the Harmony remote control software converts the signal into a format for
convenient storage.
Either way, the signal is then available for you to assign to a button on your Harmony remote.
Naming an Infrared Command
When the Harmony remote learns an infrared command, give the command a name. This way you can
refer to this command by name in various locations of the online setup process. It is best to use the
default names listed in the Learn infrared commands step so that automatic button function
assignments can be applied to your Harmony remote.
Example
If the Harmony remote learns the volume button infrared commands from your original remote
control, name the commands "VolumeUp" and "VolumeDown" (i.e. with no space, and
capitalization as shown). The Harmony remote control software looks for commands with these
names to automatically assign them to the volume up and down buttons on the Harmony remote.
Naming Conventions
When naming a command for which there is no default name under the Learn infrared commands
option, use the following naming conventions to make button assignment and sharing infrared commands
easier:
• Capitalize the start of words (e.g. NextDisc, ModeDigital).
• Start the command name with its main function (e.g. VolumeRearUp, VolumeRearDown,
VolumeFrontUp, VolumeFrontDown). This helps group related commands in lists.
• For infrared commands that select inputs (e.g. on a stereo receiver), start with the prefix "Input".
Do not name the input based on what you have connected to your device, rather name it
based on what it is called on the front of the device, or on the remote control (e.g. InputAux,
InputVideo1, InputTape, InputDVD, InputVCR).
