Features

Harmony 950 Universal Remote Control: The Harmony 950 universal remote control provides maximum flexibility for operating your home entertainment gear. You can control up to 15 different devices from the Harmony 950 universal remote. The remote measures 5.4375" (w) x 3.9375" (h) x 19.25" (d).

Desktop Software Setup: The Harmony 950 is programmed by connecting the universal remote to your laptop or desktop computer using the supplied USB cable, and downloading the MyHarmony desktop software. The MyHarmony desktop software will guide you through entering the manufacturer and model numbers of your home devices so the Harmony 950 understands how to control them. It then helps you create your Watch TV Activity (or scene) for one-button control.

System Requirements: Your PC or computer will need to meet the following system requirements.

• Windows-based PC:
  • Microsoft Windows Vista, 7, 8, or 10
  • USB type-A port
  • Internet access
• Intel-based Mac Computer:
  • Macintosh OS X 10.7 or later
  • USB type-A port
  • Internet access

Learning Function: In addition to the devices which can be entered using the web interface, this remote can also learn most functions of other infrared remotes.

Infrared (IR): The Harmony 950 controls your devices using infrared (IR) light meaning that there must be a direct line of sight between the Harmony remote and your component's IR eye or external IR receiver. The remote has an IR transmission range of up to 50'.

2.4" Full-Color Touchscreen w/ Tactile Feedback: The included remote's 2.4" full-color touchscreen gives you easy gesture control of the remote's commands and activities. The remote vibrates to give you tactile feedback when a tap, swipe or other gesture has been recognized by the remote's touchscreen. The remote's numeric keypad is located on the touchscreen.

One-Touch Controls: The Harmony 950 uses Activity Control to give you one-touch control of your home entertainment system.

• Entertainment Activities: You can create Activities that manage how you use your devices together. For example, if you have a TV, AV receiver, and cable or satellite box, you will want to control all of these devices when you watch TV. To control all of these devices together, create a Watch TV Activity. When you have completed adding your Watch TV Activity, you can add the other Activities that you want your Harmony Ultimate to control. The types of Activities that MyHarmony offers you depends on the types of devices you have added. You can add multiple Activities based on each type of Activity offered, such as Watch TV, Watch Movie, or Play Game.
• Custom Activities: Most Activities should fit into one of the Activity types offered. The Custom Activity type is recommended only for home appliances such as light controllers, fans, climate control devices, etc. The Custom Activity does not provide optimized defaults such as button customizations, Activity icons, and Favorite Channels as the other predefined Activity types do. These may be configured manually from MyHarmony.
• One Touch System Off: The Off button on the Harmony 950 remote powers off all of the devices for an Activity with one touch. For example, in a Watch TV Activity that uses a TV, Cable Box, and AV Receiver, pressing the Off button will power off all three devices at the same time.

Favorites: The Favorites screen allows you to view your predefined favorite TV channels and station icons (when available). Using the MyHarmony desktop software program, you can select up to 50 Favorite Channels to display on the remote. Selecting a Favorite Channel will start your "Watch TV" Activity, if it's not already started, and tune directly to that channel. Using the touchscreen, you can add, remove and reorder your Favorite Channels right on the remote.

Command Customization: The Harmony 950 remote allows you to customize the commands that each button sends, or what commands appear in your Activity list. These button mappings may be unique for each of your Activities. This allows each button or screen to have different functions based on context. For example, in your Watch a Blu-ray Activity, the yellow button may perform the eject command, while in your Listen to Music Activity this same yellow button may be used to pull up your Favorite preset.

Optional Hub: The Harmony 950 can be paired to a Harmony Home Hub (sold separately) to control devices remotely from other rooms.The hub is the center of Harmony home entertainment control and works to keep your devices and other Harmony components in sync. The Harmony Hub accepts one remote of each type -

• One touchscreen remote (Pro, Pro 2400, Elite, 950, Ultimate, Ultimate Home, Touch, Ultimate One)
• One screen-less remote (Companion, Smart Control)

Help: If you have a problem completing an activity function, the help button will guide you through the fix using the interactive multi-color touchscreen display.

Sleep Timer: Use the sleep timer feature to fall asleep and let the Harmony 950 take care of shutting down your equipment for you.

Rechargeable Battery: The Harmony 950 remote control includes a user-replaceable, rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that has 20% greater capacity than previous generation Harmony remotes.

Charging Base: The remote comes with a docking station and AC power adapter that keeps the remote's battery fully charged. The charging base measures 3.1875" (w) x 2.25" (h) x 3.875 (d).
