    harmony remote no longer controls my components

  • diehlbr Dec 09, 2008

    Reprogrammed and it still will not activate anything. It's like the transmitter died.

    Same problem. The remote turns the TV on/off, but the volume doesn't come on and it won't change channels. It also won't even pull up the Guide menu. We have Dish Network. The other TV it is connected with works, so it must be a remote issue. Not sure how to correct it since some controls work, some don't. Weird

You may need to reprogram your remote, or, if you have your profile setup on the harmony website, reload from there

If you have an infrared remote and your Direct Tv remote is using an RF signal then you need to call Direct Tv and they will help you program your DVR to the remote.

Did you try removing the battery, letting it sit for 1 minute, then reinstalling the battery?

Who set up the remote in the first place? The harmony 880 has a computer program with it that will allow you to set up the remote yourself. It is rather easy, and not worth paying $150 for remote programming from a big box store

The power flickered on and off last night and since then I cannot get my Harmony 890 remote to change channels. We have Direct TV. It will control the volumn and turn the tv on and off, but will not...

You DirecTV device may have been reset ack to RF. You'll have to make sure the device is set to accept IR commands in order for the Harmony remote to work on it.

This link will help you.

Harmony 880 Logitech won't change channels

Was it working before?  Is it possible you selected the wrong brand of TV when programming the remote?  Do you use a cable box or satellite dish with your TV (in other words, do you change channels by changing the channel on the TV, or on the digital box connected to your TV)?

Harmony 880 does not change input with Onkyo HT-R520 amplifier

You will either have to use your Onkyo remote to teach the Harmony those functions or try one of the similar model receivers in the Harmony software. I had to chose a similar DVD player in the list in order to get my Harmony to play nice with my DVD player.

Programming Harmony 880 Remote to Mute with CC on Sony Bravia KDL-40W4100

Do you use a Home Theater receiver along with your televison?  Are other components, such as a DVD player, VCR, Blu-ray player, etc. connected?
If so, it's possible that the Mute function on your remote is muting the sound from your receiver, and not the TV itself.
If that's the case, you'll need to look at the details of the "default" buttons for your activities, and see whether the Mute function is associated with your TV or your receiver.  If it's set for the receiver, you need to change it to be associated with the TV.

Logitech

You need to be more specific about your problem.  Have you already programmed your Harmony Remote on the internet?  Does it control all other functions (such as changing channels) on your TV?
Do you have any other components connected (such as a Home Theater Receiver) that might be a source of sound?
Please post more details, and I may be able to help.
