Ray you do not need 360 to use this remote. you can use this remote to control all of your A/V components like any other universal remote. You do have to program it using your PC.

I have to ask .. do i need an xbox 360 for this remote or can i do everything from my PC? my friends xbox got stolen and he offered his remote (towards the price of a new 360)to operate my a/v system. i dont want to try to program his remote with the software i d/l from logitech unless i am sure i will not crash the harmony..

Hi, if i buy a harmony 555 instead of the harmony for xbox, can i still control an xbox360 by programming other buttons as the xbox buttons? Or will i lose functionality? Can anyone explain me exactly what functions will not be possible on an xbox 360 with the harmony 555 (but are possible with the harmony for xbox)?

To answer the question I had about three posts ago, the ‘next chapter’ button ( >>| ) jumps ahead 30 seconds! woohoo!!!

Now I need to figure out how to use the remote to control the Xbox in DVD player mode. Not sure how to make it pause without pulling out a game controller. It would seem I should be able to use the A, B and directional buttons, but that isn’t working.

Can anyone help pls, I have a Harmony 520 and an LG TV 32FS2ANB-TE and I have problems with turning on the TV. I have set this up to respond to power toggle on/off as this is what the TV emote has. These commands work when they are sent from the device setting on the Harmony remote but dont work from the activity setting (all other devices work)
I have used the TV remote to teach the Harmony remote. I have specified Power Toggle mode rather than separate ON and OFF using the software. I have used the HELP function on the Harmony remote. However nothing works.
One other point is that when I save the settings for the TV the model number seems to change from 32FS2ANB-TE to 32FS2ANB-TP. This model is fairly new, could it be that this has not been added to the Logitech listing yet?

Is there a way to access the commands/program on the remote on the PC and manually making changes?
I live in Sydney, Australia. Thanks guys, I have spent many hours trying to fix this.

bstring – you know.. that’s an interesting thought. I’m not sure if you can actually program a series of FF calls within a macro function. Off the top of my head, I want to say no you can’t… but I can be totally wrong on this one. That’s something I’m going to have to try out one of these days!

SMC – ouch.. you might want to consider rearranging your TV set!!! Once you play with the macro functionality, you’ll get a feel for when the remote will switch from one device to another. It’s pretty quick… though if I remember correctly, you can set timings on it.

I just decided to buy this remote and am waiting for it to arrive. One thing I am curious about is if it can tell my Motorola DVR to jump ahead 30 seconds or 1 minute (thru commercials) using a series of FF commands. My old DVR with MOXI interface had a Jump button that jumped 30 seconds and we really miss that feature.

My TV is on one wall and my Projector, Xbox, and A/V stuff are behind me on the opposite wall…if I hit “Watch TV” I assume I need to point the remote 1st at the TV and then at the equipment behind me? How do I know when to point it where?

Jade – awesome to hear. I’m still working with this remote after almost a year. Loving it thus far. My only complaint is the slight delay in signals from pressing the button to registering it on the device at hand.. but nothing I can’t deal with.

Setup and operation of the remote went slicker than a whistle.

physio – what you’re asking for is particularly hard to do with this remote mostly b/c of the timing. I use the “Watch TV” functionality to do the following:
1. Turn on my TV and switch to the right video input
2. Turn on the receiver and switch to the correct a/v input
3. Switch to “My TV” on the MCE box.

For what you want – you need to:
1. turn on the tv to the correct input
2. turn on the Xbox 360 – wait a few seconds
3. turn on media center – wait a few more seconds….
4. then select “My TV”

My gut says it’s hard if not impossible to do mostly b/c of the time it takes between steps – especially waiting for the 360 and waiting for the MCE to connect. But maybe someone could try this?
