harmony 700 is the input to TV always the same as the output of the AVR

harmony 700 is the input to TV always the same as the output of the AVR?

or should the input # in the AVR be concidered as the input to the TV? example if DVD was connected to AVRinput #4 would this make the TVs input #4.


I have all my AV componets DVD player, DVD recorder ect. connected into my AVR then out of AVR to input HDMI2 of TV.

That being said doe's this mean that all AV componets going into TV are
HDMI2?

Hello Bryan I am getting less confussed.

I have kindof managed to program a couple of activitys and am learning how to acess my acount and make adjustments like adding equipment and inputs to a given activity and lableing activitys.

so I can now forsee the benefit of a activity based remote.

Bryan I believe it mite be easier for me to program a HDMI toggle so when I stop like a DVD I toggle back to TV (to mainly prevent the manufactors DVD logo from burning into my Plazma)

this seams like about the same amount of work compared to pressing a activity button on the top.

maybe programming a HDMI toggle which I am acusstomed to will hold me untill I fully understand the activitys concept alone w/ fully understanding the TV inputs that Harmony accepts.

Thanks

Hello Byran I think you are correct the HDMI toggle is'nt a good idea.

becauce when I stop a dvd and press HDMI toggle (on a differnt remote) I don't have audio AV1 for the TV.

mite be better to figure out the 700 and press the top activity buttons to toggle inbtween DVD & TV.


PS I have been able to add my sub. woofer speaker to listen to radio.

then I added the sub to all audio related activitys.

hopefully I will have this 700 wooped in a couple of days.

one of my major problems was figuring out how and where to log on to access my account, myharmony, buyharmony ? now I know double click the blue harmony icon on my desktop.

I am surprised LT does'nt include a owners manuel. hope they made use of the .50 they saved.

I think the .50 they saved on a no manuel came back on them at X1000 the cost to pay incompetent tech. surport a minuim wage salary for attemping to resolve the simpliest ?s w/ lousy results

Bryan can't these logical (how software switchs) connections be found from the pyshicale connections?

I am convinced that my watch TV activitys input should be coax antena input. remember I don't have
cable or even dish I use free over air antena.

when I watch the short demostration video of how to select inputs for devices it actualley shows a ANT. connection however there is no software option to choose ANT. input?




Thanks Dave for the manuel, I'll look it over

currently I'm reduced to connecting my DVD player directly into TV hdmi3 and using the RCA universal remote's HDMI to bounce back and forth from watching DVD to TV then stopping and switching to TV and still having AV1 audio.

I have tryed the 700's TV hdmi toggle and I get no volume.

This is kindof redundant to still use 2 remotes however I think the way the activity remote is set up is if I press watch TV start watching TV then decide to watch a DVD w/ the activity button then decide to go back and watch TV using the top activity buttons then the DVD player gets turned off.

I am acussumed to using the HDMI toggle (TV to any source w/out turning off the source) thus reduced to using the RCA remote as a toggle.


OK Dave Thanks

I'll be presenting ?s on this TV input because I've been messing around w/ the Mag 515 and am finding out that if the 515 is turned off the TV will not get a antena signal, so I'm thinking I may need a antena signal spit one directly into TV's input and the second into the 515 (for recording purposes)
more on that issuse later.
