  If your TV doesn't turn on when starting an Activity, but the Help button fixes it, the commands might be sent too quickly. Try increasing the Inter-Device Delay for your television using the Harmony Remote Software to space them out more.

  If your TV isn’t going to the right input when starting Activities, use the Harmony Remote Software to: 1. Check your Activity to ensure it’s set up to use the correct input for your TV. 2. Verify the inputs are in the correct order for the Harmony 650 to cycle through them properly. If you still have issues, try increasing the InterDevice and Input Delays for your TV.

  If you receive a message informing you that you haven’t entered the correct model number when adding a new TV, look for the model number on the front, back, or bottom label of the device. Make sure you're not confusing it with the serial number or the model number of the device’s remote control.

  If the On Demand command isn’t on the Harmony 650 for the Watch TV Activity, you can map the command to any unused button on the Harmony 650 or on the remote’s screen. If we’re missing the command, the Harmony 650 can learn it from your original remote.
