How I set up my Logitech Harmony 300.

• Installed the 2 AA batteries supplied
• Connected the Remote to the Computer with the USB cable supplied
• Waited for the remote to be recognised by the computer
• Went to http://myharmony.com/ on my web browser (Do NOT use CHROME)
• Clicked on “Set up my Harmony remote” on the right of the page
• Created my account with Logitech

Had my first problem, Logitech does not recognise the Google CHROME Browser.
Started again with IE.

• Click on “I already have an account” (as I just made one above)
• Click on “Download Software”
• Click Run, and it downloads the 10.9mb file
• Click Run again
• Click Next
• Click Install, the wait, and wait, until it begins. Seemed like ages but it was only 2 minutes
• Enter email address and password (as created above)
• Add your TV, PVR, DVD etc make and model numbers as requested.
• Wait for this to sync with the remote
• Watch the video to see how it all now works.

That’s it.
