Harmony 880 Problem

[coldmiser]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I'll give it a try...I'm using my Harmony 880 and it works great with the 622 with one exceptions...I can't program the "*" (Format) to work on my 622. So everytime I want to stretch or unstretch a show I have to get the 622 remote out.

Anyone gotten this to work on an 880?

Yes.. I assigned one of my configurable buttons. I think it is called Aspect or that is what I named it. Been a while since i programed my 622 but it does work. I did not use my remote to program it. Just use the profile provided by Harmony and assigned the button to the aspect key.

Interesting. I tried using "Aspect" and it doesn't do anything. :confused:

I did the same thing with my 880 - I assigned a programmable button to control the aspect settings, and I used one of the preloaded 622 choices for it. I don't remember which one, though. You could use the 'learn a new command' procedure the 880 supports and learn '*' from the 622 remote.

Actually the 880 does not like the 622 remote for learning. You even get a message that it's not supported. I did try though, but it was a no go.

I am using a 880 with a 622. I programmed a button on the lcd screen for aspect.
I also "learned" that command along with live tv. Are you programming from the web site or the cd? Try programming from the web site.
I set mine up a 1.5 years ago from the web site with no problems at all.

Exact same case with me; I use a button on the front page of the lcd screen and called it "SAT Aspect". It's a phenomenal remote and works absolutely flawlessly with all of my gear. Over a year after I got it, I still add new tweaks about once a month that make things easier (last one was programming my Yamaha receiver's center channel volume to go up or down based on my tastes).

I programmed my Harmony 670 from the Logitech website, and I believe I used the "Aspect" command listed for the 622, even though it is labeled as "format" on the 622 remote. Works great!

This is simply not correct. :rolleyes:
