I am trying to figure out where on my new Harmony Elite remote the "+" symbol might be? This is used as the EDIT button on the Schedule page and the OPTIONS button on the EPG page. Anyone got one and could throw some light? TIA R-

I've also recently got one but haven't got round to setting it up yet, but looking at the Harmony help site you may need to customise one of the buttons.

Yes I tried that with the blue button in the RED-GREEN-YELLOW-BLUE range at the bottom, but it did not work. There are not many buttons you can divert to this function. The "+" is available on the iPhone app but it would be good to find where they have hidden it on the remote. It must be there I'd have thought. R-

You have twice as many button presses available as you think you have as you can set different functions for a Long Press and a Short Press. For example, on my Harmony remote I have set the DVR button to show the Recordings List for a Short Press and the Timers List for a Long Press. I have set a Long Press on the Info button to activate Options on my Humax or the nearest equivalent on my other PVRs.

Yes, I noticed that Gomezz, but could get neither to work. Perhaps the buttons I was attempting to use are not available for reassignment? I will have another go. R-

Incidentally the Logitech Harmony 5000T device lacks the capability to switch operating modes so is only any good for 5000T's using mode 1.
If you use the 4000T device that does allow setting a different mode.

Thanks GT, for some reason I could not assign the "+" function to any of the coloured buttons I referred to in post #3, but I was able to put it on the DVR button. That was using the teaching mode you referred to. Thanks, R-

I used the red and blue buttons in a HDR-1000S activity for the reverse and forward skip keys.

Ah, didn't realise that - explains everything. R-

I use the colour buttons on my Harmony with Long Press functions to set the TV and amp to the correct source; to tab left and right on the HDMI switch (which sometime gets out of whack with the selected activity); and to change the amp to soothing background music on the amp's FM tuner while I consider what I want to watch next. The dedicated device usage of the colour buttons remain as the Short Press functions.
