Initial Setup

Connecting Harmony to a sound system

NOTE: Your device may not function as intended if different adapters and cables are used. Please only use the adapters and cables that are included with Mood Harmony.

1. Please refer to the Regulatory and Safety Information sheet included with your Harmony before proceeding.
2. Adjust the volume of your display or speaker system down completely (off). Then, if necessary, power off and remove your existing media player.
3. Unpack your Harmony device and place it in an area that allows for adequate ventilation space.
4. Connect the cables in this order: Note:The Harmony player does not support Bluetooth playback at this time.
   • Step A: To connect your Harmony to your sound system plug the 3.5mm Aux cable into the Harmony A/V jack, then the red/white RCA connectors to the corresponding audio zone(s) for your speaker system. There is no need to use the yellow RCA connector. The white cable is for Zone 1 audio and the red cable is for Zone 2.
   • Step B: Mood recommends you use the Ethernet cable included to connect Harmony to your network: plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the network port of the Harmony player and the other end into your network router/switch. Once Harmony is connected to the internet, the Network light will remain solid green. If your Network light is anything other than green, please refer to the Network Setup section below for additional network setup instructions.
   • Step C: Plug the power adapter into the back of Harmony and plug it in to an ‘always on’ outlet – Harmony is energy efficient and optimized to run 24/7, so do not use an outlet that’s controlled by a switch or electrical timer. Be sure to only use the power adapter provided with Harmony.
   • Step D: Turn on your speaker system and increase the master volume in small increments until you reach your desired listening level. Please note that you may need to adjust your speaker volume to match the level you are accustomed to. Due to normal differences between any previous music player and your new Harmony player you may need to try different volume settings. The volume on Harmony is set to 100% from the factory, so adjust your speaker system volumes carefully.
5. Place the batteries in the back of the Harmony remote control and attach the tether to both the remote control and the top of the Harmony player where indicated. For more information about the Harmony remote control, see our Remote Control Guide.
6. After 1-3 minutes, your music and/or visual content should start to play automatically. If it doesn’t, check your sound system to make sure it’s turned on and/or the volume is up at a hearable level.

Network Setup

Wired Ethernet Setup(Recommended)

If available, the easiest and most reliable way is to connect Harmony to your Internet router using the Ethernet cable included in the box.

1. Connect the provided Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of Harmony and to your internet router.
2. Once Harmony is successfully connected to the internet, the Network light will remain solid green. (For advanced setups that require a Static IP address or Proxy, see the WiFi and Advanced Wired Setup below)
3. Once Harmony is connected to the internet, the Network light will remain solid green. If your Network light is anything other than green, see the LED Control Guide for troubleshooting.
