Using Logitech Harmony 1 Remote

[nvelis]

Hi, I was visiting someone yesterday who had an AV guy come in and set up the Logitech Harmony 1 remote with their TV, Receiver, Apple TV, etc. It all works great except that when they are in the Apple TV menu, any time they click on the remote, if their itunes is open on their laptop, it starts playing. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Either pair/unpair the remote, or disable using a remote with the laptop altogether.

Yea, I'm not sure if you can pair a non apple remote with an ATV, but you can definitely disable the IR receiver on the laptop.

ok- thanks. I was a little hesitant to make too many changes to their configuration since they paid to get it set up but if I disable the IR receiver they can always turn it back on.

Thanks
