Setting up a Logitech Harmony Remote on two separate Xbox 360's

I have a sort of unique problem. My wife happens to work for a video game company, and I used to work for one. As such, we now have two xbox 360's in our entertainment stand(one grey one black). The problem is that we just bought a brand new Logitech Harmony 550 remote and are trying to figure out how to get it to recognize that there are two separate xboxs (instead of turning both on every time you hit power, or ejecting both, etc...) It seems these are on the same frequency? Any suggestions or thoughts, or am I just going to have to get up every time and turn the second one off (thus rendering the expensive remote useless)? Thanks in advance for any and all help :)

Saved game not saving


hello, are you sure there is a enough memory on your hard drive

if yes take the hard drive off give it a clean and clean the surrounding xbox 360, this may sound stupid but this is what i did as i had the same problem and mine was sorted straight after i did this, after you cleaned it with a damp cloth (not wet as this will break xbox 360) and then out the hard drive back on the side of the xbox

hope this helps, good luck and if you need more help send me a message back

Harmony 890 Pro will not pair with Xbox360

The RF signal is on the XBOX is used for the controllers only.

When using the Harmony 890 with a 360, you will have to use it as an IR (infrared) device. That is the only way to use a remote with the 360. If you have an extra port on your RF extender, you can place the end on the remote senor on the 360 (located under the eject button).

I set these remotes up weekly, it is a product I recommend to people all the time!

But again, the only way to setup a remote with the 360, is to use the IR port as a standard IR remote. Since the controllers run off RF, the learn function will not work, unless you already have 360 remote control to use to do the learn function.

Hope that offers some insight. This information can also be verifies at Microsoft XBOX 360's FAQ page.

Logitech harmony xbox 360 remote not communicating with 360.

There is a setting that may need to be changed within the Xbox 360, to allow it to be controlled by a Harmony Advanced Universal Remote.

To configure your Xbox 360 to respond to a Harmony Remote

  1. Using your original Xbox 360 controller, go into the Xbox Dashboard on the Xbox menu
  2. Select "Console Settings"
  3. Select "Remote Control"
  4. If "All channels" is selected, select "Xbox 360 Media Remote”. If "Xbox 360 Media Remote" is selected, then select "All channels"
Your Harmony remote should now control your Xbox 360

Codes

The codes I found that Sampo uses are 506, 519, and 698.

I have a logitech harmony remote, and I use it with my xbox 360 as well. My remote had an automatic searching system for my TV. Where I just alternated between pressing the TV OFF button and another programming button until the tv turned off, that's when it acquired the code. Your remote might have a similar function. Just a hint.
