Proper placement for Harmony Hub

Open Cabinets

Closed Cabinets

• Position Harmony Hub inside the cabinet, on or beside the majority of your devices.
• IR signals sent from the hub will reflect off of walls, cabinet interiors and other surfaces before reaching your devices. Direct line of sight is generally not required.
• Plug the IR mini blaster into the back of the hub and position it on top of your cabinet so it may send IR signals to your television.
