[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1298370, member: 141969"] I have re-discovered how to set up the 650 for MCE RC6 :), although it took me several attempts before I found the right device :(. If you look on the underside of the IR receiver, you will probably find a label with several different "part numbers". The one that is significant is the one that begins [b]OVU[/b]. So in the Harmony Setup tool: [LIST] [*]Select "Add Device". [*]On the"Add Device" panel, enter "Microsoft" for the manufacturer, enter "OVU" for the device model number, and press the ENTER key on the keyboard. [*]The setup tool will display a pop-up that lists several different IR receivers that begin "OVU". The one that corresponds to the MCE RC6 command set is [b]OVU - 4000/00[/b], so select that. [*]Complete the "Add Device" procedure. The new device will display as "Microsoft Media Player". [*]Create an "HTPC" activity, specifying the devices and inputs that are appropriate for your equipment. [*]Many of the button assignments will be correct, but not all. For example, the START function (for starting MP from the Windows desktop) will not be allocated to any button. So go into the "Buttons" section and edit the button assignments for the Microsoft Media Player device, rather than the HTPC activity. I assign the START function to the MENU button, but you can choose whichever button you prefer. Note: in MP's HID config, I define the START button to do other things, so that button only acts as START when MP is not running. [/LIST] -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
