Control more with less when you unify your TV and home theater setup through a Harmony remote setup. Our professional installer will configure your learning remote to control up to eight of your devices and help you customize up to six different actions, such as events, scenes, automations and more. We’ll connect your remote to your existing home network and, if included, connect the remote’s smart hub or base station. If applicable, we can also help you set up your remote’s companion mobile app. Finally, we’ll review everything we set up and make sure you know how to use it so we leave you in full control. Once we’re done, we’ll ensure the workspace is clean and remove any packaging that’s no longer needed. Best Buy’s home theater services are backed by a 90-day limited workmanship warranty.
