Greetings. I've been lurking on this forum for a while, but this is my first post.

I'm using the new Harmony 880 with the new Outlaw 990. I don't have the Harmony activities completely tweaked to my satisfaction, but generally the remote works very well controlling my system. The one problem I'm having is more irritating than serious.

When the A/V system is off and I select the "Watch a DVD" activity, all of the appropriate components turn on and are set to correct inputs, with the exception of the 990. It remains off (standby). If I press the Help button at this point, the 990 turns on - correctly set to the DVD input. I have to press Help every time in this situation... and I shouldn't have to.

This problem occurs with all activities when the system is off.

I'm guessing this problem has something to do with the 990's lack of a remote On button - and Harmony's lack of facility in dealing with this configuration.

I've tried manually setting up the power on/off commands, tried increasing the delay times (speed settings) for the 990. Nothing seems to change the problematic behavior.

Has anyone else on this forum experienced this problem? Has anyone found a solution?

Thanks,
-Brent
