Post The Harmony Remote 900 by Logitech




A cost-effective alternative to touch screen controllers are universal remotes. The Harmony Remote 900 by Logitech uses advanced RF technology to operate all your AV devices up to 100 feet away without the need for RF emitters attached to each device. Instead, the Harmony 900 uses a single IR blaster and one or two mini blasters on the cabinet shelves of your entertainment center.

A color touchscreen allows selection of each device and the intuitive button layout provides all the necessary controls for AV Receivers, DVD/Blu-ray Players, TVs, Projectors, cable/satellite set-top boxes and any other IR device.

The Harmony remote creates macros easily through an online interface so all you need to do is select the buttons labeled "Watch TV", "Watch a Movie" or Listen to Music" to fire up all the appropriate gear and select the proper inputs. Forget the coffee table clutter and integrate all your gear into the single, easy to use Harmony 900.

Cool remote but that's gotta be expensive for something I'll never be able to figure out how to set up and will probably lose in the couch cushions.

My neighbor has that remote, and I love it. He controls everything with it, lights, AC, TV, etc...

I like the 880 I currently use. I could see relegating it to the bedroom and using the 900 to replace it in the TV room. Hmm?

I have the non-RF 800 series Logitech as well. I needed something that would pass the mother-in-law test, and one button clicking to turn everything on, switch inputs, etc. can't be beat.

Do you have a preference? I'm looking for something for the bedroom. I am using a mix of Krell separates and some other things.

Do you know of a unit that has a built in sleep timer? My 750MCxs heat up the room pretty quickly if I fall asleep with them on.
