Remote wonder
(4 out of 5) by Mr. Peter Graham on Oct 9, 2009I always had my doubt about buying these remotes from previous mixed reviews, especially when you are paying big bucks for the pleasure, but after eventually taking a leap of faith and purchasing this little wonder I am so happy I did.
It is currently replacing 4 other remote controls, plus it even works on my laptop too! I am able to control the windows media functions on my laptop, I was amazed.
So far I have this controlling my:
1. Loewe T.v.
2. Yamaha Networkable Amp.
3. Pioneer Blue Ray player
4. Now T.V. digital set top box.
Unfortunately I was not able to locate the correct model and number for the set top box on the logitech web site (I think the online menu could be a little more helpful especially when you are not able to locate your exact equipment), but it was so simple to get the Harmony 900 to learn the set top box remote functions.
One tip I would definitely suggest would be to make sure you make a note of all your equipment you want to set up beforehand, check it on the logitech web site too, and then think about how your equipment is set up and how you want the harmony 900 to work the equipment. This does take some time to set up so don't think it is a five minute job, it isn't! It does take some time and you will find that there is some fine tuning afterward too.
Using the remote once it is all set up is easy, just a push of a button and the remote does all the work.
The Harmony 900 does feel a little light in the hands but does feel easy to hold and use with one hand, although the glossy cover does leave some fingerprints.
The remote buttons are pretty responsive, but sometime there can be a little lag on the touch screen commands. I find that I have to touch it a few times before there is a response. This usually only happens when it has been sitting idle for a while.
The remote comes with a radio zapper. Although I have not yet set these up, I gather from the instructions that this is quite easy and the remote zapper can be placed inside the cabinet with the equipment.
Overall, a great remote to replace all your other remotes.
