I thought the Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote took too long to scroll between inputs on my Sony Plasma so I went in and adjusted the speed at which it changed the inputs. I found that I set the speed to change too swiftly resulting in skipped inputs when the remote was changing the TV for a specific activity. Guaranteed for life it’s a higher quality than all other transparent Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote skins because it was originally a military technology developed to protect helicopter blades from dirt and debris. It’s the toughest material of it’s kind and it will keep your device in excellent condition for life.
Make the switch to the Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote and do away with that clutter of remotes on the coffee table forever. Their latest remote the Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote Control continues the tradition of easy to use and easy to setup for the modern home theatre. The remote is a great device for consolidating all your remotes into one. The 2.53 color touchscreen LCD adds to the coolness factor however being a touchscreen you lose the feedback making it a bit harder to use at times.
The device database that the remote is compatible with includes is huge and contains over 5000 brands and 225,000 models and includes devices from the past 20 years. They also update their device database daily so your remote will continue to work with any new electronics you buy in the future. After choosing the brand you put in the model number and you are ready to program.
The new design takes what was the best of the earlier Harmony designs and layers new improvements that make this remote one of the best I have seen for the money. As part of the research Logitech included only the 40 most essential buttons on the Harmony One for quick access to commonly used functions. Another very cool feature is that this remote has a motion sensor in it. When you pick it up it comes to life and lights up the touch screen and the keys. Overall the remote’s shape and button layout makes you want to cancel your gym membership and watch more TV.
Replacing up to 15 remotes the Harmony One has a touch screen that gives an easy access to digital activities in one click “Watch TV” or “Watch DVD”. This gadget has a cool design consistent with the entire Logitech product line elegant glossy black surface with orange backlit buttons.
My serious gripe about the remote is that there is a slight delay between pressing a button and the command registering on the piece of home theater equipment. Case in point the volume control. I love the remote. It is a little bit pricey. But you don’t have a half dozen remotes on the coffee table. And you’re probably the only one in the family who knows how to use it.
