Reading reviews…

Most of them were for TV's, and the few that were made for audio didn't have the programming for my receiver since it was so old. I knew that the original manufacturer's replacement remotes were usually one hundred dollars or more. Then I came upon the Logitech Harmony remotes. I was fascinated. from Amazon.com I upgraded fron a Harmony 670. Couldn't have been easier. from Amazon.com Programming was very easy but for daily use, the buttons need be more durable and larger. This is my first logitech remote therefore, I haven't compared it to the other models. I'm using this one for my home theater, but will start reading reviews and looking at other logitech models for my bedroom and family room systems. from Amazon.com I'd tried a universal remote decades ago and found that it didn't work at all, so I've stayed away from them. Now, with remote controls scattered all over the house, I decided to look into them again. I was a little surprised at all the positive reviews for the Harmony remotes, but I decided to try the 720 anyway (knowing that Amazon makes it so easy to return things. Thanks, Amazon!). from Amazon.com If it misses a step or you have any trouble it walks you through every step to fix it with a simple help button, just anwser yes or no to each question. It's so simple that even my mother-in-law can use it. I had the Harmony 880 before this unit and I like it's shape better. It's easier to slide your hand up and down to get to all the keys. from Amazon.com The Harmony 720 is a great remote. I'll skip over the part about how "wonderful" and "amazing" is to consolidate your remotes...you've probably already established that fact from a bazillion other reviews. from Amazon.com (1) Getting it set up was ridiculously easy. OK, I'm around computers all day long, but all those comments about "this is not a device for the technophobic" are more than a little inaccurate. What you need to be able to do is (a) hook up the USB cable, (b) install the Logitech software, and (c) plug it in. The wizard is very straightforward, and I had 0 problems setting up my TV, Dish receiver, and Panasonic DVD/DVR. from Amazon.com I received my Harmony 720 yesterday and spent about an hour this evening setting it up. I honestly don't know what some of the other reviewers mean when they say that the software is not user friendly or intuitive. from Amazon.com As my first foray into the world of universal remotes, I bought this (not through Amazon) earlier model of Logitech Harmony 720 Universal remote control about three weeks ago, after reading the many rave reviews I see here. I have bought other consumer electronics and housewares at this site and have often navigated here to read reviews, but will always remain wary of internet testimonials. from Amazon.com The ideal household for this product is one where there's a tech-savvy family member who can do the initial setup. While the Harmony remotes are great at what they do - provide one-touch control of your AV center - they require that you understand how your equipment is hooked together, the inputs and outputs, and their functions. You then must use software on your computer to customize the remote to reflect how you want to use your entertainment system. from Amazon.com
