Harmony 700 Advanced Universal Remote

Having a ton of electronic devices that make your life more enjoyable in the realm of entertainment is always a good thing. Getting new devices is always exciting, whether its a new DVR box to record you and your family’s shows, finally upgrading to that big TV that you have wanted for years, or graduating from standard DVD’s and getting your first Blu-Ray player! With all of those devices though comes one problem… getting your spouse to be able to operate all of them!

Relief comes in the form of the Harmony 700 Advanced Universal Remote. This remote from Logitech takes care of all of the hassle and time it would take to sit there for countless hours and teach your loved one how to operate a number of other remotes. Setting up the Logitech Harmony 700 remote is easy. You’ll never need to punch a code into your remote or get punched in the head for you having too many remotes. Instead, you connect your remote to your PC or Mac computer, and let the Logitech Harmony software do the rest.

I also got griped at for always being the number one battery consumer in the world (okay…the house). You will be soooo green and resourceful by going with rechargable because the Harmony 700 comes with rechargeable AA batteries that can go several weeks between charges. When you need to recharge it, just connect the remote to the power adaptor and plug it up.

Features

  • Color screen.  You’ll see just what you need, like icons for your favorite channels as well as the commands you need for the devices you’re using. The smart display can even provide help if you need it.
  • Live support.  If you have any questions, Harmony customer support is ready to help.
  • Constantly updated device database.  Whether you have an aging VCR or a brand new Blu-ray player, you can be confident your Harmony remote will control the devices you have today and the ones you add tomorrow.
  • Guided online setup.  You connect your remote to your computer and tell us what equipment you have. Then sit back and let our online software walk you through every step of the setup process.
  • One click activity buttons.  No more complicated lists of what to turn on or which button to select. Once you’re set up, you just select what you want to do—such as “Watch a DVD”—and your Harmony does the rest.
  • Rechargeable.  Your rechargeable remote can go a week between charges. You won’t be looking for batteries when you want to be watching TV.
  • Intuitive design.   Buttons are grouped by how you use them, shaped so you can feel your way around, and backlit—so you always know where you are.

Ryan’s Rating

Cons:  I have no complaints about this remote.  I have had a Harmony remote once before and I had several problems and in the end the remote was utterly left useless.  This one is made profoundly better.

Pros:  Sleek, light, ergonomic.  This remote fits perfectly into all of our entertainment needs.  Easy to set up and even easier to use.

My one and only 10 out of 10 so far!

      That’s one pretty fancy remote. I’m glad you said it was better than other Logitech universal remotes because I hated the other one I had… it was so hard to program and it really didn’t work for more than two items. I am sick of using 5 different remotes, I may look into this for myself. (Teaching Bill how to use it… THAT is a different story.)

      Wow. Super fancy! 🙂 Perhaps I’ll have to check it out. But then my sons would have to relearn how to control the tv, and that would be more work for me. 😉
