Now where's the one you need?
So you have your TV remote, your receiver remote, a remote to control the DVD player, a remote for the cable, and a remote for the CD player. But, every time you want to watch a movie, listen to music, or flip through the cable channels, you can never find the right remote. Problem solved. With the Harmony 880 PRO advanced universal remote, you can get rid of all your old clickers. This remote can be programmed to control up to 15 different components. Worried it won't work with your equipment? Rest easy. The list of compatible devices contains over 175,000 different products from over 5,000 different brands, so you're sure to be able to use any device, new or old, from across the room. So, you don't have to worry about locking up all your old remotes. Go ahead and let the kids (or spouse for that matter) use the remotes all they want. If they lose it, you won't miss a minute of your favorite show because you were hunting for the clicker. Just be sure to hide your new Harmony well (but not so well you can't find it).
With you every step of the way
Harmony tried to make their remote as easy to use as possible, adding convenient features such as one-touch activities. With them, you don't need a PhD in programming to watch a movie any more. Rather than press 15 different buttons to turn on the TV, turn on the receiver, switch the receiver to DVD, turn the DVD player on, and play the movie, simply press "Watch DVD", and your remote will do all that for you. Done? Press "System Off" to power down all your components. With controls this easy, even your spouse can do it. But, Harmony knows that any remote that can control 15 different devices is eventually going to cause some sort of confusion, so they gave it a great Graphical User Interface. The "Harmony Assistant" guides you through what you're doing on the remote courtesy of the LCD display. And, if you're still at a loss, press the designated "Help" button (a Harmony exclusive), and you will be guided through a quick, easy troubleshooting process that asks you questions such as, "Is the receiver in DVD mode?", and uses your answers to make changes until the problem is solved. It's like the Lassie of home theater, always by your side, ready to help.
No more programming code sheets!
Gone are the days when you got blisters from programming your remote to control more than one device. Rather than set up your new universal remote using a sheet full of code numbers, simply hook your remote up to your computer using the included USB cable, and as long as your using either a Windows 2000, XP, or Vista PC or a Mac with OS X v. 10.3 with a CD-ROM drive and internet access, you're good to go. Select all your components, and program your remote exactly how you want to using the simple step-by-step instructions. Or, if you'd rather, simply transfer commands from your older control devices using the designated Learning Port. How much easier could it get?
Well-bred
