Logitech Harmony 650 Universal Remote Control (optional)

Customer Review

After all universal remote controls have failed at my Pioneer amplifier, I finally was able to very easily programmed with this remote control all of my equipment (TV, amplifier, cable decoder box, BlueRay, Xbox).

Connect remote control via USB to the computer. Load program from the Internet. After a short (forced) registration you are then a the exact model names its devices. One has to ignore that he will ask for a DVD player and instead easily enter the type designation of his BlueRay player. Why he knows the setup program does not "BlueRay" is something incomprehensible, but is also not so tragic.

After all, you can rename the programmed actions required. So I now have an action "TV", while the TV is turned on, turned on the receiver of Unitymedia, turned on my amp, put the TV on the input of the receiver, and set the amplifier to the input of the receiver. If you want you can add your own functions. So I had to fix a small problem yourself. "Play BlueRay" When action automatically switched to the Logitech HDMI 3 on the TV, which is actually correct. However, the TV has not understood somehow and no picture displayed after the BlueRay player ran and the correct input was selected. The problem I could solve by I said that in addition to the remote control signal "next input signal" sends. Thus, the TV now recognizes correctly the HDMI 3-Port. For these small errors, I'll give you a tiny half-point deduction, overall I find the remote control still set up super easy. Anyone who has ever tried to set up a "cheap universal remote control" it will be appreciated. Yes, maybe takes to set up 30 - 60 minutes (a bit slow USB connection means about 2 minutes for the data transmission). The time you've sacrificed, but after that you also happy.

The other half point deduction I give for a little weak acting keys. My original TV remote (Samsung) has significantly nicer and better processed as keys. In this respect, I do not know how long the remote control will work with years of continuous stress. For the moment I am in any case happy first. The color display is nice, but not really important, so if the 600 is cheaper, you should take instead.

4 remotes replaced successfully, saving space on the living room and a nice gimmick now easily be able to do everything with a remote control. The Xbox so I turn now to and from, but to play I'll probably continue to use a normal controller. :-)

Oh, one more thing: With the Logitech I can now more functions than with the original remote controls. For example, I can use the inputs on my TV (AV1, AV2, HDMI1, HDMI2, etc.) directly control. That went with the originals of Samsung unfortunately only on the "Source" key in advance - so always one more (which was pretty awkward because you change dozens of times had to eg HDMI 2 to come to HDMI 1).
