Manufacturer's Description

Logitech Harmony 1000 Advanced Universal Remote

The Logitech Harmony 1000 features a brilliant 3.5� color touch screen that allows for one-touch activity-based control of even the most sophisticated A/V components. Say goodbye to the wasted time and unnecessary complexity of multiple remotes controlling multiple devices, Logitech's patented Smart State Technology makes it easy! Control your HDTV, adjust aspect ratios, or change sound modes - there are no complicated macros to program. Just press an on-screen activity icon and Harmony does the rest.The Harmony 1000's sleek shape and brushed aluminum surfaces will look right at home as the centerpiece of your digital living room. One remote is all you'll need to control even the most complex home entertainment systems. And when used together with a Harmony RF Wireless Extender (sold separately), you can further reduce clutter by placing your components out of sight. Since the remote can transmit both infrared and radio frequency commands, you can control equipment inside a cabinet or even in the next room.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: LCD touchscreen, ease of programming, ease of use.

  Weaknesses:Tough to access infrequently used buttons.

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this controller mostly to make life easier for my wife and it has, but I unexpectedly fell in love with it too! It looks awesome, everyone comments on it when they see it and I got a great deal on it with PriceGrabber. I'll never go back to multiple remotes again!

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: ease of use, removes remote clutter, touch screen, easy to see

  Weaknesses:Lots of questions on remote (is this OK

  Overall Evaluation: I have lots of friends using my system, and with the pile of remotes, and a surround sound receiver, iPod, TV, and DVD player, it was getting confusing what settings were needed.With the harmony 1000, it is intuitive, and so far everyone has been able to pick it up and use it. It is pricey, but look for deals. At one point it was $179 with a special on-line coupon.

  Strengths: Best value in the programable screen category of remotes combined with an on-line based system database that is pretty bullet proof in accommodating every conceivable combination of vendor equipment.

  Weaknesses:The touchscreen approach is surprisingly less satisfactory than the tactile pattern of a well designed button pattern. I find the right side button far more pleasing in function than the screen.

  Overall Evaluation: I was surprised to find that the most enjoyable part of the unit was the standard button set on the right rather than the screen. Had I to do it over, I believe I would have chosen the better combination of small, selective programing screen with a greater fixed button pattern for most operations. This is opposite of expectations but certainly the reality after using this format. I also found the icon symbology for the favorite channel setup virtually impossible to get programed and have yet to crack the process.

  Strengths: - Convenient Activity Based Interface- Easy to Program- RF Capability

  Weaknesses:- Annoying high-pitched tone when first placed on Charger- Commands are a little slow to execute from time to time- A little on the expensive side

  Overall Evaluation: With at least 4 remotes each in both our family room and Master Bedroom, I finally decided delve into the world of universal remotes. After a thorough online shopping expedition, I decided to purchase the Harmony 1000. It's a great remote and for the money I paid, less than $300, I feel it was a great value. Programming it was a breeze, and activity-based controls allow convenient one-touch transitions from television to DVDs and back again. While I love the remote, I will a note a couple of issues. 1) The touch screen takes a little getting used to. As other reviewers have noted, there is no tactile feedback, and "no look" clicking is difficult at best. 2) The "Devices" section of the remote, which emulates the factory remotes for your A/V equipment is not particularly user-friendly. For even the simplest of remotes, the buttons are laid out on multiple pages and as seldom as normal operations require using this section, it can be a challenge to locate the specific function you need. 3) The remote's firmware/software bogs down from time to time and causes some irritating delays. In spite of these issues, I am more than satisfied with the purchase and would recommend this remote to anyone interested in getting rid of excess clutter int he family room.

  Strengths: I really got rid of 6 complex remotes ! I put them in a cabinet and NONE of them have been needed since. That is a first !

  Weaknesses:NONE

  Overall Evaluation: I am blown away. I had an old Harmony 659 that was shaped in the traditional way with regular buttons. It was good to me, but my wife could never figure it out- mostly because even with all the programming you had to do a lot of 'next' and scrolling to find the one button you were looking for. It was easier to just use the orig. remote with that older model. HOWEVER- now with this 1000 remote- I actually put away ALL my remotes- and after 2 weeks, my wife and children can do ALL tasks across my TV, PVR, DVD, DVDR/VCR, and Receiver-including surround sound settings, TV aspect ratio's, muting, PVR TV show recording, PVR playback - ALL with one remote. The user interface on this is excellent. I was really surprised how much easier it is for non techies to understand the touch screen. I set it up within 60 min's including tweaks and was amazed at how improved it is over the earlier models. One impressive thing: my cable PVR box- has special buttons on it "A", "B" and "C"- and each is a specific color and shape. This Haromony- automatically displayed the colors and shapes of these buttons on the touchscreen during set up- with no extra work from me. It did similar things for every remote I have. There was NO BUTTON that was not accessible on the touchscreen (albeit some of them took a couple of screens to get to). And the buttons most use were all easily visible. (you can also cusomize the speailty button layouts.) This was expensive to me- but 6th ave had the best price around- , but well worth every penny- to have a wife who can use the system without frustration.
