Digital camera reviews of Logitech Harmony 659 Advanced Universal Remote Control - Refurbished
Digital camera Review: A little long to set up.... but works excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
*NOTE* For those who say the remote is slow, this is because the remote is set to have a high delay between button presses by default! To change this in the Harmony software, go to the Devices tab. Then for each device, hit Settings. Click "Adjust the delays" and hit Next. Now set the Inter-key and Inter-device delay to 0 and hit Next until it brings you back.
The only other option people might want to go through is the "Adjust power settings". Try "A button on the remote for On, another button for off". Then hit Next. Even though your old remote doesn't have these buttons, for most devices Logitech has the remote codes for "Only turn On" and "Only turn Off"! Select "I don't have the original remote...", then select "PowerOn". If your device doesn't have a "PowerOn" option, then unfortunately your device doesn't support this option. Hit Cancel. Otherwise, if it does, hit Next and select "PowerOff" appropriately. Now program it and test it out! Turn your device on using the old remote. Now hit the appropriate activity button on the Logitech remote. Your device should remain turned on.
I bought this remote refurbished from Amazon and it came looking brand new! In fact, the refurbished models are better because Logitech seems to have fixed a keypad issue. On the brand new store displays, I noticed there's a button-hole alignment issue and they keys stick when pressed. The refurbished model I received doesn't do that.
Pros: I condensed 3 remotes down to 1!
Cons: The play, pause, etc keys are at the bottom of the remote, so they require 2 hands to use.
Definitely worth the money for the activity buttons alone!
Summary of Logitech Harmony 659 Advanced Universal Remote Control - Refurbished
A good universal remote may control an entire home entertainment system, but more often than not, it also looks like the instrument panel of the space shuttle, with dozens of intimidating and confusing keys. Enter the Logitech Harmony 659 remote, which is not only simple to program and use, but also consolidates a user's preferences for watching TV, viewing movies, or listening to music into three clearly labeled buttons. Simply press the Watch a Movie, Watch TV, or Listen to Music button to activate all the appropriate equipment--including surround sound components--and the remote does the rest. The device will automatically switch to your favorite settings for each component, while offering you a host of customized controls on its interactive LCD screen. It's called Smart State Technology, and it puts you and your family back in control of your home theater system. The Harmony 659 is compatible with everything from surround sound systems to satellite and digital cable boxes to DVD players. As a further enticement, Logitech includes two free months of TV listings. For the computer setup to work properly, users will need to own USB-equipped computers running Windows 98 SE, 2000, Me, or XP or Macintosh OS X 10.2 or later.Remote Controls
