Digital camera reviews of Logitech Harmony 659 Advanced Universal Remote Control - Refurbished
Digital camera Review: Very nice, functional
Summary: 4 Stars
This remote was purchased mostly out of curiosity. It has turned out to be a favorite. Setup was easy - run the software and follow the steps. There are a few settings I would change, but it works just fine after the first setup.
The main thing I like is the strength of the beam. Our Comcast remote has to be aimed very carefully, which is awkward because the cable box is low, behind some furniture. The Harmony only has to be pointed in the general direction, not even with line-of-sight to the cable box.
The Harmony trademark keys do have a nice feel, but the button labels are a little hard to read because of the small type and their rounded, glossy surface. The back light, helpfully activated by a key with different texture, is a big advantage to reading the other key functions.
The HELP function is pretty nice, if only because the Harmony doesn't know if individual equipment is already on or off when it runs the command sequence, and doesn't have separate (discrete) IR commands for on or off.
I had no problems related to the fact that my purchase was refurbished. I could not even tell. I do not know all the reasons remotes get to be refurbished, so buyer beware...
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.Cameras and Photo
