Logitech Harmony 880
Advanced Universal Remote
The Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote puts you in control of your entire audio-video system with just one button. It´s home entertainment the way it should be—simple.
Optimized for complicated HDTV and PVR systems, the Harmony 880 helps you tame tough configurations like switching your television between video aspect ratios depending on the program source. The interactive color display lets you quickly choose a 16:9 ratio for movies and HDTV, or a standard 4:3 ratio for basic television programming.
High-end systems deserve a high-end remote. Designed with brushed chrome and charcoal accents, a color LCD display and a low-profile recharging station, the Harmony 880 Remote will match your most advanced audio-video components perfectly.
Logitech has won a total of eight Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) in the past two years, including five of Japan´s prestigious 2004 Good Design Awards. This experience helped us design the Harmony 880. Featuring a comfort grip shape and a centered directional pad, it fits easily in your hand and naturally guides you to the most frequently used controls. Even the buttons are sculpted, to help you locate them by feel not sight.
Smart State Technology allows the Harmony remote to completely control an entertainment system by knowing how to control each separate component while tracking the current state of up to 15 devices simultaneously.
Color Display
Why settle for another boring remote? The Harmony 880´s color LCD is both functional and stylish, with user-customizable backgrounds, button icons and text.
Recharging Station
Never replace batteries again. The Harmony 880 includes a sleek docking station that keeps the remote fully charged. Your family will always know where to put the remote—and you´ll always know where to find it!
Easy To Set-Up
Just connect your Harmony remote to your computer and the Web wizard walks you step-by-step through a simple set up. Enter in your model numbers for your components, then answer a few easy questions about how you “Watch TV” or “Watch a DVD.” You´ll be controlling even the most complex system without any of the hassles of elaborate macro-programming.
Easy To Use
The Harmony Remote is the world´s only remote with Smart State Technology®. Just press one of the Activity buttons, such as “Watch TV” or “Listen to Music,” and your Harmony Remote automatically sets up your entertainment system, without you ever having to program a "macro."
Easy To Get Help
With the Harmony remote, you don´t have to know anything about your entertainment system to operate it. No sound? No picture? No problem! There´s even a handy “HELP” button to guide you through simple troubleshooting and get you back in control. Everyone from the kids to the babysitter can now enjoy the full home theater experience.
Never Out of Date
The Harmony Remote device database is constantly updated with new components and fine-tuned settings. Simply connect it to your computer using its USB interface, and your remote is updated automatically!

We had one of these 880s and when we automated our home systen with a HDMI switch to sahre devices we bouight three more. The Harmony software pick and choose device lists are very complete for old and new devices. If you have a PS3 then buy the Logitech PS3 adapter to convert your 880 IR to PS3 radio wave.
The All-in-one for all the devices in your life

We bought this remote to replace an older model which didn't survive being hurled across the room every so often. We really like the features of the remotes in this series. The only issue we have with this remote are the number buttons are extremely sensetive.
simply amazing

just got this remote and set it up, what an amazing device, I had lost the remote to my VCR which was 10 years old and this untit picked up the codes and went to work, Also has codes as up to date as my new Blu ray player, set up is super easy. If you don;t have one of these, save yourself the headache of multiple remotes and buy one!
One of the best!!

I have owned my harmony for about 3 years now and I got frustrated when I read these reviews. This remote makes the most complex home theatre systems operable by anyone. My wife a self proclaimed non-techy can run our system as a direct result of this remote. I will give you that it will take about an hour to program if you have alot of equipment. Once the initial programming is complete you are set to roll. In regards to the whole battery issue I have yet to experience anything negative besides me not setting it correctly on the charger. GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT REMOTE TO SIMPLFY YOUR LIFE!
