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

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.

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!
Dodgy charges ruins great product

This remote is awesome, replaced 4, looked great, and for a while, worked wonderfully. Then the charging dock started cutting out randomly. These charging issues became more frequent until, eventually, the unit went to sleep and never woke again. The horde of old, dusty, LCD-less remotes now clutter the coffee table again, mocking me....
Solid Item

Very easy to set up by entering your product numbers on-line while the remote is attached.
After I obtained each of my seven item numbers, it only took about 5 minutes and was working perfectly. The battery charger base could be better designed because if you do not set it firmly, the connections sometimes do not sync. My last one died after 3 years for some unknown reason.
It would be nice if the battery charger worked

Read reviews on the web by looking up harmony 880 battery charge as key words. As I have found out this model seems to have a design defect in the battery charging case. Lots of articles. Buyer has been warned

The product is very good and handles most systems fairly easily for installation. More complex systems require more effort but are workable. With a complex system once it is set up, there are just too many buttons to have to use. However I don't know how you would accomplish the complexity of these systems with fewer buttons. If you are a technofile you should have no problem with setting up and using this remote but if you are not it may become labor intensive. However I have also tried other cheaper models by other manufacturers that are almost impossible to use with complex systems. Therefore I rate this unit 4.5 stars.
