2 out of 5 stars Could be better   July 22, 2008
I like that you can set it up to perform multiple functions with one press of the button, this feature would be great if it actually worked right more than 50% of the time. Half the time, the TV doesn't turn on from the first try - same goes when I try to turn it off.


5 out of 5 stars Change Your Mindset about Universal Remotes   July 17, 2008
I started looking for a universal remote when one of my component's remote failed.I was extremely skeptical about a universal because I had used a universal before and they were a pain.

THIS remote is completely different. Completely change your mindset about how a remote works. It works on a specific activity (i.e. watch TV, watch a DVD, listen to the radio, etc.) rather than trying to specifically operate a component. For instance, when you press "play DVD", the volume button controls the receiver, the TV automatically changes to the right inputs, the play button operates the DVD player, etc. It is so intuitive.

ONE NOTE: It took me a couple tries to realize that once you press an "activity" like "Play DVD" it takes about 10 seconds for all of the components to be activated and changed to the right settings. I thought it wasn't working right at first, but it was just me being impatient.

Wonderful product. Anyone that has 4-5 components, or 7 like I do, should get this.



5 out of 5 stars About as good as it gets   July 16, 2008
I just received this remote today and had it set up and completely working in about 30 min. First thing to do is make sure the remote is compatible with your equipment prior to ordering by visiting the logitech / harmony website, it is very easy to navigate and find out if you are covered.

The remote itself is a breeze to set up. Make sure you know what the model number and make of all your equipment is and what input they are connected to on your TV. The program will walk you through the rest. and once you test it on your components the remote will help you with issues that come up with a simple to navigate help menu on the remote itself.

I can't say enough good things about this remote. It works perfectly with my system:
Samsung LN40A550P HDTV, Sony all in one home theatre DAV-DX255, and a Scientific Atlanta HD-DVR.

Do yourself a favor and get rid of all those remotes and have this one sleek remote do it all for you.



5 out of 5 stars Best product for price!   July 16, 2008
Could have not asked for a better universal remote at this price. Amazon makes things very easy and free shipping is always a plus.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!   July 14, 2008
This thing is great!

It controls everything, easy to use, and won't break the bank.

Currently I am controlling the following

Direct TV-DVR
Onyko AV receiver
Sayno 2000 DVD/VHS combo
Sony 5 disc cd changer
Apple Macbook Pro

I was pleasantly surprised it worked on my DVD/VHS combo as other universal remotes I had owned didn't. But the biggest surprise was that it worked on my apple macbook pro. As I'm sure many of you know, macbook pro's don't come with a remote and apple charges you $30 for one.

The activities are really nice. It's kinda a pain when your leaving on vacation and you have to leave detailed instructions with the house sitter on how to turn everything on to watch TV. The 550 makes it a piece of cake, one button turns on all the necessary components and turns the TV to the correct channel.

Not too shabby for a $50 remote.
