How did I ever live without this?Casey A. HenryPros: Easy to use, easy to program, supports Xbox 360 out-of-the-boxCons: Some of the usual Harmony buttons are missing, small number pad takes some getting used to, ExpensiveThis is not my first Harmony remote. Even though I don't yet have a 360 (I know I'll be getting one sooner or later), I decided to go ahead and upgrade so that I could pass my older Harmony 688 on to a relative who really could use it. As soon as I heard about this remote, I knew I had to have one. As someone who is excited about the Media Center Extender abilities of the new Xbox 360 (because I've been looking for a way to hear my multiple gigabytes of mp3's and wma's through my home theater's sound system), I was thrilled to find out that I'd be able to use a Harmony remote to control the 360.I really need say only one thing about this remote (or any other Harmony remote, for that matter), and that is that once you've used this device for a week or two, you'll wonder how you ever got along without one. Sure, I've got small gripes about the Harmony 360. Because of the added Xbox 360 compatibility, some of the buttons usually present on other Harmony remotes (such as Sound, Picture, Page Up/Down, and dedicated Activity buttons) have been replaced by the YXAB buttons necessary to emulate the Xbox 360 controller's inputs. Additionally, the number pad feels as if it's been squished into the bottom of the remote; the number buttons are extremely small and very tightly packed together, and I've already inadvertently switched to the wrong channel several times. And then there's the price: $130 initially seems a bit high for a remote. However, I firmly believe--and I don't say this lightly--that this remote is worth every penny of its price tag (even without the $30 rebate for 360 owners).Read more ›
Finally - A Universal Remote that is UniversalC. MurphyThis thing rocks!I do not have a X-Box 360 yet, but I bought this in anticipation of getting the new X-Box. Really what makes this an X-Box remote is a pre-configured profile for X-Box and the Y X A B buttons (like on the controller).What you get with this is an impossible to open (like all things in plastic these days) package - but in that package is a software CD, a set of 4 AAA batteries, a USB cable, and the remote. The remote has 4 AAA batteries installed, but these MUST be replaced by the inlcuded extra batteries. It won't work otherwise.The remote is configured online using a very extensive database. The remote works by creating "profiles." For example, when setting up the remote, there are already templates ready to go: Watch TV, Watch DVD, Listen to Radio, Play X-Box, Play CD's, and Watch VCR. You tell the software what you have (you will need your model numbers) and asks how your setup works. When all is ready, the Watch TV action does the following (for me anyway): Turns on the TV, turns on cable box, sets the TV inputs and I am ready to go. For DVD: Turns on TV, turns on receiver, turns on DVD, sets TV inputs, sets receiver to DVD.How cool is that.The difficulty was my TV. I had to do some tweaking in the setup - learing new commands and re-assigning keys - mostly because their database did not have the correct commands for my remote.What remotes are not in the database can be easily learned, and you can completely re-configure the "profiles" as you wish.It takes some time to set up but it is well worth it. I have no need for any of my other remotes: TV, Cable, VCR, Receiver, DVD, Media Center, and CD.This is truly a Universal remote!
Life is so uncluttered and simple nowA. C. Ege/AcedohI just bought this remote and I can't get over how simple life is now. Let me get rid of all those remotes hanging around. With a touch of a button I can have my 360 on and running perfectly. The same with all my other units. I couldn't get over how simple the program makes this remote to set up. Well worth the price.
If your life revolves around the 360...Bryan Coxthen you really should get this remote. As for me, mine does not, but I bought it any way because Ive heard good things about Harmony remotes. This is my first Harmony remote if you havent gathered that yet. I must admit that having this remote allows my fiancee to enjoy the home theatre that I have put together, without this remote she would probably rely on the TV's speakers. Logitech includes the necessary software and USB cable to get you up and rollin'. I have a Sony HD, JVC Digital A/C Rec., XBOX 360, XBOX, PS2, and a Sony DVD Player all purchased in the past 6 months, so the hint is its all new stuff. The Harmony website makes programming the remote easy, I would say very easy but there were more than just a couple when I had to restart a function. The compatability of this remote and nearly all other Harmony remotes is phenominal. I have never heard of 90% of the brands the Harmony remotes support, WOW! In the case of this remote it is pre-prgrammed to support the XBOX 360. I am very meticulous in the care and use of my home theatre so it took me a few hours to program this remote, if you arent so peticular it could take as little as 15 minutes. I dont like the look of this remote so much, its monochrome green screen doesnt have the cool factor that the 880 and 890 have (check them out!) but the glow feature wow'd me for the first day, its very bright....in case of a power outage just grab your Harmony. In the time I spent setting up my remote I havent used all the customization options for this remote. For example when I tap the watch DVD button I plan to have all the components turn on, the rec'r change to the proper input and have the DVD door open ready to accept a new disc, yes you can do this.Read more ›
