Best way to simplify your life!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am so happy I finally gave in and got the Harmony 650. It is also extremely easy to set up using the online site. I simplified my tv, Sonos system, cable box, bluray player with smart prog, and an older dvd player. I only have to use one instead of 5 separate remotes. Also the price was a steal at $50.

The Harmony remote is aptly named.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got tired of trying to find remotes for each of my devices. I had a unique remote for my Xbox, DVR, av receiver, TV, and HDMI box. I lost one remote, one device didn't come with a remote and finding batteries was a pain. In came the Harmony remote and completely blew me away. Setup via the computer was easy. All I had to do was input the models for my devices and the software set everything up. I subtracted 1 star for the fact that it took several tries to sync the remote the first time. After that it has worked perfectly even with an off brand HDMI switching box and the controls for the Xbox one.

Great remote
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have three of the logitech harmony remotes 550,670, and now the 650. I brought this remote for the bed room to control the sony blu ray,comcast,samsung tv,apple tv and ilive sound bar. The other remotes i use in the living room and the man cave. I have found that the logitech remotes are the best to use. Set up is great and my wife can use them that there makes this remote priceless.

Super easy to use yet powerful remote
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this remote to cut down on the number of remotes for my home theater room. Not only have i cut the number of remotes to ONE but the actions that this remote can take with the push of one button are amazing. I can go to watching satellite television to a BluRay movie to using AppleTV with the push of one button for each. The one-button selection changes the audio receiver input and video hardware source. It also powers down the video source that is no longer needed. All with the push of ONE button! AMAZING! When you are ready to let your home theater rest, ONE button powers down ALL active devices. Best of all an onscreen display!

This is the best remote I have ever bought .
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a universal remote that would work for every device ever made and this one is the one that will do that . I have devices that I bought many universal remotes for to find out that they wouldn't program to my devices . You also have another one that is the newer version of the one I bought but the price is $150 which I think is way too much for a universal remote . It was priced at $250 when I purchased the one I decided on the day I purchased the one I'm writing this review for . Not to put down Best Buy because I love shopping there but I think $150 for the newer version of the one I purchased from you is almost as much as buying a new TV these days . I still think the one I did purchase is the best universal remote I have ever purchased .

A five (5) star rating from me!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Harmony 650 is my first Logitech remote. Out of the box, I was able to set it up in about 30 minutes, including downloading the software from the Logitech website. I’m truly using just one remote to control all of my Sony products and the patience trying cable box. The I’m somewhat amazed what the device will do if you take the time to set things up with favorite channels and so forth. All things considered, the price of this remote was worth it. Logitech has me curious as to what all the other pricier remotes can do?

Revolutionary Concept in multi-function remotes
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To program the device, you need the make/model of your device, the TV input it is linked to, and a laptop or computer with a USB port that has internet connectivity. The remote has shortcut buttons for key/common devices (cable, dvd, music). It is important to identify the correct TV input for each device, because the remote can be programmed to automatically switch the TV from it's current input to the input you've linked for the shortcut button. Programming occurs via a Harmony website application, and once you go through the initial remote programming, subsequent customization changes are fairly simple to implement. The LED display area is used efficiently, and is the reason the function versatility in this remote is not attainable in basic all-in-one remotes. Device shortcut buttons allow you to link TV functionality with a device type. The remote is smart enough to know certain functions should be linked to the device and others to the TV (ex. using the "Watch TV" shortcut button for your cable/satellite box. Changing channels are linked to the cable box, while changing volume is linked to the TV). However, you are able to switch to device only control if some commands/functions are not available from the device shortcut menu. Once you understand how to access the device specific menu, then the true power and genius of this remote is realized. Don't be surprised if one remote for the living room/entertainment room turns into one remote for each room in the house with multiple remote controls.

does everything I want it to do
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setting up the remote was more difficult than I thought it would be, so I had to ask our son to come over and set it up for me. The prompts to follow were confusing and so he went to a chat room to see how other people set it up. So, initially, to set it up was NOT and easy matter. Of course, once our son saw how others had set it up, he easily completed the task of pairing it with all of our equipment. In the final analysis, it was a SNAP :)

Q: QuestionIs it backlitThx for answers to my other question. Another thing I wonder is it is backlit, so I can see the buttons in the dark bedroom? Thanks
Asked by Joe.
- A:Answer 100%, every button is backlit, as well as the LCD screen. When you pick the remote up or push a button, the backlight comes on. When you set it down or don't push a button for a few seconds (entirely customizable, from 1 second to minutes) the backlight automatically shuts off to conserve battery life.

Q: QuestionAre there buttons for everything common?I was looking at it carefullly in the local B.B. and I couldn't see buttons for thing like: Return (back), Recall (previous channel) CC or the vrious 8 devices. The Sony 8-Device unit has these at less than half the price. What gives?
Asked by gator76.
- A:Answer Yes, it does. The reason you didn't see the buttons for Return (back), Recall (previous channel), etc. is because they're symbols. To go back to the previous channel you were watching there's a horizontal arrow that hooks around. In order to see the devices you have to program them into the remote first. Read my review dated 5/1/15. The Geek Squad guy programmed mine for me when they came and hooked-up my new Sony TV. He explained how everything worked and what I could and couldn't do with it and the only thing I can't do is operate my PS3 with the fast forward, reverse buttons, etc. He explained to me that I would have to use the controller, but as far as turning it on and off, i.e., the PS3, I can do that. The remote is seriously the TRUTH!!! As far as the cost is concerned I didn't spend over $60.00 for it, which I think was great. They do have a more expensive one though that may be a bit more sophisticated. I can operate this universal remote exactly like I operated each remote I had for the individual devices I had. It's great and you won't go wrong if you purchase it. Believe me it's worth it especially if you have to use 3 different remotes like I did before I brought this one.

Q: QuestionMy PC is running WIN10.Has the software for this remote been upgraded to allow me to use it once it has been purchased?
Asked by ElCee.
- A:Answer Yes it will work with Windows 10.

Q: QuestionDoes it know what devices are already on?Does this remote remember what devices are already on? For example, if I am watching TV and I decide to play my Xbox One (and hit the Xbox or Gaming Programmed Activity) does it realize the TV is already on and just change the input or will it run the command to turn the TV on, which turns the TV off?
Asked by JeffIN.
- A:Answer It remembers what the device settings are for the current activity. Example: Current activity is watch tv. Your TV is on, the cable box is on, the av receiver is on. When you select the "play xbox" activity, it will (if programmed appropriately) change the tv input to the right input, turn off the cable box, switch inputs on the av reciever and turn on the xbox. When you select off, it will then turn the tv off, the reciever off and the xbox...but it will know that the cable box is already off and not toggle the power

Q: Questionwill this work in place of a roku remote?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer This will work with any Roku device that has infrared remote capability. I have a Roku 2 XS that can use either Roku's Bluetooth remote or a Roku infrared remote. The Harmony 650 works with my 2 XS perfectly. The Harmony 650 will not work with the Roku Stick because it uses an RF (radio frequency) remote. If you look up Roku on Wikipedia, you can see a chart that lists what type of remote capability your particular Roku has.

Q: QuestionDoe it operate Apple tv
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes. They say on the controller configuration app to make sure you're running the latest version of the OS on the Apple TV. I am and it controls my Apple TV great. It's nice having one control for everything.

Q: QuestionCan this remote control Amazone FireTV Stick? If so How do I program it?
Asked by Robbin5371.
- A:Answer I just finished setting up my remote and I also have an Amazon Fire TV Stick. When you are in set up and adding your devices, add in Amazon Fire Stick. Harmony will recognize that you have Amazon Fire set up, but will give you an error that it will not be able to change the channels for you. It will ask you if you still want to add it anyways, say yes. I do not have cable, just Amazon Fire. There is a button at the top of your remote that says watch TV. I programmed that button to turn on my TV and to go to Input 3 where I have my Amazon Fire Stick plugged into. I then have to pick up my Amazon Fire TV remote to turn on the stick and change the channels. My harmony remote turns on the TV and adjusts the volume. I will still have to use two remotes, but it is a heck of a lot better then 6 remotes.
