Looking for the hottest universal remote currently available? Look no further than the Harmony Remote SST-768. TechTV Reviews made this remote one of their “Lab Picks” with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
What can it do? The Harmony Remote and its online setup make it easy to get your entertainment devices to work together. You get a simple remote with actual buttons as well as one-touch control over multiple devices. All information is stored in the unit’s 2MB of Flash memory, so a set of dead batteries won’t kill any presets you program in.
The Harmony Remote is the world’s only remote with Activity Control. Just scroll and click with the thumb wheel to choose an Activity such as “Watch Television” or “Watch a DVD” on the Harmony’s screen, and the Harmony Remote figures out how to set up the home theater without the need for ‘macros’. By selecting the activity, the appropriate commands are automatically sent to the entertainment devices, resulting in simple, intuitive control of even the most elaborate entertainment system.
Now you are wondering, how do they transfer your online configuration settings to the remote? Answer: USB
Then you are probably wondering how easy is it to configure with your existing devices? Answer: Some what easy
Excerpt about the process from Harmony:
[The] world’s only Smart State Database of electronic devices, set-up is a snap. Even if a brand new device is not already in the database, the Harmony Remote will “Learn” any command or add any IR device directly to the database. This way Harmony Remote will never be out of date, and changes are quick and easy.
