Logitech Harmony 670 Advanced Universal Remote

Would Buy Again

Strengths: Easy to Setup. Huge list of compatible components.

Weakness: Price. Truncated titles in display. If you change anything on one of your components, like power or input, the remote will not work correctly and you will need to use the help function.

Overall a great remote. I would wait for a sale before buying because over $100 is too much to pay. I got it for $90 minus some rebates. I use rechargeable batteries so I don't have an issue with battery life. One reviewer mentioned that the display items get truncated and it does make it a bit annoying to find the correct function. My main issue with this remote is that if you make changes to...

First review of any product - this thing is SWEET!

Strengths: Easy Set Up; I put away 6+ remotes; My Home Theater/Audio Systems now has flawless integration

Weakness: One minor one...cant make your own macros to say lower the volume automatically when switching from TV to Audio

Like I stated previously, I rarely get on a soapbox about a product. This is worth the effort. Seamless integration, complete control, intuitive setup, and simplicity. Wish I had gotten this years ago.

Harmony 670

Strengths: Computer Programmable; good button layout

Weakness: Software is not a flexible as it should be and it a bit buggy; screen is hard to read when it's not backlit

I also have a Home Theater Master MX-500 that has been moved into the bedroom, while the Harmony is used for the Home Theater/Living Room. The MX-500 is great, but it has a few weaknesses. It doesn't connect to a computer, so all programming is done through the remote. This means that buttons cannot be moved and only commands either on the original remote or in the HTM database can be programmed....

Harmony 670

Strengths: Location and feel of all the buttons. Easy one-hand use.

Weakness: A little pricey. Glow of buttons only limited to 20 seconds.

I have had both the fancy Sonys - the 3000 and 4000. They took two hands to operate; you had to look at the touch screen to make sure you hit the correct button. This remote I can use with one hand and do not need to look at it any more than I would have to look at any remote. Great for pvr pause/play action - the sony was lousy for that. I did not want the 880 or 890 due to the docking station...

Logitech Harmony 670 Review

Strengths: Works with all my components, Good layout, Simple to use, Tech support very good, Help button great, Very customizable

Weakness: Web/app setup a little clunky-some selections are counterintuitive, All changes have to be done through computer, Slow download of settings file

--I received this remote and got it setup for all my components. They were all listed and worked after initial setup. The web/app setup is a little bit counterintuitive at times. However, once playing around with it for a bit, you can find all you need. I did have to "learn" a couple less common buttons from the original remote, but that worked well. However, downloading to the remote takes up to...

Best Universal Remote I have Used

Strengths: Works with all entertainment center products-old and new

Weakness: Set-up is a bit confusing

I have a Macintosh iMac G5, running OS X (10.4.8). CD software loaded and updated without hastle. It found all the products in my entertainment center, from an old Sharp VCR to a new Samsung HiDef TV. It did not immediately know all the inputs on my Pioneer DVD AV Surround System, but it had a quick fix (as long as I had the original Pioneer remote, if not I am not sure how it would have...

Another Great Logitech Harmony Remote

Strengths: Controls Everything. Very Customizable. Comfortable Feel in your Hand.

Weakness: Small Buttons. Learning IR Sensor is Very Sensitive.

I bought this remote for my parents after they used my 880 with my system and didn't have to ask me "How do I turn on the TV?". I would have to say that the 670 is a little brother of the 880. I was successful in configuring the 670 for my parents setup. They have a Toshiba HDTV and DVD, RCA VCR and Receiver, and SA HD DVR. It took about an hour for the initial setup, and then couple more to...

Harmony 670 Universal Remote

Strengths: (1) Comfortable design (2) Good trouble-shooting assistance via "Help" button (3) Works well with newer and older componants

Weakness: (1) Goes through batteries much quicker than regular remote

This is my first all-in-one type remote, but the setup was pretty intuitive. It did not take long to gain control of all of my equipment. When I did encounter a problem, the Help button walked me through the fix. It's nice to condence multiple configurations of audio level/channel, video device and TV channel/input into simpler commands like "Watch TV" and "Listen to Music". Overall, a great...

A Smart Universal - well done Logitech

Strengths: Activity functions. Recognizing my components, web based customization.

Weakness: A tad small on buttons, but that helps keep it compact.

Within 30 minutes had DirecTV, PVR, HD-DVD, AV-Receiver, and Panasonic 42" working harmoniously. Love the activity buttons ("Watch DVD", "Listen to Music" etc.). After starting with the desktop software, I moved to the web based customization -- members.harmonyremote..... This lets you customize or map buttons/functions to your heart's content. Easy to do the basics - I changed defaults to leave...

Almost the only Remote you will ever need.

Strengths: I started using my remote after 10 minutes of setting it up on my laptop. My wife can finally switch from cable to a movie without asking for help.

Weakness: Sometimes a device will not turn on, the help menu will fix the problem its just annoying. Or lets say the TV was turned on manually the remote will turn it off. Not a major issue.

I'm really happy with my Harmony 670. Its not perfect but I don't think any $500 remote will do a better job. I liked these design over the others b/c there is a light button and a good layout. I do most things without looking down at the remote a real plus over some other models. Another benefit are the 6 programmable buttons (there is a next screen that will allow for more!) Also the 6 main...
