Customer Reviews

My second unit
This is my second unit. It like the functionality but there are serious issues with the base unit not charging the battery after the unit has been in use for a while. Before you purchase check the internet sites and you will see a lot of complaints regarding this problem.

Great Product!
This remote does exactly what it's supposed to do and is a huge improvement over the 550 series which I previously had. The rechargeable battery makes the price difference worthwhile. This remote is durable and very easily programmable. It is also laid out very nicely.

Very Good Remote
This is the 2nd Harmony remote I've purchased, the first being a 659 two years ago. I still use the 659, which took the place of 7 remotes.

I use this to control the following:

Samsung HL61A750 61-Inch 1080p LED Powered DLP HDTV
Onkyo TX-SR605 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)
Onkyo DV-SP405 Progressive Scan DVD Player with HDMI Output Black
Phillips DSX-5500 satellite receiver (waiting for new unit upgrade to HD)

I didn't bother with installing the cd, I just downloaded the latest version of the software. It took me 15 minutes to configure the remote. I took the time to write down the model numbers as the software was downloading.

How does it work? It works great! Just as with the 659, only no batteries to replace. The charger means I have a place to store the remote ( the biggest problem I had with the older 659 was, where did I put it?). The wife just has to pick it up, push "Watch TV" and all the right equipment come on. As some posters have stated, if there's a problem, the help button really does help solve the issue.

I expect this remote to last for a long time. No regrets here.
This is a no-brainer, you'll love it.
