As you know there are bascially two kinds of universal remotes : your average generic sort and the top-of-the-range model. The former is usually made of grey plastic, sports no display panel nor any particular design, but it’s dead cheap. The latter, on the other hand, looks suave, boasts an LCD touch panel and features numerous bewildering functions like an airplane cockpit, and come at a certain cost.
That’s often where the rub is, so Logitech made a special effort for their new model, Harmony 1000, which looks like one of your second category remotes, sophisticated and pricey, while it’s actually affordable and user-friendly !
The Harmony 1000 comes in plush aluminium with a 3.5in LCD touch panel and 9 control keys. The panel gives you easy access to the main functions and the rest is done using the keys. Every infra-red device in your home will be within reach, and so even from another room, with the optional RF Logitech Harmony Wireless.
The Harmony 1000 is easy to operate with simply defined functions for each catagory of electronic equipment. The Smart State Technology will let you know as soon as something’s wrong and it’s equipped with an intuitive Web interface by Logitech. So you won’t get a headache on this one !
- Out this Fall for 399€.
- The RF Logitech Wireless Extender at 99€.
