Logitech Harmony® 676 LCD Remote Control

Pros: Remote User friendly, Activity Based, Help Feature, Price point, Tivo Friendly, Ergonomics, Button Layout
Cons: Click Wheel, Internet Setup Software

I have previously owned several Harmony remotes (768 & 659). The 659 has been my fav for years. But I recently added a HD TIVO to my setup and the 659 does not work well with TIVO's. (Due to button placement) So went shopping for a new remote. ...

Pros: Ability to control A LOT of devices, and know when to turn them off/on.
Cons: YOU NEED an internet connection (no workaround)!!! Price.

I bought this piece of equipment based on the good reviews given here on this webpage, and also because it promised to do all the things I have, for years, expected universal remotes to do. I have NOT been disappointed! This control remote took my ...

Pros: Easily programmed and updated. Sturdy and easy enough to use for all family members.
Cons: Mediocre battery life with rechargeable and alkaline batteries. Needs internet connection.

I purchased this remote roughly 2 years ago, when I realized that my wife and (4 year old) son had a lot of difficulty controlling our Audio-Video setup, which consisted of an LCD TV, Tivo, Surround Sound receiver, and DVD player. There were too many ...

Pros: Activity based, backlight, LCD, web based programming, lightweight
Cons: the 4 aaa batteries don't last that long, especially during the initial programming phase.

Excellent remote. It is moreover quite easy to program, thanks to a web interface and to the included USB cable. On the other hand, if your computer is not in the same room as your a/v system, it can be quite a pain to correctly setup the remote. You ...

Pros: Almost limitless programming capability, making one-button control of multiple components possible.
Cons: Programming can take a while, but the results are worth it.

Like most, probably, I got a Harmony remote because of the frustration of some family members when faced with remotes for a Philips TV, a Sony receiver, an LG HD tuner, a Panasonic VCR, plus connections for a Gamecube and an N64. The Harmony 676 was a ...

Pros: Cool faceplates, "techie" looking, neat concept, nice software.
Cons: Packaging misleading, technical support inept, still a $100 universal remote.

I purchased this remote because I finally got fed up with needing 4 remotes to turn my DVD player on. On the back of the package it clearly states in bold print, "Works with all systems". So I think to myself, "self, this is from Logitech and seems to ...

Pros: Controls several different appliances
Cons: Inconsistent operation of my television when I hit the "watch TV button"

I must preface this critique by stating that I have only had this remote for a week. Considering what I paid for it, I had the idea that this remote was going to hit a home run. Perhaps I will train the operator (myself) and become more satisfied, but ...

Pros: Remote control is great!
Cons: Software interface stinks!

Purchased the remote online for a very good price and did read up on it here before purchasing. Did not understand the negative comments I found online TILL after owning and trying to use the remote. The remote itself is very well built and has ...

Pros: Controls every nuance in everything that is home entertainment, web site, user interface, backlight
Cons: Takes some time and patience to get there

Purchase through Set-up: I purchased this remote on sale, from Best Buy. I had a few RewardZone coupons burning a hole in my pocket, so I thought, "why not?" Why not indeed! For the past 6 months or so I've been using the Kameleon 8 in 1 universal, ...

Pros: Simplicity Accuracy Color cover choices to coordinate
Cons: Ummm.... it can't read your mind.

We bought our Logitech Harmony 676 LCD Remote Control about 6 months ago. I'm not sure how much we paid, but it was new on eBay, and paid about 2/3 of retail price. My husband is a techno guy, he has to have the newest piece of electronic equipment ...

Pros: Well built, defines "universal remote", plenty of features.
Cons: Not for the easily frustrated, setup isn't painless, expensive.

I purchased this remote on the hopes that it would manage to bring some order to the chaotic mess that was my entertainment system. We have a DVR and a DVD jukebox plus a cable box and receiver which all have different settings and outputs and buttons. ...

Pros: Replaced 4 remotes and does everything I need. Highly customizable. Good feel.
Cons: Hard learning curve. Poor documentation and slow customer support.

I use my Harmony to control my Philips TP3284 TV, Panasonic DMR-E85 DVR, Sony SLV-760 VCR, Pioneer VSX-5700 AV Receiver, and my Pioneer PD-M630 CD changer. I went from 4 remotes to 1. Initial set-up on the Harmony web site was very easy. However, ...
