Features
Overview: The Harmony
Remote provides simple, intuitive control of even the most elaborate
entertainment system for anyone in the family. The remote setup is accomplished
through Harmony's interactive web site.
Setup: The Harmony Remote
Activities are configured through unique Web Wizard tools on HarmonyRemote.com.
Using Logitech's Smart State Database of electronic
devices you can easily customize the remote to your system. The database, together with IR
learning, ensures support of all infrared-controlled devices made by any
manufacturer, including TiVo, HDVCR, HDTV, Plasma Displays, Monitors,
Projectors, Lighting Control, CD/DVD-R, PVR (Personal Video Recorder), Satellite
Radios, Amplifiers, DVD Players, Receivers, Dual VCRs and even combination
devices like DVD-VCR components.
IR / RF Control: Logitech's
Harmony 890 remote control uses both radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR)
wireless signals to deliver powerful complete control of your home-entertainment
system that may be hidden behind cabinets. With a wireless range of up to 100
feet, the Harmony 890 remote sends RF commands to a wireless receiver, which
then blasts infrared signals to the components.
RF Wireless Extender:
- Contains a USB port to connect to
your computer for setup.
- Place the RF Extender no more
than 5 meters from A/V equipment if wall mounting Extender.
- Can control up to 8 devices with
the supplied 4 dual head IR emitters (Each emitter can control up to 2
devices).
- Attach emitters to the area where the
device receives the IR signal or to a surface above, below or in front of the
area where the device receives the IR signal. The mini-jack end plugs
directly into the Wireless Extender.
Backlighting: The buttons and
LCD display are backlit for easy nighttime use.
Lithium-ion Battery/Recharging Docking
Station: The Harmony 890 includes a removable rechargeable Lithium-ion battery,
which provides up to a
one-week charge under normal use. The remote comes with a docking
station that keeps the remote fully charged. Because the docking station is horizontal,
it allows the
remote to be used while charging.
Learning function: In addition
to the devices which can be entered using the web interface, this remote can
also learn most functions of other infrared remotes.
Activity Buttons: The Harmony Remote is
equipped with Smart State Technology Activity Control. You can press
an Activity button such as "Watch TV" or "Watch a Movie", and the Harmony Remote
will automatically set-up your entertainment system in seconds without you ever
having to program a 'macro'. There are eight activity buttons.
Interactive Multi-color Display:
Depending on the Activity you are enjoying, the Interactive Display offers
additional commands or options allowing you to fully control the Activity or
component.
Help: If you have a
problem completing an activity function, the help button will guide you through
the fix using the interactive multi-color display.
Flash Memory: The settings are
stored in 2MB of
non-volatile flash memory so they will never be lost, even when changing the batteries.
System
Off: One push of the off button
turns off all the equipment in your system.
