Our take on the Logitech® Harmony® 1000

The Logitech Harmony 1000 universal remote lets you easily control even the most advanced audio/video system. Its generous 3-1/2" color display uses an innovative touchscreen menu to simplify complex system adjustments. And the Harmony 1000's straightforward Internet-based setup makes it a snap to program.

Program your remote easily over the web
Connect your Harmony remote to your computer with the supplied USB cable to get started. Go to the Harmony Remote website and answer some simple questions about the components you have and how they're set up. When you're done, the site automatically programs your remote accordingly. Plus, it remembers information about your setup, making it quick and easy to reprogram the remote if you add components down the road.

Intuitive touchscreen controls
The easy-to-read touchscreen display features "Activity" buttons for one-touch control of your system. For example, to play a DVD, just press "Watch a DVD." The remote instantly evaluates your system, turns on or off the appropriate components, selects the proper settings, and starts the DVD player. The remote's screen then changes to show the controls you'll need for watching a DVD — like play, pause, skip, and volume.

Optional RF control
The Harmony 1000 can also send radio frequency (RF) commands in addition to regular IR (infrared) signals. This lets you control audio/video equipment that's connected to a Harmony RF Wireless Extender (available separately) whether your gear's installed in a closet, in a cabinet, or even another room.

Features

Overview: The Harmony advanced universal 1000 touch-screen 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.

3.5" Touch Screen: The Harmony 1000 Remote features a brilliant full-color 3.5" touch-screen with large, colorful icons that provide easy functionality and control. You can actually select or add your own backgrounds for the display.

One Touch Activity Control: The Harmony 1000 uses Activity Control to give you one-touch control of your entertainment system of up to 15 separate components. You can use one of the touch-screen's Activity buttons to power on your TV, DVD player, A/V receiver, set all your inputs and even activate play without having to program time consuming macros. Once all of your equipment is "on", the buttons on the remote are also automatically configured for the appropriate operation.

Computer-Based Setup: The Harmony Remote Activities are configured through unique Web Wizard tools on HarmonyRemote.com with the supplied software CD-ROM via a USB connection between the Harmony Remote and your PC (USB cable supplied). 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.

Compatibility: The Harmony 1000 remote controls everything from HDTV's to PVR/DVR's, from laserdiscs to VCR's, and even lighting controls. Logitech's on-line database includes 5,000+ brands and 175,000+ IR device codes.

IR/RF Commands: The Harmony 1000 sends both infrared and radio frequencies making it possible to control devices without pointing or direct line-of-sight. In order to use the remote's RF commands, you will also need the Harmony RF Wireless Extender (part # 596RFEXT, sold separately). When the remote and RF extender are used together, you can control equipment inside a cabinet or even in the next room.

Lithium-ion Battery/Recharging Docking Station: The Harmony 1000 includes a removable rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. The remote comes with a docking station that keeps the remote fully charged. The remote is charged in an upright, horizontal position. Before using the remote for the first time the battery should be charged for about 8 hours.

Languages: The Harmony 1000 allows you to choose from English, German, Spanish, French or Portuguese for the menu language.

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.

Touch-Screen Numeric Keypad: The remote features a touch screen numeric keypad that can be activated to allow you to go directly to a channel on your TV.

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.

Hard Keys: The unit not only features a touch-screen panel but it also utilizes Hard-Keys as well, such as volume and channel up and down buttons, search arrow keys, an OK (enter) button and a Back button.

System Off: One push of the off button turns off all the equipment in your system.

System Requirements:

  • Windows System:
    • Microsoft Windows 2000, XP or Vista
    • USB Port
    • CD-ROM drive
    • Internet access

Are you kidding me

Written By Edward, Charlotte, NC on Saturday, March 07, 2009
 
The only reason that this review is a one star is that a "no star" was not an option. My two reasons are:
1. It is not easy to set up. It took numerous calls to the help line to find an Indian dialect that I could understand. Finally when I found one, I discovered that they had failed to inform me that a critical firmware update was required. I could have completed a doctoral dissertation in the time required to set up the Harmony 1000.
2. The touch screen does not work well. A nano-technology pointer is required and then one must hit the exact pixel on the screen to make a selection. Otherwise one gets a random distribution of the displayed functions. Forget using your finger, and forget trying to fast forward through the ads.
My advice is to get a remote with buttons.

The Best

Written By Andrew, Blacksburg, VA on Tuesday, February 17, 2009
 
What a great device. I didn't have any problem setting it up, or making changes. Using the wireless extender, I can control my XM portable device, Yamaha Receiver, Denon Receiver, Cable Box and Blue Ray player, all when they are closed up behind solid wood cabinet doors. I have expanded my use to other TV locations in the house, and I have a separate button for each room or activity. It is too bad that some of the writers here had less luck than me. I was set up and rolling in 10 minutes, and I can make a change as needed in a short amount of time, and reprogram my device. I would recommend to all.

Not user friendly

Written By Lonnie, SW USA on Monday, February 09, 2009
 
I have had this remote for a week now and have had to call tech support 3 times to get things working correctly. I know, your probably thinking "he's just a dummy" but I dont think so. The self programming is not user friendly or intuitive so when you get stuck you must call. When you call they will get it working the way you want but you will still not know how to do it yourself. Just be sure to find out everything you want to know the remote in the first 60 days because after that you are cut off of live support! Also, I was told by the tech today that the software needs to be updated. A new version is due out in a couple of months so that it will display the time and slideshow like it is supposed to. I mean for crying out loud, they sent this thing out and they cant even get the time to show correctly! My opinion is that it is that even though I like the device and the concept is nice, but this thing is just not ready for the market. I have a couple of weeks left in my Crutchfield return window so I will use that time to decide. If I return I will follow up with another post. Good luck!

Works well, but Ergonomically Unusable

Written By Bill, Stamford, CT on Monday, February 09, 2009
 
Logitech software works well. Crutchfield was excellent. The problem is that the unit does not sit in your hand very well. I wanted the best remote and this is the best. However, you always needed to be looking at the unit to press a hard button or a soft button on the touchscreen. I returned this item and bought a Harmony 890. This model is shaped like a traditional remote and has only hard buttons. The advantage is that 1) you can press the correct button without looking at the unit and 2) the functions of the hard buttons can be changed for your own needs. This creates more programming options for the advanced user. The 890 still has a color screen with hard buttons to choose what is on the color screen.

In sum, the unit works fine, but is a real pain to use. Buy the 890 advanced instead!

difficult setup

Written By Lee, atlanta, ga on Monday, February 09, 2009
 
i purchased this remote because of the RF feature. my componenets are in the closet behind the flatscreen tv. it was difficuklt to get all the older components to synch up (the old tivo and old cable box) however it was a temporary ordeal as we awaited the arrival of our new tivo hd box with cable cards. now i have only one box instead of the two, and can use the hdmi cable instead of the component cable. deleting the old components and adding the new one to the remote was easy and everything seems to work fine. i'm looking forward to adding some other thing to the remote (light dimmers etc) 4/5 because of the problem with the old components

Logitech® Harmony® 1000

Written By Michael, Yorba Linda Ca on Tuesday, February 03, 2009
 
The setup on this remote is real easy to perform. Keypad is easy to use and beats having multiple remotes around. The only problem is that once in a while the remote locks up and in order to reset you must remove the battery.

Smply the best!!!

Written By Adam, Washington, PA on Sunday, January 04, 2009
 
Someone who has a lot of gear like me this is the best thing that could happen. 8 hours of charging out of the box and you are ready to download, go online, program and enjoy. I have to admit the programming is pretty easy, but I did have to go back a couple of times and fine tune how my remote works with all of my components. The touch screen is a great feature and with the ease of use that my wife and parents can understand how to use it(Thats impressive). Finally I don't have 8 remotes on the coffee table, just one.

great product! does what it says

Written By Derek, Denver colorado on Sunday, January 04, 2009
 
this product is great it was super easy to set up but of course i had to fine tune it to be personalized. the only reason i gave it four stars intead of five is because it did take me about two hours to program but like i said i did have to make it my own. it would have taken me about 20 min just with the software. I only had one conflict with my projector because you need to press the power button twice to turn it off, but with a few setting changes it worked. i also changed the background and made a slide show for when it is placed on the charging dock. my theatre is only about 11" by 8" and all my components are in sight but i had no problem conecting to all my components. BUYERS BEWARE if you did not set up your own system i would not recommend this it really requires you to know how it is set up. they are very basic questions but it may be frustrating if you had it set up by someone else. i also used the IR detector to add controls for a cheaper brand motorized screen that was not in the data base but i did this with ease. i programmed the buttons for this to be used only when my projector was on and it works perfectly. these are great remotes but i wouldn't be very happy if i payed the $500 they are new i would really recomend that you buy them from crutchfield. other than the few problems i stated i was very pleased with my purchase.

Logitech Harmony 1000

Written By Kelly, Upstate New York on Friday, December 26, 2008
 
Purchased this for our main living room. Wow what a great device! We replaced our previous logitech (placed now in our bedroom) and it functions perfectly! The online set-up is very easy (for computer fanatics like myself) and would be a little more difficult for those not so computer savy. I did not have any problems, so I'm not sure of Logitech's customer service or what to expect if you called them. Best: controls all of our devices: Samsung 52" LCD 1080P, Panasonic Blu-ray player, WII gaming system, Onkyo Receiver, Time warner cable box, Sony 400 CD changer/player and also our fireplace controls and A/C controls for the summer. Worst: Gotta remember at least once a week to place it on the charger station or it will go dead!. The touch screen does get filthy with finger prints often (so keep a cloth handy). Other than that this device is incredible and well worth the money paid. THANK YOU CRUTCHFIELD! Recommend! A+++

Not Satisfied at all

Written By Michael, Cooter, Mo. on Monday, November 24, 2008
 
I received the remote and spent 3 days trying to program over the internet. I never did get it done. I have two other Harmony remotes and have no problems with them. I had to return the product and my replacement has been lost in the mail. The touch screen would not function at all.
