Pros: Fully backlit, Good battery life, Support for a multitude of devices & this is a lower end Harmony!!!, Nearly unlimited commands & places to put them, Lcd & buttons next to it offer easy access to standard & advanced commands.



Cons: Number pad is too small & awkwardly located, Volume & Channel buttons (same reasons), Set-up can be involved, not friendly for the technically challenged (involves set-up using a computer software interface & lots of tweaking).



Other Thoughts: My Vizio 47XVT had a terrible, unlit remote & I never placed stock in "do-it-all" multimedia remotes.

I never knew what I was missing. This remote does it all. I currently have it controlling my Vizio, Xbox 360 Elite, Samsung BD-P1600, Sony DVP-NS710H, & Sony STR-DH800 A/V receiver. The Activities feature is very nice, one button turns on devices to be used, does input selection, & turns off devices not in use. Between the 4 devices I am using there were only 1 or 2 commands that I had to "teach" it from the OEM remotes.

I consider myself to be technically inclined, but set-up can be very involved. For example, I had trouble gettin my hdtv to go to the proper input. The end result was adding end Activity commands to switch them (this was prior to adding the A/V receiver). The receiver handles all of the hdmi switching now.

Overall, setup took me a couple of hours. That involved tweaking power delays, start-up sequences/delays, & some end activity tweaking for each of my 4 Activities. This remote is not for anyone who simply wants to enter a device code & call it soup. It is for a true control freak!!

This remote worked as promised but compared to the later models it falls short of expectations. I also have the Harmony one and it is head and shoulders better than the 550. If you absolutly need a remote and cannot pay extra for a newer model than this will suffice.

Brand new-like condition - unbeatable price compared to retail - if you have never used a Logitech Harmony remote, you must read the directions first before attempting to configure (trust me on this). All-in-all, it is very user friendly and easy to setup - controls all my many different brands of remotes. The Activities task option allows simultaneous multi-control of devices and settings at the push of a button. It works great and really does simplify common home entertainment tasks. Turn on all devices needed with one button. Turn them all off with another. More complicated tasks are possible if you wish to spend the time setting them up. There are so many other useful features that it only makes this an even better product. Highly recommended to the skeptics (like myself) who thought the concept of one remote would always be just a marketing dream scheme to get your hard-earned money (I own many universal and programmable remotes that did not do what they promised).

The only negative comment I can make (and it is small) is that the buttons on the Harmony, get automatically assigned when a specific remote profile is loaded and are not described anywhere I have found. This means you must "explore" all the pre-defined button assignments and discover what they do. Once you have used it for awhile you can then decide if a custom assignment is needed. So far, I have not had to do this. Learning what did what, though, was a chore that could be avoided if more detailed information was available.

The 550 is a little overwhealming to begin with,but when you catch on every thing falls in place.Works great.

 "great remote just wished number keys were a little bigger!" 2009-09-11
By Steven J. Schultz (pa)
I bought this remote refurbished and you could not beat the price. I have to say that even the most complicated audio video setup can be turned on and off using this remote! To watch directv on my setup all you have to do is hit the watch tv button and everything comes on all set to the correct input! It works the same way to watch dvd or whatever other activity you program it to do! The only minor complaint I would offer is that the number keys are really small and it is hard to change the channel while I am watching directv! Other then that one small issue I can honestly say anyone and I mean anyone could use this remote!! It has a help button and if something doesn't turn on properly this corrects the issue! It is easy to setup on the computer and once you have it setup you will never go back to a standard remote again! Great remote!!
