I have an older vcr and the remote was able to learn commands by aiming the old remote to a sensor on the harmony. Programing is a snap as long as you mapped out you inputs. options galore. This is a great remote. The cradle is sleek and fits in modern decor. I love the programable icons for favorites. The interface is easy and intuitive. I have never used another universal, but I will never try another as long as this one is around.
Both use the same software which makes programming very easy. It also has a better arrangement of the fast forward, play and rewind buttons. I already had the Harmony 880 which I would describe as a great universal remote, but I purchased this as part of a promotion with the purchase of a new Panasonic TV. This adds the touch screen, which is easier to use than the small buttons on the 880. I cannot possibly imagine any better universal remote than this one.
We finally bit the bullet and bought the Harmony One.and can't say enough about how happy we are with this remote. The signal is incredibly clear and fast, where as the 800's signal was downright frustrating. We've had the Harmony 800(). The touchscreen is great UI improvement, and the overall feel of the remote is more natural and ergonomic.The only hiccup during installation was with the included software. I had to go to Logitech's Support Site to download the latest software. since it came out, and it's caused us nothing but headaches and more headaches. After that, it was a piece of cake to transfer all the settings from the 800 to the new remote.Note: Buying the One from Amazon made the purchase an even better decisiont due to the great competitive pricing and Prime Shipping.
If you have a nice home theater setup, a remote like this is a must. Worked perfectly right of the bat. It is my first all in one remote so nothing to compare too but I am a very investigative buyer and this product had everything I wanted except the out of site reciever. I was fumbling with 6 remotes. No complaints.
Looks cool and you can even put a picture slide show on the screen. Very easy to set up. This item is great. If you know your model numbers you are good. I have a denon reciever, panasonic projector, cable box, blue ray player and a remote lighting system and this functioned perfectly after a quick setup.
My stuff is in site so it wasn't a deal breaker. If you get the price I got it is a steal.
I'll just keep it short and say save yourself the money and a lot of trouble.Amazon, what happened to my previous review that you nagged me to write.P.S.Harmony's discussion areas are brutal and rude. I had written an extensive review and it is no where to be found, so. Stay away from there too.
