Review on Enhance Your Entertainment Experience with the Logitech Harmony 665 Advanced Remote Control by Shigg Bigbee

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good idea, but that's where it ends.

The idea of the remote control for multiple devices was great, especially with the promise of launching different actions with a single button. But. where everything ends. I don't even know where to start my babble. In any case, if your audio device (in my case it is a soundbar) is connected to the TV via an optical input, leave it immediately and look for another product. This unit (and the Logitech desktop software I had to use to set up this remote) doesn't seem to know what an optical input is. I mean, it's not mentioned anywhere - not in the remote, not in the app/software, not even on the Logitech help/support site or documentation. So here's what. You'll have to choose a different connection, be it via an AUX-in (hello modern times) or via Bluetooth, which itself introduces a whole host of other issues depending on your other devices - e.g. B. turning on an audio device. turns off after a specified period of inactivity, causing Bluetooth to be disabled, or your TV requires permission each time a Bluetooth device tries to connect. I mean, these issues are no longer related to the Harmony remote, but why can't the optical connection be enabled as an option when setting up the remote? This would fulfill the promise of a single remote that controls everything! And over! My pet is annoyed by the remote control: so you can set up "actions" that supposedly contain everything needed for that action. big! Perfect! You will then notice that the last action you configured is listed at the top. Guess what? People tend to set up the activity they do most first. As. mmm TV? Yes of course if you do that most often then of course set it up first. You then add additional actions and later find that your Watch TV action is already hidden in the list, so you have to press the buttons multiple times before you can select it! This is the one button to turn everything on concept for you! This requires that you first think of the most mundane task you can think of and put it first, before finally deciding to put the activity you do most often last. That experience is that I bought this from Revain and the return is so painless. This thing comes out my door first thing on Monday morning!
