Enhance Your Entertainment Experience with the Logitech Harmony 665 Advanced Remote Control Review

After buying and returning two others I finally got one that not only worked well but far exceeded my expectations. This remote control is very flexible and can be customized according to your needs. For example, if you only want the TV to turn on for a specific activity, you can easily set that up. If you want your cable box, TV, and receiver to turn on together for another activity, you can easily set that up too. You can also easily create titles for your promotions. For example, in the…

In descending order of importance: 1. The software will never recognize the remote control, so I couldn't program it. Of course I could "learn” all the functions manually, but I didn’t buy this remote control for that. The software requires registration. Why do I need an account just to program the remote? Even if you save the configurations, they can easily be saved locally as a small kb file. Well if you want to keep your configuration online of course. But why is it necessary?3. I couldn't…

A little background - I own an old Logitech 650 remote and have upgraded to the current Logitech 665 over the last few years a fairly complex two room home theater system including Pioneer SC-07 and VSX-59TXi Elite receivers, Marantz HD-DAC1 headphone amplifiers, Pioneer, Samsung and Panasonic plasma TVs, Oppo Blu-ray players, Pioneer Elite CLD-99 LaserDisc players, DirecTV and even a Roku Flash Drive. Logitech's library of electronics available for their line of remote controls couldn't be…

New things I've discovered - if you're like me you've got multiple devices hooked up to your AV receiver so the AVR is used as a switch to control them. I was trying to create new activities using the AVR, the TV, and the device I want to watch, and I wanted to use the TV to control the volume and tone. I found that whenever the AVR was on, the 665 assumed you wanted to use it to adjust the volume, and there was no way to select the TV to do that. However, there is a pre-programmed action…

This is the best programmable remote control I have ever used. It's easy to set up if you know how to use a computer. No need to enter codes for different devices. All you need to know is the manufacturer and model number of the audio/video device you intend to use. You connect the remote to your computer using the micro USB to USB cable on the front of the remote. The remote programming software is already integrated into the remote control. When you connect it to your computer, the…

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

Good solid remote control. The online setup was easy, but take your time. Gather the model numbers of all devices. In my case I have a Samsung TV, a Yamaha receiver, a cable box and an Nvidia Shield streaming box (2017 version). Finally, I can control the volume while using the shield, with volume up, down, and mute buttons. The My Shield remote uses a touch slider that doesn't always work, is difficult to control, and doesn't have a mute button. The ability to control the shield alone is worth
