Simplify your A/V rig

bydfetzer926 May 3, 2006
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Highly capable, big capacity, customizable out the yin-yang, looks pretty good
Cons Could accommodate longer on-screen labels, should plug into a battery charger

I was in the midst of selecting the components for my first major home theater rig. The outfit consists of a Hitachi 42" plasma screen (model 42HDS52, reviewed elsewhere in Epinions.com), a highly featured Denon 3806 A/V receiver, an iPod switched through a DLO remote control docking station, a few...

Recommended it? No

If you buy this and if you don't buy from an "authorized dealer" there is no support for this.  Don't count on getting any help from the manufacturer.  They will tell you it is discontinued and they won't support it any longer and send you to the dealer where you got it. In my case the... Read full review »

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros None worth mentioning
Cons Expensive. Stops working after just minutes of use. Only 3 activities at a time.
Recommended it? No

I purchased this Logitech Harmony 900 as an upgrade from my Harmony 880 when the 880 volume control stopped working after a couple of years of heavy use. Since I had already used the Logitech software to program my 880, it was the same software to program the 900. I would have expected that all of... Read full review »

Mu 890 view screen quit working after only 1 1/2 years.  You can't send these to be repaired,you have to buy a new one.  The 900 replaced the 890, and works nicely if you are in close range.  It has nowhere near the range of the 890 which is a bummer.  To control the system on...
