Get ready to hide the stereo, the DVD player, game station, and even your cable box. Maintain a sleek, neat look—and stop contorting to get your remote to line up just right—with the one-touch remote that sees through cabinet doors and works from up to 100 feet away.


Total Command
One trigger finger is all you need
  • No Line of Sight Needed: You can put your components in the cabinet or even the next room.
  • 100-Foot Range: Go ahead and build the big media room.
  • One-Touch Control: Choose the activity you want to do, not the component you want to turn on.
  • Up to 15 Components: Control video, audio, gaming — even lights and appliances.
  • Learning Port: Add favorite functions from an old remote just by pointing it at your Harmony.


Comfort and Convenience
Never get numb-thumb again
  • Charging Station: Put your remote in its own home and forget about changing batteries.
  • Comfort-Grip Shape: Hold on comfortably and reach all the buttons with ease.
  • Fully Backlit Controls and LCD Display: Navigate even in movie-theater darkness.
  • Help Button: Confused? Let the Help Button figure it out for you. (No one else has one.)

Simple Setup
It doesn't get easier than this

  • Online Wizard: Plug into a USB port and walk right through initial setup or adding equipment.
  • Incredible Compatibility: From laser disc to Blu-Ray® disc, find your components in Logitech's 175,000-device database.

"I've got a media room where all of my A/V equipment is out of sight in a closet. I first purchased the 880 model and quickly realized the only way to go was RF.
