Lol Doug's got it right, The 880 sits in a cradle recharger, no more pesky batteries weakening the signal, and now I can find the remote because the wife actually puts it back in the cradle


A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

I think Alan was being funny. Given that fact that the Harmony 880 "technically does run on batteries". Just a rechargable one instead of disposable.

It is a funny thought though to think of an 880 with a good ole' fashioned crank on the side!

The crank or wind-up remote is not a bad idea. You only use it for a few seconds at a time.

Somebody jump on this idea and invent one!

Is the 880 backlit? My old eyes are bad enough that I don't want to have a light on just to read the remote...
where's the MX-700 fans???

Thanks

Led screen, and the 880 lights up when moved. Now I don't have to wear my glasses to find the light button.

Kcarlile,

I've always liked those crank flashlights since I was a kid. Some years ago I reviewed an emergency wind-up radio that would play for about 20 minutes after you turned the crank 50 times. I don't recall the brand. I've still got it. I think a later model added a solar panel on top.

Hey, a remote with a small solar recharger panel--I'll go to the drawing board.

Regards,

I've got one of those little crank-dynamo powered radios with a solar panel on top. Neat little thing.
