Hi all,
Interested in getting some perspective on the Harmony One fom users. I am a recent convert to the Denon 3808 AVR but don't really have a HT set up as yet. I have a PVR, DVD Player and Sat Tv connected to it but no lights, screens etc etc (Just ordered my M80's - be here in 2 weeks!!!). I have read that these types of remotes are not great with complicated AVR's so had moved away fom the idea of getting one. I am very interested to hear from you guys with regard to this.
They cost about $320 Australian which I think equates to about $300US. Seems like I might be able to get one cheaper straight from the US but don't know if there is any reason that it would not work over here. Thoughts??
Thanks for any advice.
P.S. I can't wait to get my M80's!
Gringo,
The Harmony units are pretty nice. If you are looking for an alternative, take a look at URCs MX series. I have an MX-850 and the successor unit, the MX-900. They are programmable on your PC and there are a HUGE number of files/commands available for use on Remote Central (you might want to head over there and take a look at the review for the Harmonys and the MX series).
There is a file a gentleman put together and uploaded to Remote Central with EVERY receiver command available for Denon receivers. Plus, with the MX-900 software, the database has an enormous number of commands for the 3808. For the 3808, I have separate devices set up for 1) HT functions, 2) AM/FM tuner, 3)Internet radio and speaker commands (+ / - for each of the speakers in my 5.1 setup - great for calibrating).
