Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Harmony 700

I received the 700 yesterday and got it set up today. It's pretty much is doing the same as the 659 except I did put in favorite channels on this one. It does seem the 700 runs a bit smoother, most likely it's the way it feels in the hand. Although there is no charging cradle it's nice it is a rechargeable model. It only took three hours to get a full charge.

Really pleased so far. I should look a bit farther into it to see what else can be done with it.


One other nice thing is the backlite is motion controlled. All it takes is to pick it up and the thing lights up, nice!

The motion wake up is a cool feature, the 5XX series has it and it was the only thing I liked about my 510.

The One went to full charge in about 20 min, love those Lithium Ion batteries

Wow, that was a fast charge.

I was actually surprised it was that fast. It came with enough of a charge for me to get it set up and play a little before it warned me the battery was low. I set it in the charger came back 20 min. later and voila! Full charge.

I am liking this remote more and more as I use it, the new design fits great in your hand.

I set up a 'soft' button on the touch screen that is the search function for paging up and down in the music server. I always had a hard time getting this function to work with the real 3808 remote. I can now flip through the music files very easily

I haven't really dug into the remote to see what all I can do with it. Give me a few days to get used to it then we'll get to see what can be done.

I tell ya this; it sure does seem like a nice upgrade from the 659, that's for sure.

Glad you like yours as much as I like mine. I even have the remote sending an aspect signal when it switches from watching TV (H-Just aspect) to DVD (full aspect). I still need to play around some more but I will be waiting till we move into the new house and I have the full system set up. As I mentioned earlier the charging cradle was worth the extra cost

I suppose so but I can't complain for $75.

We get so screwed up here , the 700 is ~$150 and I picked up the One for $199 on special for Boxing day sales, obvious choice for $50 difference. I think I would have gone with the 700 if I could get it for the ~$100 it should be up here.
