 At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Logitech will introduce the Logitech Harmony 1100 advanced universal remote control, delivering home-entertainment control through a customizable, 3.5-inch full-colour touch screen display.
With a single touch, the palm-sized Harmony 1100 remote has been designed to put the power to control your home-entertainment in your hands. With its fully redesigned software, the 3.5-inch touch-sensitive screen – which features QVGA resolution – provides a base from which to control your system.
Using the new Harmony software, you can select the commands you use most and put those features on the screen. If you love to watch movies, for example, and are always using the Play and Pause buttons, you can tell the Harmony 1100 to make those commands immediately available on the screen once you start your movie.
In addition to the customizable touch screen, the Harmony 1100 offers simple details that also make it easy to use, such as tactile guides, which are located around the touch screen and help position your fingers so that you choose the right command.
The brushed-black aluminum top case and soft-touch bottom case should make it comfortable to hold – as well as a stylish complement to your living room. And the Harmony 1100 is rechargeable, so you never have to replace the batteries.
To help you beautify your home, the Harmony 1100 is equipped with RF capability. A Harmony RF Extender (sold separately) combined with the Harmony 1100 remote lets you control devices that are behind the closed doors of your entertainment cabinet or even in another room (from up to 100 feet).
One Touch to Your Entertainment
The remote will turn on the TV, the DVD player, the A/V receiver and any other necessary devices. There’s no need to control components individually – the Harmony 1100 remote manages everything.
Guided Online Setup
Logitech’s Internet-based setup is in place to get the Harmony 1100 up and running as quickly as possible. The Harmony 1100 online interface allows you to enter your components’ make and model numbers and then this information is automatically matched to the characteristics, discrete codes and infrared commands of the more than 225,000 devices from more than 5,000 manufacturers contained in Logitech’s online database.
Any devices that aren’t in the database can be quickly added. When you want to add a device to your living room, you can be confident that the Harmony 1100 remote will work with the devices you own today, and the ones you’ll buy in the future.
Pricing and Availability
The Harmony 1100 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in February for a suggested retail price of $499.99 (U.S.) - about £340.
