Logitech Harmony 688 Universal Remote Control [XP00184]

Having trouble finding that remote control again? If you are fed up of trying to find the correct remote control for the piece of equipment you want to control, then the Logitech Harmony range of universal remote controls is for you.

One of the great features of the Harmony range of remote controls is the one touch control function. For example choose the "Watch a DVD" activity and the Harmony universal remote will power on your TV, DVD, stereo receiver, set all the inputs, and even press "Play".

The Harmony 688 comes with 4 one-touch activity buttons, as well as dedicated PVR control buttons giving convenient access to transport controls (FF, RW, Pause, Play, etc.) that makes using PVR functions second nature.
