New Harmony Replaces Four Remotes, Features Improved Web-based Setup<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

SYDNEY, Aust.,<\/strong> \u2014 6th<\/sup> April, 2010<\/strong> \u2014 Logitech Australia today announced that it is bringing the benefits of the award-winning line of Harmony\u00ae remotes to people who have simpler home-entertainment needs. The new Logitech\u00ae Harmony\u00ae 300 Remote<\/a> is simple to set up, replaces up to four other remotes and gives you better control of what\u2019s attached to your TV with the touch of one button.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost universal remotes have a bad reputation for being hard to program and, as a result, you still use more than one remote to control the devices you own,\u201d said Ashish Arora, vice president and general manager of Logitech\u2019s digital home group. \u201cWith the Harmony 300, we wanted to deliver the Harmony remote promise of one remote to control your entertainment system to everyone. No more excuses \u2014 it\u2019s time to get rid of the stack of remotes on your coffee table and simplify your home entertainment experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Logitech\u2019s research found that more than one-third of the 75 million U.S. and European households who have tried programming a universal remote had been dissatisfied with the process. But the Logitech Harmony 300 Remote is different. With a refreshed Web-based setup designed exclusively for Logitech\u2019s newest remote<\/a>, all you have to do is connect the remote to your computer, go to www.myharmony.com<\/a>, tell us what devices you\u2019re using and we\u2019ll do the rest. In just a few simple steps you can have full control of your home-entertainment system.<\/p>\n

Plus, your Harmony 300 remote will never be out of date. Logitech\u2019s remotes are powered by an online device library that covers more brands than any other remote, including more than 225,000 devices from more than 5,000 brands \u2014 and the list grows every day. Whether you have an aging VCR or a brand new Blu-ray\u2122 player, you can be confident your Harmony remote will control the IR devices you have.<\/p>\n

Once you set up your remote, you can get to your entertainment fast with just one button press. The Watch TV button will turn on your TV and cable box in seconds \u2014 no additional remotes needed. The buttons are placed for easy reach, sculpted so your fingers can naturally find the right commands and grouped by how you\u2019ll use them. For example, the buttons for controlling your DVD player are all grouped together. There\u2019s even a set of programmable buttons that you can use to jump right to your favorite channels or use for custom control.<\/p>\n

The Harmony 300 joins the ever expanding line of Harmony remotes, an award-winning family that includes the Logitech\u00ae Harmony\u00ae 700 Remote \u2014 which controls up to six devices and is rechargeable \u2014 and the flagship Logitech\u00ae Harmony\u00ae One with its stunning touch-screen display.<\/p>\n
