QUOTE(jchong @ Sep 23 2009, 03:03 PM) Most equipment actually use IR right? So what is the big advantage of adding in the RF? Does not need to be pointed in the direction, will work thru doors etc. |

QUOTE(terranova @ Sep 23 2009, 03:10 PM) IR generally requires line of sight and close proximity. RF can go further and pass through walls, floors, cabinets etc. for e.g. in-rack components that may be placed in a separate room or behind the seating position, or behind closed door cabinets. One thing to note that the Harmony 900 and 1100 removed.Excerpt from CNET review: Logitech Harmony 900 does not support the programming of customized multi-step macro commands beyond those of the automatic activity-based menu system. This is a major drawback. So hold on to your Ones! |

QUOTE(terranova @ Sep 23 2009, 03:16 PM) Good point. I didnt realise that feature was removed. But actually, i hardly use this feature even though i know it exists. in what situations would you use this feature? care to share, guys? If you want to add sequences that are not part of the fixed macros (Watch TV etc.). Instances where someone would like to add a bunch of functions like turning on lights, pausing movie, preparing room for HT (temperature controls etc). |

QUOTE(ronnt88 @ Sep 23 2009, 03:22 PM) hmm.. guess I need the RF function more than those stated above so the 900 is still a good fit for me. ronnt88,I think in ur case, its pretty clear cut that u need the RF. They question is do you go for the 900 or the 1100? |
