Recharging Station
The Harmony 880 includes a sleek docking station that keeps
the remote fully charged. The horizontal docking station allows
the remote to be used while it is charging. A docking station
also helps family members know where to put, and find, the
remote. The lithium-ion battery provides up to a one-week
charge under normal use. Also, the Harmony 880 remote has
motion sensors built in – when stationary, the color LCD monitor
brightness is reduced to conserve power. When the remote is
picked up, the screen brightens automatically.
Simplified HDTV/Aspect Ratio Control (NEED INPUT ON HOW WE OPTIMIZE)
Optimized for complicated HDTV systems, the Harmony 880 remote makes switching the
television between video aspect ratios simple. While setting up a one-button activity that
involves a HDTV, a command that automatically changes the aspect ratio can be part of the
sequence of commands the Harmony remote sends out for that activity. Also, custom buttons
can be created for the LCD that allow people to toggle from the 4:3 ratio for standard television
to 16:9 ratio for movies and HDTV.
Enhanced DVR Control
The Harmony 880 remote’s central key layout is optimized for use with DVR systems, such as
TiVo. A circular directional control makes it easy to manually navigate through PVR menu
screens. Also, the keypad features a cluster of controls that represent
Skip Ahead
,
Replay,
Rewind, Fast Forward, Play, Pause, Stop
, and Record – all of which are important functions in
effectively commanding a PVR device.
Stylish, Comfortable Design
Designed with brushed chrome and charcoal accents, a color LCD display and a low-profile
recharging station, the Harmony® 880 Remote matches even the most sophisticated
entertainment room’s décor. Featuring a comfort grip shape and a centered directional pad, it
fits easily in the hand and naturally guides people to the most frequently used controls. The
remote is fully backlit so it’s easy to navigate in the dark. When their eyes are glued to the
television, people can find useful buttons effortlessly, by touch. The primary navigation controls –
such as the directional pad,
Play, Pause, Record,
and the number buttons – are easily identified
by feel due to their varied size, shape, and location.
