Description:

Harmony Remote's SST-768 universal remote control uses Smart State Technology, pioneered by Intrigue Technologies, to control your home theater devices through commands focused on activities rather than on the devices themselves. Just scroll through the Harmony's screen and click with the convenient thumb wheel to choose an activity such as "watch television" or "watch a DVD," then let the SST-768 figure out how to configure your entertainment system for your desired activity--you don't have to first program the device with complicated macros. By selecting the activity, the appropriate commands are automatically sent to the entertainment devices, resulting in simple, intuitive control of even the most elaborate entertainment system.

The SST-768's activities are completely Web-configured through Web Wizard questions on member pages created at HarmonyRemote.com. The Smart State database of electronic devices makes set-up a snap. Even if a brand-new device is not already in the database, your remote will learn any command and add any IR-capable device to the database.

Your online system configuration is transferred directly from your personal account to the remote via USB connection (a Windows PC with a USB connection is required for use). The configuration is always safely stored on your Web page so you can make changes any time you want, right through your Web browser.

And, with the SST-768 you'll never have to utter complaints like "I can see a picture, but I can't hear the sound." Simply press the Help button and the Harmony remote poses a few simple questions on its screen, such as: "Is the television on?" or "Is the stereo set to the DVD input?" Just click yes or no to each question and the remote will automatically send the correct commands to get your entertainment system back in sync.

Each button is tailored to a specific activity, but is also customizable. "Seldom used" functions are always available through the backlit LCD.
