Logitech's Harmony 890 remote control uses both radio frequency (RF) and infrared (lR) wireless signals to deliver powerful complete control of your home-entertainment system that may be hidden behind cabinets. With a wireless range of up to 100 feet, the Harmony 890 remote sends RF commands to a wireless receiver, which then blasts infrared signals to the components. The Harmony 890 remote makes universal control for home entertainment and advanced lighting systems simple.

How does it work? Just connect your Harmony remote to your computer and the Web wizard walks you step-by-step through a simple set up. Enter in your model numbers for your components, then answer a few easy questions about how you ?Watch TV? or ?Watch a DVD.? You´ll be controlling even the most complex system without any of the hassles of elaborate programming. Easily view and select. Color display icons and 8 on-screen activity buttons make it easy Effortlessly switch between watching HDTV and listening to music, by selecting a single activity button - Just press one of the Activity buttons, such as ?Watch TV? or ?Listen to Music,? and it automatically sets

Buyer's feedback: 1 out of 5 stars - * Beware, this unit is non-repairable ...
Beware of spending too much on this unit. If you do, buy a long term warranty or plan to replace after a year or two.

I've had it about 16 months and it quit working. Out of warranty, Logitech refuses to repair it. They did offer a 50% discount off their retail price, which resulted with just a few dollars less than a normally discounted price. This of course forces you to purchase the new unit, charging base, and extender even though only the remote was unusable.

When I did have it, it worked ok, but seemed to have trouble charging correctly. It would go in and out of charge on the charging base, beeping each time it did. It was something I just put up with.

Anyway, I used it for a little less than a year until I changed my audio/video hardware. When I finally did decide to add the new hardware to the remote, the unit just did no longer work, and Logitech will not repair the item, forcing the purchase a new one as a solution.


Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - I love this remote
I have had this for 2 years. it is a godsend. I have different things hooked up and I just touch one button and whatever i want it to do, it does. If i want to watch the dvr, i press that and it turns all the appropriate things on. Then if i want to listen to xm, it turns off the stuff it doesn't need and sets everything up for xm. It was extremely easy to program and didn't take very long at all. Once i programmed it, i have never had to go back and redo anything.

It is also great that when I have company they can easily operate everything and I don't have to explain anything. Babysitters and pet sitters appreciate that rather than having to learn what to turn on, what station to set it to, or whatever.

Tami


Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - * One last thing that other reviewers don't mention much... ...
There's one thing that I'd like to mention that I think merits praise for Logitech, and that's their customer support.

I'd purchased a Harmony 890 just about a year ago from Best Buy. A few months ago, the screen began "washing out." It would glow, but not display anything. It appeared to be power-related: if the remote was charged too long, or not long enough, it would happen.

But after a while, it was happening all the time, so I called Logitech customer support. After trying various fixes, they mailed me a new remote.

As in, they mailed me a whole new remote package. They disabled the old remote from being updated (but not from being used!), and sent me a whole new 890 package, complete with new RF tranceiver, IR emitters, remote, charging station, the works. No hassles, and my system is back to working like a dream.

I'd like to mention that in previous experiences with Logitech customer service, they've been universally courteous, helpful, KNOWLEDGEABLE (!!!), and dedicated to resolving issues. I haven't had a negative experience with them yet (knock on wood), and the experiences I have had have been impressive.

It's not hyperbole to say I've had the single best customer service experience with this company.


Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - RF is the only way to remote
I have owned several Harmony Remotes. The on-line programming is easy, buttons and menues are well laid out and the battery life is good. But aiming the remote at the many devices I use that are kept in a large glass doored entertainment cabinet often required several attempts or use of the help feature (great feature by the way).

When I built a dedicated Home Theatre with a separate equipment closet, I needed an RF unit. I wanted the ease of Harmony programming and both IR and RF. The 890 has been perfect for my complicated application. I have 5 source devices in the equip closet and 2 displays in the room and the Harmony controls all of them with the push of one activity button. The flexibility in programming the individual device functions is easy enough for virtually anyone to do.

Great product!


Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - * Nice remote ...
PROS:
- Nice 8 buttons for the LCD screen so there's less flipping to the next page
- No bugs unlike the Logitech Harmony 620 and 670.
- Nice how when I pick it up, it senses the motion and the screen lights up.
- Seems durable in case the kids drop it on the tile floor.
- The IR extender works great.
- Wife and kids love it.
- Terrific Tech support with almost no wait time.
- I like the Harmony 890's button layout much better than the Harmony 620.

CONS:
- The base charger did not make contact with the remote so I exchanged it for another unit and now it makes contact with the remote on the first try.
- Seems I have to charge it every 3-4 days.
- Can't import my photos to represent the icons
- Expensive
- Can only control RF, IR, and Z-wave devices which means it can't control Sony Playstation which uses bluetooth.

WISH LIST:
- Too bad the charger doesn't have a button to press to find/locate the remote like my cordless phone at home to help me find it after other members of my family uses it.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700

Intel's Core 2 Duo E6700 offers the best price-to-performance ratio we've seen in a desktop chip. For half the cost of AMD's top-of-the-line chip, you get identical if not superior performance and better power efficiency. AMD surprised us last year with its completely dominant dual-core chips, but Intel regains the crown with Core 2 Duo.

Complete Guide to Single Malt Scotch

by Michael Jackson
$19.77

Average customer rating: 4.5 ISBN: 0762413131
He's written shamelessly for more than a decade and a half about his passion for 12- and 15-year-olds. He's described his dalliances with loves named Heather and Peat and some three dozen named Glen. His name is Michael Jackson. Relax. We're talking here about the Britain-based, award-winning drinks and spirits writer and author of, among other classic reference works, Michael Jackson's Beer Companion.

In Michael Jackson's Complete Guide to Single Malt Scotch, devotees of the dram can peruse the latest revised edition of the 1989 work. In 336 pages brimming with maps, photos, and informed overview of factors such as geography and flavor components--even proximity to the sea--Jackson sketches the evolution of Scotch whisky, from the prebottling days, when shopkeepers like Johnnie Walker and the Chivas Brothers would create their own blends for sale, to the late-1960s and 1970s' surge of individual distilleries marketing their own bottlings. Lamentably labeling the former as a time when "orchestrations drowned out the soloists," Jackson provides some sweet sheet music of his own: 294 pages are devoted to an A-to-Z review (including full-color labels and tasting notes) of more than 800 singles from "every Scottish malt distillery that has ever witnessed its product in a bottle." It's the perfect book to take to your local liquor store next time you're trying to navigate the high shelf of Scotland's highlands, lowlands, and islands. You may laugh at Jackson's description of Auchentoshan Select's "oily" nose with "hints of citrus zest" or Aberlour 10-year-old's "mint-toffee" bouquet. But you'll be laughing out of the other side of your haggis when you actually smell them. All the notes are well researched and designed to appeal to Cardhu-carrying connoisseurs, as well as those who'd just like to know more about Bowmore. In his introduction, the author describes a whisky's finish as "a crescendo, followed by a series of echoes. When I leave the bottle, I like to be whistling the tune." Scotch drinkers will find plenty to wet that whistle in Michael Jackson's Complete Guide to Single Malt Scotch. --Tony Mason

Radica Play TV Football



"Madden" has come to be known as the synonym of choice for videogame fans when they want to talk about football. But while the console versions of the game, named after legendary coach and even more legendary television announcer John Madden, may offer state of the art graphics and features, they require very little effort from any part of your body other than your fingers. This interactive game makes you work a little harder on the physical side in order to win the game. It hooks up directly to your television and comes with a weight sensitive mat which you use to select plays and navigate players as well as an electronic wireless football used to simulate throws downfield. Multiple settings let you play in training camp mode to hone skills, go up against a friend, or battle the computer. It may lack the detail and complexity of the console Madden games but it gives you more exercise so you’ll look more like a football player and less like Madden himself. --Charlie Williams
Delphi MyFi XM2GO Portable XM Satellite Radio Receiver with Home / Car Kits



The biggest boost yet for satellite radio has to be Delphi's radiant MyFi XM2GO portable satellite radio receiver and digital music player. The MyFi can record and play back up to 5 hours of XM's digital programming whenever and wherever you choose. It requires a subscription to XM satellite radio ($12.95/month), but just


Compact and easy, to use the MyFi offers 150 XM satellite channels.
about everything else you could want for home, outdoor, or car listening comes in the box. XM's 150 channels include 67 commercial-free music channels as well as premier news, sports, talk, traffic, and weather listings.

The MyFi comes with a densely packed carton of accessories, including everything from headphones and antennas to a remote control, belt clips, and separate docking apparatus for integrating the receiver with your home and car stereos.



Smaller than a PDA, the receiver exudes greatness even before you hear it: it's just heavy enough to seem solidly built yet light enough to merit the term "portable." The receiver even comes with world-class manuals, from its tips sheet to the longer quick-start guide to the 42-page user's manual (separate English and Spanish editions of each are provided).

An illuminated six-line LCD is your gateway to browsing XM's programming. You can browse by station, by category, or (our favorite) by currently playing artist. Thirty channel presets simplify access to your favorites, and a handy memo button stores artist and song data for up to 20 performances you'd like to look into later (or find again on XM).

Any satellite radio system requires a fairly heavy-duty antenna. Accordingly, the MyFi comes with four: one for the home (place it in a south-facing window), one for the car (mount it on the roof or trunk), a clip-on antenna for when you're hoofing it, and a built-in antenna. Our home reception was perfect--we never experienced a single drop out. Car reception was spottier, though still excellent. You just have to get used to the fact that where analog radio gets noisier in areas with poor reception, satellite radio drops out altogether; it's either all there, crystal clear, or all absent. And that's where My XM, MyFi's recording feature, comes in handy.



The MyFi mounts easily in most vehicles.

My XM lets you record XM programming to MyFi's onboard memory--perfect for time shifting your listening (as with a news program or a scheduled performance on XM Live) or for tuning in when you'll be someplace lacking XM reception (in a canyon, on a subway, in a windowless cubicle, etc.). You can schedule a recording or start and stop recording at any time you wish, and new recordings pick up where you last stopped. But you can't erase anything unless you clear the memory--which means you can't whittle away songs you don't like to retain your favorites. It's also important to remember that when you've filled the unit's memory (128 MB, or 5+ hours of full bitrate XM radio), it'll record over earlier material, starting from the top. During playback, however, My XM lets you skip easily from track to track and even pick from a list of all tracks.

You can configure the MyFi's LCD to scroll stock and sports-score tickers, a great way to keep an eye on important stats. The receiver also features a built-in sleep timer (15 minutes to 1 hour) and an alarm clock (wake to a beep or to XM programming).

What's in the Box

For car use, you have a choice of mounting options for the vehicle cradle: flush mount, vent mount, or swivel mount. The cradle houses a power jack for a DC vehicle power adapter (included), an antenna input, and an audio output for use with the provided cassette-shell audio adapter. You can use the cassette adapter or the MyFi's built-in wireless FM transmitter, which turns any FM radio into an XM radio. (Audio quality is better using the supplied cassette audio adapter, however. You may also purchase a wired FM adapter, though XM asserts that the cassette adapter sounds better than that, too.)



The Delphi XM MyFi comes complete with all of the accessories needed to enjoy XM anywhere.

Positioning the car antenna can be inelegant, despite its heavy-duty magnet. You can have it professionally installed or live with an exposed antenna cord, though XM recommends using "existing holes, body grommets, and other wiring channels" rather than closing a door over the cord on a daily basis. The receiver's battery pack proved good for about five hours between charges. The included earbud headphones are neither comfortable nor particularly well made; a nicer set would represent XM's strong sound quality. --Michael Mikesell

Pros:

  • Truly portable satellite-radio receiver
  • Simple setup
  • Includes a wealth of accessories
  • Excellent sound quality
  • Great reception indoors and out
  • Convenient five-hour recording mode
  • Lets you skip from song to song while playing recordings

Cons:

  • No hold switch
  • Can't save or delete specific recorded tracks
  • No elapsed-time or time-remaining displays for live or recorded programming

MyFi receiver with a clip-on antenna, an integrated rechargeable battery, a complete home accessory kit (with antenna and audio cable), a complete vehicle accessory kit (with antenna), stereo earbud headphones, a remote control, a remote battery, a belt clip/stand, a protective carrying case, and quick-start guides and user's manuals in English and Spanish.

Baseball's Greatest Hits
$10.99



It would be impossible to capture all the things that make the game great--the drama, the humor, the roar of the crowd--on one album, but the folks behind this sprawling collection come pretty darn close to hitting for the cycle. Old-time faves like Les Brown's "Joltin' Joe DiMaggio" segue into modern tributes such as Bill Slayback's "Move Over Babe, Here Comes Henry," while such tangential yet groovy chestnuts like the Intruders' soul standard "Love Is Like a Baseball Game" and Rockin' Richie Ray's utterly unhinged "Baseball Card Lover" are guaranteed to make even nonfans cock an ear. Interspersed among the songs are spoken interludes, ranging from classic comedy bits like Abbott & Costello's "Who's on First" to moving memories such as Lou Gehrig's famed farewell speech. Baseball's Greatest Hits is a one-of-a-kind collection. --David Sprague
