You just need to give it clear view of your
devices, and avoid manually walking over to a device, and powering it up.
The HELP button fixes this in about 5 seconds as well.
All I know is, the 880 is the first remote I've
owned that not only replaced EVERY OTHER remote I have (12 of them), but is also
easy enough for the wife to use.

Subject: Re: [slim] Re: Discrete on/off
codes for Harmony 880
I like my Harmony 880 remote, but I disagree that it in any way solves
problems with devices which don't have discrete on/off codes. It keeps
track, but in my experience, often ends up "out-of-sync" with the devices
which don't have discrete codes.

That's what makes the Harmony remotes special - it tracks the
state of
each component and switches them on and off as needed, whether
or not
you have discreet codes. So if I go from Watch TV to Watch DVD it
knows
to switch the cable box off and the DVD player on, and flip the
inputs
on the video switcher and amp. I don't have discreet codes for
any of
those actions, but it knows what to do - and that's without
me
programming any macros.
If you DO have discreet codes things
can work a little more smoothly
(if a device gets it's state out of sync
with what the remote thinks it
is then you can get in a mess) but in 99%
of cases it works
fine
without.
