Newest Harmony Remote Propels Remote Controls to a New Level of Simplicity
The SST-659 offers simplified activity based control with direct access activity buttons and fully backlit buttons and display.
EH Expo 2003, Long Beach, CA. Nov. 11, 2003 – Intrigue Technologies Inc., a leader in intelligent remote control technology, expands its award-winning line-up of Harmony Remote control products with the ground-breaking computer programmed Harmony SST-659.
“Today’s remote control technologies seem to be drifting away from what every family really wants,” said Bryan McLeod, CEO of Intrigue. “Touch screens and complex programming environments may have their place but the true goal of remote control design is to remove the barrier that exists between the average family and their entertainment, Smart State Technology ‘SST’ makes this possible,” he added.
The Harmony SST-659 boasts a fully backlit keypad, interactive display, dedicated navigation controls with a super simple button layout that is well suited for the expert and amateur alike. Access the powerful technology behind the SST-659 by connecting to the website, walking through a simple set-up wizard, and then downloading the configuration into the remote through the supplied USB cable.
The SST 659 is custom configured by their owners on a personal home page at HarmonyRemote.com accessible by both PCs and MACs. This simplified and revolutionary approach eliminates the need to perform complicated programming required of other universal remotes and inputting ‘Macros’, those extremely complex and tricky multiple command instruction sets. Updating the remote for new or rearranged components is just as easy. Log on to your home page and make the necessary changes.
With Harmony’s patent-pending Smart State Technology, a user simply answers a series of online prompts about his or her A/V system. Harmony then configures the remote by downloading all instructions for each user’s unique mix of components, as well as personalized TV listings. Users operate the SST 659 by selecting one of the designated activity buttons, such as "Watch TV", "Watch a Movie," or “Listen to Music”. The remote then sends all the commands needed to perfectly set-up the user’s entertainment components for that specific activity.
The SST 659 not only controls every conceivable A/V component it also controls game box devices, MP3 music servers, curtains, lights, and much more.
