Logitech Announces Harmony IR Extender System

Logitech just made remote control a lot easier. What's easier than sitting on your couch and pointing at your device in need, you ask? Well, the Logitech Harmony IR Extender System allows you to point at devices that aren't all that easy to get to.

See, the system is designed to control those devices that may be hidden inside cabinets or other areas that aren't out in the open. Even better, the company says that the system should work with most infrared remotes, so no upgrade is necessary. It also doesn't require any programming, so you should be up, running and hiding A/V equipment in no time.

The set up is just a few steps. First place the IR receiver in a visible spot. Then connect it to the IR blasters and mini blasters. Place those blasters near the equipment that you want to control and you'll be good to go.

The system comes with the IR receiver, one main blaster and a pair of the mini blasters. Each of the blasters can control multiple devices, so it should be enough to get systems of all sizes started.

The Logitech Harmony IR Extender System sounds like a nice gift option for that person on your list that can't quite appreciate seeing their own reflection in that shiny black or silver Blu-ray player or other component. Expect the system to be available in November for $59.99.
