How does a harmony remote help you set up your stereo? You know, things like reassigning digital inputs to the correct video channel, renaming inputs, or calibrating speaker levels and that sort of thing. Most of the time with universal remotes, I'm lucky if most of the day-to-day functional buttons work off the bat, buch less esoteric setup menu choices. And then I've still got to use the cryptic LCD readouts on the stereo. I've got a STR-DA4ES and it was a real bear to get everything just so. If I could have done it all on a slick gui it would definatle have made things easier. Not sure whether I'd like to pay a ton mere for it, but I'm just sayin'.
