Harmony 900 (what to buy)

Hi All,

 

I am interested in purchasing a Harmony 900 for my entertainment center.

 

I have three cabinets spanning 10 feet across with about 2-3 devices in each cabinet.

 

My question is:

What do I need to purchase to support this configuration?

 

Thanks,

Dave

Re: Harmony 900 (what to buy)

Depending on if the cabnits are closed and how close together they are you will need at least another Blaster system and you may need some precision IR cables for the one blaster. You would have a blaster in 2 of the outside cabinetsand use the mini blasters in thoes, depending how close the middle cabinet is to one of thoes you may be able to strech one of the mini basters into the middle one....

Re: Harmony 900 (what to buy)

I have my components in two cabinets on a south wall and my tv is on a west wall. I have my blaster on a shelf on the (east) wall opposite my cabinets. The cabinets have doors with glass and wire mesh on them. I have no problem controlling any of the components or the tv. The blaster is about 15 feet from the cabinets and is on a 90 degree angle from the tv.

If you don't have solid doors on your cabinets and have somewhere to mount the blaster in line of sight, why not give that a try?

Just to note: the 900 comes with the blaster and two mini blasters.

Re: Harmony 900 (what to buy)

Thanks Alex,

 

Here is how the components and cabinents are laid out

 

Here are the dimensions of my cabinets:

 

<--- A - 36 " ---->  <------ B - 44" ------> <--- C - 36" ---->

 

Cabinet A is closed (solid doors)

Direct TV

 

Cabinet B is open

TV

DVD Player

VHS Player

 

Cabinet C is closed (solid doors)

Home Theatre Receiver

 

So they are fairly spread apart.  So does clarify what I should purchase?

 

Thanks so much!

Dave

Re: Harmony 900 (what to buy)

You might be able to get away with just the Harmony 900 kit and an add-on precision IR emitter cable

 

Cabinet 1 gets the blaster

Cabinet 2 gets the Harmony receiver (it too is a blaster)

Cabinet 3 gets the precision cables
