Deb: You will miss the hability for pointing and clicking. It will be a bad option.

I think you can check the Logitech database here: logitech.com/harmony/components I have two Harmony remotes and really like them. Best lineup of universal remotes on the market. I have had others, but they always end up omitting functions. The Harmony method of configuring the remotes using the internet is far superior to the numerical codes. I would not buy any universal remote other than Harmony.

You should contact the authorized dealer who sold you the remote. If you bought it from an unauthorized dealer (such as online from Amazon), you should buy a new remote, because URC is not obligated to provide warranty service for unauthorized sales.

Thanks for the info. In case you were able to configure successfully, please do let us knw... Might come in handy, in case the remote falters. I've not had any issues with the remote ever since I started using it... Hope it stays the same... :)

No there is a full feature remote that comes with it. There is a button on the magic motion button that you can press, it brings up a smart tv screen where you point the cursor to the input selection where you can swith inputs quickly.

I believe you should be able to get a universal remote for it, if not the original remote.

I have no problems at all with my remote control. I you should get a replacement from the company

I had same problem. I called Amazon and they sent me another complete set including the remote. I sent back old unit and remote. I have had no problems since.

One magic, no standard. The magic remote is OK once you get used to it. I think you can buy a generic standard remote because my blue ray remote works with the TV too.

Yup. Me too. Just now, after 2 years of HEAVY use. Ah, that's okay. I loved it so much, every little thing, that I bought an identical replacement. I've yet to find a remote so easy to manage and program at a better price.

It is almost as if what remote works with what application is meant to be a closely guarded secret. Frankly you stand as good chance finding one at the second hand stores piled in a box but truthfully in order for you did access all the features of your machine you need the exact remote. I kept going to different sites selling the remotes and discovered a little helpful information here and there, but to my knowledge their exist no cross referrence. Typing in your model number will help some but its a quest satisfied from lots of search. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance, often the cost of returning the errant part negates getting it and trying. I found a universal that worked with my search at 1 10th the cost of a OEM unit, I hope you the same success.

I am not. But one of the GREAT things about Harmony is you can call Tech Support, talk to a live person in North America and they'll tell you if you can. If you can they'll walk you through doing it. I've had Harmony remotes for a long time. I can still talk to someone in support about a 10 year old remote. FANTASTIC company and support

Sorry, I lost mine too! It works well with a number of universal remotes that are available.

Unfortunately, I could not seem to get my remote to work either. I have contacted Fisher Price before (on another product) and they have wonderful customer service and I am sure they will replace the remote for you!

Not for me. I'd contact the manufacturer ASAP. For the record, I really only use the Magic remote to access the TV's smart features or to power on or off when I misplace my cable provider's remote, which I use as a universal because that's how I access my DVR. But I've yet to experience any problem whatsoever with the Magic.
