Set-up was a breeze. It does take some time to key in all your components, but once you're done, it's easy as can be. Doesn't take a tech genius to do this. Would have gone for the 890, but cost is so much more for IR feature and backlight. Remote is comfortable, and rechargeable batteries are a definite plus. Logitech has every one of my devices, even for my A/V switch which caused me some concerns, but Logitech had it. Much better than I hoped. Wife loved the simplicity of the remote. One-button push much easier to turn on devices. I currently have 9 programs for this remote. Absolutely love this remote. Can't live without it now.
