Taming the Complexities of the Digital Life
With home entertainment systems, digital television, game consoles, media centers and
more, it is becoming increasingly challenging to master the new technologies in our
homes. Consumers are eager to fi nd a more intuitive way to allow everyone in the home
to manage their digital content.
We believe that one of our biggest opportunities is in the digital home. The need to use
multiple remotes to manage separate home entertainment devices is a very real pain
point for millions of consumers. We offer an elegant solution to this problem with the
one-touch simplicity of our Harmony remotes.
Remotes was our fastest-growing retail category in FY 08, with sales up 35% compared
with the prior year. We continue to grow the category in North America, and we’re build-
ing momentum in Europe. We’re very pleased with the initial reception to our newest
advanced universal remote, the Harmony One, which we launched late in the fi scal year.
The combination of a strong product portfolio and consistent software improvements that
enhance the overall user experience positions us well for sustained growth in what we
expect to be our fastest-growing category in the new fi scal year.
