Taking A First Look; Pronto: The Home Theater Control Panel - Philips Pronto User Manual

Pronto:
The Home Theater Control Panel
Pronto is a Home Theater Control Panel that allows maximum flexibility and
customization for even the most sophisticated home entertainment system. It can
control almost any device that understands infrared (IR) remote control signals. Its
intuitive interface makes it a perfect remote control for every user.
Pronto is easy to configure. It contains a huge universal database where IR codes
are stored to control different brands for all kinds of video, audio devices and even
home automation equipment. By default Pronto is set up to control Philips or
Marantz devices. For other brands you simply choose the brands of your devices
when you use Pronto for the first time.
Pronto offers you some extra powerful features:
You can create and edit macros, allowing you to send a series of commands
with one single touch.
You can choose to have Pronto working with radio frequency (RF) signals to
operate devices from a distance or from an adjacent room. To do this, you
need an optional RF Extender that converts Pronto RF signals into IR signals.
With ProntoEdit software you can create your own screens and define a personal
look. ProntoEdit's Online Help system (accessible via the 'Help' icon in ProntoEdit)
will guide you through the process. You can find ProntoEdit on the included CD-
ROM and on the Philips website www.pronto.philips.com. See "ProntoEdit" on
page 37 for more information.
