What can I do when my original remote is not recognized (Add device process -
Step 2)?
Make sure the distance between your original remote and your Prestigo is
between 10 and 30 cm. Point the original remote at the IR receiver on the front of
your Prestigo (point at the glossy IR window).
-or-
Some devices (set-top boxes, satellite and cable receivers, TV‟s, ...) originally come
with a universal remote control, that can control several devices. Make sure the
remote control is in a mode or setting in which it controls the device (e.g. TV,
DVD, ...) you want to add.
-or-
It is possible that there is an interference of another source of infrared light.
These are possible sources or Infrared Light (IR) that can cause interference and
what to do about it:
Direct sunlight or nearby strong light sources (plasma TV‟s, fluorescent
lamps, etc.) contain infrared waves. This can interfere with our application.
Try to avoid having the Prestigo in direct sunlight. Switch off any fluorescent
lamps or if you can not, move the Prestigo further away from them. Switch
off your Plasma TV if you have it in the same room.
IrDA (laptop, mobile phone, PDA): IrDA ports will periodically transmit
infrared. This can interfere with our application. Put the Prestigo at the other
side of the laptop or (even better) temporarily disable the IrDA port.
IR from other remote controls, toys, wireless headphones: Make sure no one
else is using infrared controlled devices in the same room while you are
capturing data from your original remote control.
What If I don't have a working original remote when adding a device (Add device
process - Step 2)?
You can add the device via the „Automatically Detect‟ functionality. Select the link
„I don‟t have a working remote‟ in step 2 of the Add device wizard.
In case a mistake or wrong decision was made in one of the steps of this mode,
first finalize adding the device and remove it afterwards. Now try adding the device
again.
Can I add a PS3, WII to my devices list?
Prestigo is based on Infrared signals as the majority (99%) of the audio/video
devices in the market is based on IR signals.
Some exceptions are Bose (RF) and Sony PS3 (Bluetooth). These devices can be
added and controlled if they have an IR receiver or IR dongle attached to it.
WII (RF) cannot be added to the Prestigo device list.
Can I add a Soundbar, Living Sound entertainment system to my devices list?
Yes, select „Home Theater System‟ as device type when adding the device.
Make sure the original remote is in „Amplifier‟, „A/V receiver‟ or „Tuner‟ mode when
executing Step 2 of 2: Automatically recognize my remote.

soft buttons". Click an empty cell to add a button and choose an input function
