User Guide 3 Taking a First Look 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. ProntoEdits 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.
