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 page 37 for more information.

Taking a First Look
The Device
Pronto has several hard buttons. Some are freely programmable, some have a predefined function:
■ The buttons on the left side of Pronto and the buttons at the right side of the screen have predefined functions.
■ The utter left button below the touch screen has a predefined function. The two middle buttons below the touch screen and the utter right button are freely programmable. You can reprogram the function of these buttons and change the label on the touch screen.
■ The cursor buttons and buttons on the right side of the cursor are programmed to operate devices, for instance for navigating through the on screen menu of your TV. All these buttons are freely programmable. However, these buttons each have a predefined function. If you learn one of these buttons or assign a macro to it, its predefined function for that database will be permanently lost.

What's New for Pronto Next Generation?
I
This new Pronto offers several new features compared to the previous model. The most important ones are:
■ Light Sensor

automatically according to the ambient light of your own home theater environment.
■ Page Overview
The Page Overview offers you a list of all the pages for one device. Every
device comes with a Page Overview, making it easier and faster to browse through the device pages.
■ 16 Gray Scales
The number of gray scales has increased from 4 to 16. Therefore the buttons
look much more natural.
■ Transparency
Pronto supports transparency in buttons and other objects. This allows the user to create complex user interfaces in an easy way.
■ Cursor Navigation
By default the cursor is programmed to operate devices. The functions assigned to the cursor button depend on the device active on the Pronto. Pronto also offers you the possibility to use the cursor for navigating through devices and pages on the screen. The Left and Right cursor buttons allow you
to scroll through the devices, with the Up and Down cursor buttons you scroll
through the different pages.
.■ Animation Mode
Pronto provides navigation feedback through graphical animations of mode transitions and page transitions. You can enable and disable the animations of your Pronto in the Setup Page.

User Guide
Defining the Brand for a Device
Pronto contains a huge list of brands and their according IR codes in its database. Pronto uses these IR codes to control devices. Because there are several brands using specific IR codes, you have to define the brands and the corresponding code sets for each device. You can either have Pronto autodetect the brand or select it yourself. If a device's brand contains more than one IR code set, you also have to select it.
On the Device Overview you find buttons for the most common video and audio devices. Pronto is set by default to operate Philips and Marantz devices. For all devices other than Philips or Marantz, you first have to define the brand before you can operate them with Pronto.
