ProntoPro NG: The Home Theater Control Panel

ProntoPro NG 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 works with infrared (IR) remote control signals. Its intuitive interface makes it a perfect remote control for every user.

ProntoPro NG 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 ProntoPro NG is set up to control Philips and Marantz devices. For other brands you simply choose the brands of your devices when you use ProntoPro NG for the first time.

Furthermore the ProntoPro NG is equipped with a color touch screen. This TFTdisplay supports 65536 colors so you can upload any color picture.

ProntoPro NG 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 set timers for certain actions to be carried out at predefined times,

e.g. switching on your lights or recording your favorite daily TV-show with your VCR.

■ You can choose to have ProntoPro NG 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 ProntoPro NG RF signals into IR signals.

User Guide

With ProntoProEdit NG software you can create your own screens and define a personal look. ProntoProEdit NG’s Online Help system (accessible via the ‘Help’ icon in ProntoProEdit NG) will guide you through the process. See ‘ProntoProEdit NG’ on page 53 for more information. You can find ProntoProEdit NG on the included CD-ROM and on the Philips website

.pronto.philips.com. In the Downloads section of the website you can also

www find the latest upgrades for your ProntoPro NG software.

Taking a First Look

The Device

ProntoPro NG has several hard buttons. Most are freely programmable, some have a predefined function:

■ The buttons on the left side of the ProntoPro NG screen have predefined

functions: Page up, Page down and Backlight.

■ The 4 firm keys below the touch screen are freely programmable. You can

reprogram the function of these buttons and change the label on the touch screen.

■ The cursor and the Home button on the right side of the cursor are

programmed to operate devices (e.g. navigating through the on screen menu of your TV). With the Toggle button you can change the working of the cursor. The free programmable and the OK button are meant for future purposes. The buttons on the right side of the screen are used to control the volume and channel: Channel up, Channel down, Mute, Volume up and Volume down. Although these buttons each have a predefined function, you can program them yourself. If you learn one of these buttons or assign a macro to it, its predefined function will be permanently lost.

What’s New for ProntoPro Next Generation?

This new ProntoPro NG (TSU7000) offers several new features compared to the previous model of ProntoPro (TSU6000). The most important ones are:

■ Transparency

ProntoPro NG supports transparency in buttons and other objects. This makes it easier to create complex user interfaces. You can now place buttons with a transparent background on top of a background image, let transparent buttons overlap or create transparency effects within buttons.

■ 65536 colors

The number of colors has increased from 256 to 65536 (64k). Therefore the buttons look much more natural.

■ USB

ProntoPro NG has a USB port to make downloading much easier.

■ 32 MB of Memory

ProntoPro NG has 32 Megabyte of memory. This enables you to download larger configuration files to ProntoPro NG.

■ Integrated Macros

Macros are now better integrated in the configuration file. Each button can be a macro, this means each button can contain more than one action.

■ More advanced Timers

Your ProntoPro NG is able to set timers for certain actions to be carried out at any time you choose. Timers are not an entirely new feature of ProntoPro NG, but they are easier to use and better integrated with the configuration file. You can activate and deactivate the timers you created and you can also set them to repeat daily or weekly. For instance, you can have the lights switched on every day at sunset. You can also create a timer to set your VCR to record your favorite TV-show on Wednesday and Saturday.

■ 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.

■ Cursor Navigation

By default the cursor is programmed to operate devices. The functions assigned to the cursor button depend on the device active on ProntoPro NG. ProntoPro NG 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

ProntoPro NG provides navigation feedback through graphical animations of mode transitions and page transitions. You can enable and disable the animations of your ProntoPro NG in the Settings Pages.

■ Multi Language Support

ProntoPro NG now supports besides English also Spanish, French, German and Dutch.

Before You Start

When you use ProntoPro NG for the first time, you will have to:

■ install the battery pack;

■ place ProntoPro NG in the docking station and charge it.

Attention Use the docking station only with the Philips NiMH rechargeable battery pack.

When the ProntoPro NG is fully charged, the charging LEDs switch off. Normal charging time is 2 to 3 hours, depending on the condition of the battery pack.

When the charging LEDs are flashing, an error has occurred. Try one of the following:

■ Make sure the battery pack is properly installed in your ProntoPro NG.

■ Make sure the ProntoPro NG is placed properly in the docking station.

■ Check if the connector in the docking station is clean and free of obstructions.

■ Cool down the battery pack.

Defining the Brand for a Device

ProntoPro NG contains a huge list of brands and their corresponding IR codes in its database. ProntoPro NG uses these IR codes to control devices.

You can either have ProntoPro NG autosearch 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. ProntoPro NG 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 ProntoPro NG.

Adding Devices

The Add Tool allows you to add a new device or copy an existing device. When you add a new device, a device template stored on your ProntoPro NG is used to create the device pages, buttons and functions. By default Philips IR codes are used when you add a new device. For your brand of device, you then have to program the new device using the Brand Tool (page 20) or the Learn Tool (page 23). Copying an existing device saves time. The personal settings you defined for that device will also be copied. For instance, if you want to add a second CD player, you do not have to define the Brand, learn or create macros again. You can just copy them from the existing CD player already programmed on your ProntoPro NG.

FAQ

Why don’t my buttons work properly?

When you find that your ProntoPro NG does not send out the commands in accordance with what is indicated on the touch screen, it is advised to recalibrate the touch screen. Calibration is necessary when you notice that tapping a button activates one of the adjacent buttons or when you have to tap next to a button to activate it. Calibration enables ProntoPro NG to place the icons on the touch screen in line with their predefined functions.

Attention Never use an actual pen, pencil or other sharp object on the touch screen. Use a

pointy object like a plastic-tipped pen or a stylus intended for use with touch screens.

Troubleshooting

General Problems

ProntoPro NG shuts off automatically

This is a timeout feature of ProntoPro NG to save power. You can change the time ProntoPro NG stays active in the Settings Tool. See ‘Setting the Timeout of the LCD Screen’ on page 33 for more information.

The touch screen buttons on the ProntoPro NG do not respond properly

If the touch screen buttons on the ProntoPro NG do not respond properly, calibrate the touch screen. See ‘Calibrating the Touch Screen’ on page 35 for more information.

Devices do not respond to commands from ProntoPro NG

■ Make sure the ProntoPro NG’s sending eye is pointed towards the device you

are operating.

■ Check if the Low Battery icon has appeared on the screen. If so, place the

ProntoPro NG in the docking station and recharge the battery pack.

■ Check if your device understands Philips-Marantz RC codes. Normally you can

find this in the documentation of your device.

■ Make sure you have defined the correct brands for your devices. (p. 20)

■ Make sure you have defined the correct code set for your devices. (p. 21)

■ Check if the button you are trying to use is assigned properly via Brand Tool or

via Learn Tool. (p. 23)

■ Check if your device is in RF mode. Switch your device back to IR mode. (p. 52)

■ If you have set up your ProntoPro NG to operate devices with RF signals:

■ Check in the RF IR Tool if the devices you want to operate are set up

properly. (p. 51)

■ Check if the Extender ID and the Channel ID on your ProntoPro NG match

the Extender ID and the Channel ID on the RF Extender.

■ Make sure the RF Extender is placed near the devices you want to use

with RF signals.

■ Make sure that the distance between the RF Extender and the

ProntoPro NG is at least 1 meter.

■ Make sure that the RF Extender’s sending eye is pointed towards the

device.

Troubleshooting

Customizing Problems

Buttons are not sending the correct commands

■ Make sure you have defined the correct brands for your devices. (p. 20)

■ Make sure you have defined the correct code set for your devices. (p. 21)

■ Make sure you should calibrate your screen. (p. 35)

■ Check whether the button of the device is learned properly. (p. 23)

■ Check whether the macro recorded properly. (p. 38)

Macros do not work

■ Make sure ProntoPro NG’s sending eye is pointed towards the device the

entire time the macro is being executed.

■ The sending eye is located at the top of ProntoPro NG.

■ Insert delays to allow devices to start up properly.

■ Check for inactive buttons in your macro.

■ Check if you did not reprogram the buttons. Macros do not store commands,

they store buttons. If you reprogram a button, the macro executes the new command assigned to the button.

ProntoPro NG will not learn commands

■ Make sure your ProntoPro NG and the remote control are positioned correctly.

■ When the sending eye of your existing remote control is not pointed

towards the learning eye of the ProntoPro NG, ProntoPro NG might not receive the signals properly. Align the remote controls as correctly as possible.

■ When the distance between your existing remote control and the

ProntoPro NG is too short or too long, ProntoPro NG might not receive the signals properly. Try out several distances between 5 and 20 centimeters (2 and 8 inches) to learn the commands.

■ Avoid programming ProntoPro NG under bright fluorescent light, in sunlight or

in a dark room: it might affect the infrared signals.

■ Make sure the battery pack in the ProntoPro NG is not empty.

■ Press and hold the key on the other remote control for more than one second.

Glossary

Action An action is a command that will be executed by ProntoPro NG. An

action can be an IR code, a link, a delay or a beep. You can assign one or more actions to a button or a hard button. It is the same as a macro.

Action list An action list is a list of actions assigned to a button or a hard button.

An action list can contain up to 250 actions.

Animation mode ProntoPro NG provides navigation feedback through graphical

animations. These animations can be found in the Animation mode. You can enable and disable the animations of your ProntoPro NG in the Settings Pages.

Branding ProntoPro NG contains a list of brands and their according IR codes in its

database. ProntoPro NG uses IR codes to control devices. Because there are several brands using specific IR codes, you have to define the brand and code set for each device.

Button alias See Link.

Button backlight The Button backlight is a special light source that is placed behind the

hard buttons on your ProntoPro NG, enhancing the visibility of these buttons.

Calibration Calibrating the touch screen enables ProntoPro NG to exactly match the

icons on the touch screen with their predefined functions.

Code set A code set is a list of IR codes. Audio and video devices of different

brands use different code sets. A device can only receive and execute functions from the correct code set.

Cursor navigation There are two ways of navigating through ProntoPro NG: using the touch

screen or using the cursor for navigation. When you select cursor navigation, the cursor can only be used for navigating through devices and pages on ProntoPro NG touch screen, not for controlling audio/video equipment.

Delay A delay is a pause between two actions. A delay gives the device

enough time to execute the first action before it receives an impulse to execute a second action.

Device Every device in the configuration file appears on the Device Overview

Page of ProntoPro NG and in the tree view in ProntoProEdit NG. A device represents the equipment you want to control with ProntoPro NG, for instance a TV, VCR, CD player, Amplifier, Satellite receiver or any device operated by an IR remote. The device contains a number of pages with buttons.

Device action A device action is an action that is executed automatically when you

select a device. E.g. when you select TV, you can learn your ProntoPro NG to switch on the TV at the same time.

Device Overview You use the Device Overview on ProntoPro NG to access the different

devices. The Device Overview contains buttons for each device in the configuration. By pressing these buttons you navigate to the first page of the selected device.

Glossary

User Guide

Device settings The device settings are the type of device, the brand, the IR code set

and the functions. In order to control a device with your ProntoPro NG, you first have to set the device settings.

Device template You can create a template from a device in ProntoProEdit NG Advanced

Mode. When you add a new device on ProntoPro NG, this template will be used.

Firm key ProntoPro NG has 4 firm keys located below the touch screen. The label

of a firm key is displayed at the bottom of the touch screen. You can configure the functions of the firm keys, just like most hard buttons and the buttons on the touch screen. The strength of the firm keys is that you can also configure their label, so they can always indicate the function assigned to them.

Hard button A hard button is a button that can be pressed and generates an event.

Hard buttons can be found on ProntoPro NG. Their layout and visual aspects cannot be changed. You can configure the functions of the hard buttons, just like the firm keys and the buttons on the touch screen.

IR Short for infrared.

IR code ProntoPro NG sends out infrared (IR) signals to operate devices. IR codes

for all kinds of video and audio device brands are stored in ProntoPro NG’s universal database. By selecting IR codes and assigning them to buttons and hard buttons, you can program your ProntoPro NG to operate your equipment. When IR codes are not present in the database, you can always learn them from the conventional remote control of your equipment.

Label A label is the text you want to put on a soft button or a firm key.

LCD Short for liquid crystal display.

LCD backlight LCD backlight is a special light source that is placed behind the LCD

screen, enhancing the visibility of this screen.

Link A link, also called a button alias, is a shortcut from the action list of one

button to the action list of another button. Instead of adding the same actions to several buttons or hard buttons, you can create a link and reuse the action list. When your ProntoPro NG is executing an action list and comes across a link, the action list referred to by that link is executed.

Macro A macro is a sequence of actions executed when pressing a single

button on ProntoPro NG. Every button or hard button can act as a macro and perform a list of commands. It is the same as an action list.

Mode animation When you switch from using the ProntoPro NG to the Tools Menu, the

ProntoPro NG icon shifts at the top area of the touch screen. This is called a ‘mode animation’.

Page A page of a device is the area of 320 by 240 pixels on ProntoPro NG’s

touch screen containing buttons or other objects.

Glossary

Page animation When you switch from one page to another, the first page slides out of

the screen and the second page slides in the screen. This is called a ‘page animation’.

ProntoPro NG ProntoPro NG is a universal remote control with a touch screen. You can

customize and fully configure ProntoPro NG to your personal needs: the devices you want to operate, the functions you want to perform and the layout on ProntoPro NG.

ProntoProEdit NG ProntoProEdit is the visual editor for creating and configuring ProntoPro

Configuration Files.

RF Short for Radio Frequency.

RF code You can choose to operate your devices with RF signals instead of IR

signals. To use RF signals, you need an RF Extender. The advantage of RF is that it spreads in all directions and that it pervades walls. In other words, you can operate your devices from an adjacent room.

RF Extender An RF Extender is a converter box that receives RF signals and turns

them into IR signals to operate devices. When your ProntoPro NG sends out RF codes, the RF Extender receives them and sends out IR codes to your devices.

RFX6000 The RFX6000 is an RF Extender that can be used in combination with

ProntoPro NG.

Settings Tool The Settings Tool allows you to consult and adjust several settings, for

instance consulting the battery level, setting the date and time, calibrating the touch screen, ...

Simulator ProntoPro NG simulator is a separate application in ProntoProEdit NG

package, which simulates every aspect of your ProntoPro NG. You use ProntoPro NG simulator to test your PCF without the need to download it to your ProntoPro NG. When you make changes in ProntoPro NG simulator, they will not be saved in the configuration file.

Soft button A soft button is a button that can be found on the touch screen. The

layout and the visual aspects of a soft button can be changed. You can also configure the functions of the soft buttons.

Tim er A timer allows you to define actions to be carried out at predefined

times. For instance, you can set an alarm or program your VCR to record your favorite daily TV-show.

Touch screen The touch screen of your ProntoPro NG is the centered area that

contains soft buttons you can use to operate the remote control.

USB USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a ‘plug and play’ interface between a

computer and add-on devices (such as audio players, joysticks, keyboards, telephones, scanners, and printers).
