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.

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 and the OK and Home 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?
This new Pronto offers several new features compared to the previous model.
The most important ones are:
■Light Sensor
The Light Sensor on your Pronto causes the backlight to switch on
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.
■RF
By default, Pronto operates your devices with IR signals. However, you can
choose to have Pronto working with radio frequency (RF) signals to operate
devices from a distance or from an adjacent room. An RF Extender (not
included) is therefore required.
■USB
Pronto is provided with a USB port. The USB port makes downloading much
easier.
■4 MB of memory
Pronto has 4 MegaByte of memory. This enables you to download larger
configuration files to Pronto.
