Introduction 

The 

dCS Scarlatti Transport

 is supplied with a Philips Pronto TSU9400 remote control handset pre-

programmed to control the 

Scarlatti 

system. Please consult the Philips Pronto User Guide supplied 

with the handset for instructions for charging, programming and basic operation of the handset. This 
manual describes the software installed by 

dCS

, which was designed for the 

Scarlatti 

system, but can 

also be used with 

Paganini,

 

Puccini

 and 

Debussy 

as well as our older models. A basic one-page 

navigation guide for 

Scarlatti 

is enclosed in the package. 

The Philips Pronto is a powerful and flexible programmable remote control that can perform a number 
of sophisticated control functions, as well as controlling other items of equipment. Please consult the 
Philips Pronto User Guide for details.
