Intelligent Remote Control

Pronto is a universal learning remote control that combines elegance,
flexibility and ease of use. It combines a large touchscreen display with an
intuitive user interface and direct-access buttons to conveniently provide
home entertainment control.

Customization (Pronto is as unique as you are!)
Remote controls are typically limited to a certain number of components
and/or functions - not this one. Pronto’s unparalleled design combines
the benefits of a dynamic, digital user interface with direct access buttons.
It’s easy to add, delete, and label new buttons or menus. This allows max-
imum customization according to individual needs and tastes. A special
feature prevents tampering with stored commands. It’s easy to personal-
ize Pronto - set up and change the user interface with any number of
components. Pronto is as unique as you are.

Total Control (Learning universal and expandable)
Pronto can control almost all infrared (IR) receiving devices. It comes 
preprogrammed with RC5 and RC6 commands for Philips and Marantz
components. It can learn new codes - any brand - and even grow in 
functionality as your system changes to accommodate new components.
Pronto gives you the ability to add buttons, devices and macro functions
as desired. The non-volatile flash memory secures the programming even
if the batteries are removed.

Interactive User Interface - (Simplicity and flexibility)
The intuitive graphical user interface is easy to understand.The dynamic
display uses familiar icons and sliding menus which allow for quick and
easy execution of commands. Pronto allows for maximum flexibility for
even the most sophisticated home entertainment systems.

Unique and Elegant Design 
The stylish design makes it not only attractive; but practical for daily use.
The product is designed to accommodate one or two handed, cradled in
the recharging dock, or tabletop operation. Automatic light sensors and
backlighting make it convenient to use Pronto in the dark.

Expandable and Upgradeable
Pronto’s built in two-way IR input/output, coupled with its two-way
RS232 communication serial port ensures that it’s a wise investment.
These standard external ports guarantee compatibility and make it easy
to upgrade with future components and applications.
