Pronto TSU9400 prontoAug 31, 2009
1. User guide didn't match the software for Pronto Edit. I downloaded the latest version of pronto edit from the website because the software that came with the disk was an older version. The software was greta, but some aspects of the software were hard to learn. I couldn't find the latest manual to support the latest software but 99% of what I needed to know was in the older user's guide. For the parts I couldn't figure out on my own, I called customer support and they were attentive and able to help resolve some of those issues.
2. Apple TV. When using my apple TV, the remote learns the codes as expected, but I haven't figured out how to scroll down with it. With an extensive library, it is very painstaking to keep hitting the button because it only scrolls one at a time. I might figure it out later, but as for now I keep the Apple TV remote handy.
3. Channel Macros. For some reason, when I am using my cable box, if the last button I touched on the Pronto was a button that corresponds to any device other than the cable box the macro doesn't work. I have to press something like channel up or channel down, and then the channel button. I'm in Brazil, so it might have something to do with the cable box down here, or the remote...not really sure but I am still working the bugs out.
4. It takes a while to set up, but well worth it. On a technology knowledge scale from 1 to 10, I would say that I am a 5. Definately not the smartest guy, but able to learn. If you are willing to take the time and play around with it, buy it. Don't expect to have it ready to go within 1 hour of taking it out of the box. There are alot of programs you can copy from [...] or other places to make it a little easier.
5. I upgraded from an older version because the older version had a serial-port -vs- USB. If considering this remote vs an older version, Take a look at your computer first to see what kind of capabilities/ports it has.
6. I rated a 4 instead of a 5 just because it can be difficult to learn. For the capabilities/appearance I would rate it about 4.9...For user freindliness of learning...about a 3.

 Get rid of all your remotes!Aug 16, 2009
If you are tired of multiple controls, this is worth every penny. I have configured the PRONTO for our TV, DVR, stereo, CDs, DVD player, DirecTV. Programming can be complicated but if you follow the directions, you can make your entertainment life easier.

Coolest thing since sliced bread!Dec 22, 2008
I purchased this remote when I put my new surround system in the house. The software (ProntoEdit)that is used to program the remote is very easy to use once you understand the whole process of the programming. Basically, you have screens that you put graphics [buttons] on and assign them functions. The easiest thing to do is to play with the templates that come with the system. Phillips has provided the remote codes for literally hundreds of existing remotes for industry products. For me, unfortunately, not one of my electronic pieces was listed probably because they are all very new and/or too esoteric items. This is no problem at all as the remote (software) can easily learn any code simply by attaching the USB cable that came with it to the Pronto and your computer and selecting to learn the code by pointing your old remote at the Pronto and pressing the key you wish to learn. You can have it learn an entire remote in 10 to 20 minutes depending on how fast you can type the descriptions. It's simply amazing how cool this thing is and the flexibility you have to make it do what you want and look how you want it. With the software, you can change anything on the remote any time and simply upload it to the remote. You will be using the remote and decide that you would like to move a key or have a new one on your layout. This is something that you can do easily. If you have a laptop computer, it's even nicer. You can sit in your easy-chair on a Sunday afternoon watching TV and get your remote programmed the way you like it. It will take more time than that if you have several remotes to set up as you will probably change the menus and button designs a time or two before you get things laid out the way you want them. At any rate, this remote will do it all. Be sure to upload the most current Firmware to your Pronto. This is very easy to do: go to the Phillips website and download the newest one and click on it. It will tell you the current one your Pronto has (make sure your remote is hooked to your PC via the USB cable) and if you want it to put the new one on. Click the yes and it will do it seamlessly. One word of caution: You will need a Microsoft based PC to run the ProntoEdit software and you MUST program the remote to use it - this is not for simpletons!

The best remote you can buySep 27, 2008
I recently bought a harmony remote. There was no flexibility in programming it. It could not completely replace the other 5 remotes. The result was to have to use 6 remotes. With the Philips remote, all my old remotes are now in storage. This device is amazing. True you have to have some computer skills to set it up, but programming is not a requirement. It does not require you to learn java script to get it set up. At first you might have difficulties in doing the design, but once you tackle one remote at a time, it becomes simple. The results are well worth the time spent.

 TerribleSep 02, 2008
You virtually need a course to program this thing. I do not recommend it for anyone. I tried to figure the thing out for about two hours with little progress. It went back the same day. I bought the thing to make life a little easier and instead I paid premium money for a headache.
