Wow... Why on Earth did it take someone so long to produce a product like the Pronto!

After spending a few hours last evening learning the majority of my remotes, I came across one annoyance...

For some reason, I an unable to produce a solid "off" signal for my Yamaha RX-V992. At first I thought I was learning a macro (with the door closed on the big silver remote). But after turning macro off, and learning the off code with the door open I experience the same problem.

I find that I have to hit the learned off key (on the Pronto) three or four times before the unit actually turns off.

Anyone else experience this???

I experienced a similar problem trying to bring up the program guide on a satellite receiver. At first the guide did not come up reliably, and then after reprogramming the same button, it did not come up at all. then i tried programming one of the lower hard-touch buttons to do the same thing and found that it worked perfectly every time. If I had to guess I would think that the previous definition for the first button was not being properly erased. But since I was happy with the new button layout I decided to wait for the software before spending more time it.

Have you tried the reset switch in the back. I had a similar problem with a hard button and the reset did the trick. (You will not loose your configuration)

Hitting the reset button, like on any computer, has solved some of the problems I've experienced with Pronto. Sometimes the hard buttons for volume up and down and channel change won't respond unless the Pronto screen is lighted. Hit the reset, and, voila the buttons light up and respond independent of the screen light.

Thanks Patrick and Donald...

Resetting the Pronto fixed my flakey "off" key. Logically, it doesn't make much sense to me that this would be the fix, but it worked and I'm a happy man!
