i am writing a report comparing logitech's harmony to the pronto. i work at logitech at the moment on a coop term and so i know pretty much how the harmony works. however, i've been looking everywhere for info on the pronto and there's one thing i cannot understand.

i realize that if you have a device that the pronto does not already have ir codes for, you must teach those commands via the original remotes. but what if you have a philips tv for which the pronto holds commands for already? how do you indicate that on the pronto and select the proper model on it without confusion?

any feedback is appreciated. thank you.

Alert!!! Enemy at the Gates!!! Just kidding!!!!

You can download the software from this site and try it for yourself. You will see how, using the ProntoEdit software, that you can use what are known as User Database (UDB) codes.

The manuals are also on this site telling you how to do all these things.

Check here.

the SW also has an emulator that works exactly like a Pronto (if you want to know how the remote part works)



as for the answer, it does not keep track of models, you need to try the several codesets for a given device/manufacturer. There is also the file section on this site and that is divided in models.

PS this is the Pronto classic section and talks about the older Prontos. with the Pronto TSU-3000 that came out around 2 years ago you would want the Pronto NG section (next- generation)

Good point. You wouldn't want to write a full and complete report on a product that has been out of production for several years, now, would you?

The software for the NG product is available through the NG files section, and it also has an emulator that will let you see how the remote works. The software would probably look identical to you if you have not learned how to use it. There are some subtle and some large differences between the NG and OG (original generation) software. Don't bother to mess with the OG at this point, as it is only useful to someone who has an old remote.
