Welcome to the World of Pronto and RC5000 Programing

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

This page was created primarily to share my pronto configuration file and to act as a jumpgate to some greate pronto sites. I have been having a wonderful time customizing my pronto, and you should be able to find my current configuration under the system information section. You will need the ProntoEdit software to view the ccf file, which you can download here.

12-18-2000 Pronto Update
I installed the new screen and added a new section in the Pronto Ravings area that has more information and some pictures of the upgrade process and Pronto internals. The procedure pretty much worked. The install went flawlessly, but the end result is a little disapointing. I have some grey lines near the right and left edges of the screen, the good news is the backlight works. I am making a guess that the problem stems from the fact that I received the wrong revision of the LCD screen. I got a Rev A instead of a Rev G, and at least one other person has seen similar results. I don't know what I will do about it, if anything, but I figured the pictures and procedure was still kind of interesting.
09-05-2000 RTI T2 Update
I have added my review of the remote to the site. I really like the T2 and am very happy with how this has all worked out.
When I made my full configuration I started by making seperate files for each component. I merged these layouts together to form my complete .rti file. I have also created custom IR libraries for some of my components. I have made those available if anyone wants to use them.
09-01-2000 RTI T2 Update
I have spent a few days programming and using my new Theater Touch T2 remote, and I really like it so far. I loved the Pronto so much I did not think any remote would ever be able to take it's place. The T2 has done an admirable job filling the void, and is much cooler than I thought it would be.
The primary reason I wanted the T2 was because I wanted a universal remote that could handle the everyday use of all my components. The Pronto could do that, but controlling a TiVo with it is a pain because of all the menu navigation. The T2 handles this task exceptionally well.
