Taking a First Look

ProntoNEO is an Intelligent Remote Control that can be used for

virtually all audio and video devices that understand infrared (IR)

remote control signals. Its easy-to-use LCD touch screen and its

intuitive interface make it a perfect remote control for every user.

In the memory of ProntoNEO, IR codes are stored to activate

different brands for all kinds of video and audio devices.

ProntoNEO is set up by default to operate with Philips and

compatible devices. When you have other brands, you simply

define the brands of your devices when you use ProntoNEO for the

first time. See ‘Defining the Brands of Your Devices’ on p. 15 for

more details.

ProntoNEO can also learn IR codes from your existing remote

controls. ProntoNEO can receive and store the IR codes by means

of its learning eye. See ‘Learning Commands’ on p. 18 for more

details.

Recording macros is another feature of the ProntoNEO. If you wish

to assign a sequence of commands to a single button, you can

record a macro. See ‘Recording Macros’ on p. 20 for more details.

With the NEOedit software for PC you can create your own screens

and define a personal look. NEOedit’s on line help system will

guide you through the process. In the future NEOedit will also

allow you to upgrade your ProntoNEO. You can find NEOedit on

the included CD-ROM and on the Philips website

http://www.pronto.philips.com. See ‘NEOedit’ on p. 25 for more

details.
