Pronto remote - program it myself ?
I'm about to leap over the edge with technology and was wondering if anyone would like to comment on this aspect of it.
If you have a Pronto remote, did you program it yourself ?
The sales person at Tweeter says that everyone that tries that comes back.
They want $889 for the remote with complete programming of all my other remotes (what about 6-8 of them).
What happens if/when I add a new device, who programs that in ?
Where do I get all of the codes for each of the individual remotes ?
I will want the Pronto to have the capablity of execting every function of every remote that I have.
Would I be better off buying this online (lower cost) and doing all the programming myself ? Or would this be looking for trouble ?
What are the opinons on the best way to approach this aspect of Home Theather ?
Thanks in advance for any inputs,
Mike
Factory Reconditioned ??? Worth the Risk ??
What do you think of this ...... they offer a 90 day warranty through Philips ..... go for it ??

I still have reservations about doing all the programming on this.
I went to the REMOTECENTRAL.COM site .........weeeeeee, blew my little mind I'll tell ya ..... Got lost in the first 5 minutes, seemed overwhelming .... but most 'new' things we get exposed to always seems that way at first
Thanks for any ideas !!
Pronto Remote . . . Not pleased.
Had very unpleasant experience with this product. Never did work that way it was advertised and actually caused a few problems with my computer. Not pleased at all.
Still Deciding on the Pronto

There are ways you can get around it--the pronto has a few hard buttons that you can assign for your own use...but if this is likely to bug you, take a look at the other options before spending your $$.
Thanks Sam .... currently here's my new thoughts. I was considering that I'd buy a Denon 3803 and was going to go with the Pronto.
NOW I think that I'm going to purchase a Denon 3805. I'm going to download the manual today and read all about that new programable remote that they have with the 3805, it's supposed to be capable of macros and such and can learn your entire system. So I'm going to wait on the Pronto ..... if in fact I get the 3805 I'll try it out on all my equipment ... if it can satisfy my needs then I can save a buch of time and money by not getting the pronto.
Not to mention the other nice new features of the 3805 :D ..... what the heck is $300 more dollars. :eek:
Anybody seen this new remote ?
Thanks,
Mike
