Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $199.00 from Tweeter

Summary:
Excellent remote control with great learning capabilities. Althought the sales rep indicated that it would require professional programming I thought it was easy to do so. Mind you, I did spend almost 6 hours to program each of my remotes. Anyway, the software that comes with it is not the most user freindly I have come across, but it did the job. You can add/remove pages, icons, components. You can relabel icons with several font options. Just as an example, I have a Yamaha RX-V995 A/V receiver with this complicated remote. I was able to program the Pronto to select components as well as select DSP's. The same goes for my CD changer. I was able to program each function that I have on the original remote. Keep in mind that the pre-programmed codes do function, but they do not cover all functions. I do recommend using the learning feature for all functions, canned or custom. All in all an excellent remote.

Strengths:
Custom programming.

Weaknesses:
Software could be better.

Similar Products Used:
SIMA, SONY. Tried them out and later returned. Too complicated.
