Its easy-to-use touch screen with 256 colors and its intuitive interface makes it a perfect remote control for every user. The Remote Control (RC) is completely customizable. In the memory of the Remote Control, RC codes are stored to activate different brands for all kinds of video and audio devices. The Remote Control is set up by default to operate with Philips or Marantz devices. When you have other brands, you simply define the brands of your devices when you use the Remote Control for the first time. The Remote Control can also learn RC codes from existing remote controls. It is designed to add devices and functions, relabel buttons, record macros and set timers. With the ProntoPro Edit software you create your own control panels and define your personal look. If you want to operate devices from a distance or from an adjacent room, you can use the Remote Control with radio frequency (RF) signals and an RF Extender.

Using the Remote Control with Radio Frequency Warning To use the Remote Control with radio frequency (RF) you need an RF Extender, which is not included with the Remote Control. By default, the Remote Control uses infrared (IR) signals to operate devices. This means that you have to point the Remote Control’s sending eye towards the device you’re operating. IR signals have an operating distance of 10 meters (33 feet). User Guide You can choose to operate devices using radio frequency (RF) signals instead of IR signals. RF signals have an operating distance of approximately 20 meters (66 feet) in house and can, unlike IR signals, go through obstacles like furniture or walls. The RF signals sent out by the Remote Control are picked up by the RF Extender. The RF Extender translates the RF signals in IR signals and sends the IR signals to the appropriate device. 39 IR signals RF signals IR signals RF Extender Getting the Maximum out of it Therefore, the RF Extender has to be placed near the device you’re operating with the RF Extender’s sending eye pointed to the device. Your devices will always receive IR signals either directly from the Remote Control or from the RF Extender. Changing the Remote Control’s RF IR Settings All devices are set up by default to work with IR signals. To be able to operate one or more devices with RF signals, you have to change the Remote Control’s RF IR settings for those devices. 1 Make sure the Device tab is active.
