Summary: Pronto 9600
Comment: Color Pronto Remote Control - TSU9600 This is a very difficult piece of equipment for the average person to program. I had to get help from a professional and it is still not completely working the way I want it to work. The unit is nice looking but I have noticed that it is best to keep it on the charger. I only purchased it for TV (several) programming. I have several TV's of the same brand and couldn't find a devise that would work each individually. This Pronto does the trick! I do not have a whole house lighting system etc. I have since found other less expensive controllers that would work.

Summary: Not for amateurs
Comment: The Pronto TSU9600 is a powerful control panel that should easily replace all of your remotes, allowing you to consolidate your home theater control in one stylish, easy to use unit. However, programming this unit is not for amateurs. I have the Pronto Pro and had become fairly adept at programming it, but it took many hours to master. The 9600 is far and away more complex, and not user-friendly by anyone's definition. On the plus side, it is a beatiful piece of work, and works great once you have it programmed. If you're technology friendly, I highly recommend it.

Summary: Wow, times 6.
Comment: The wow, times 6 refers to the 6 remotes that I was happily able to put in a drawer by replacing them all with this beauty.
Obviously, it's very expensive and I will tell you right now that I know that it is WAY over-kill for my modest system, but I haven't regretted getting it for one second. Also you need to know that unless you have some programming skills, then you will need someone to program it for you and that will add to the over-all cost, as well. It has zero capability of controlling your system out of the box, and must be custom programmed for all of your devices, and thats not a simple task.
Here's what I have programmed it to control:
Panasonic plasma TV
Tivo HD
Toshiba HD DVD player
Onkyo receiver
Sony PS3 ( using IR USB adapter from Nyko BluWave remote set )
Roku SoundBridge ( via 802.11g wireless communication to SlimServer running on my home network ).
It can also access the internet to grab things like the current time, and weather.
Editorial Review for Color Pronto Remote Control - TSU9600:
The Philips TSU9600 Pronto Home Control Panel Universal Remote gives you complete control of your AV entertainment, lighting and music throughout your entire home. Flush-mounted display means that the screen is not recessed anymore, but instead flows smoothly with the casing. One-touch control allows you to perform multiple commands with one press of a button via a macro. This simplifies selecting tracks and playlists so it frees up your TV screen for other activities. Through optional software, the Pronto control panel can incorporate Windows Media Center Edition (MCE) PC functionality to access any digital files from your MCE PC via the control panel. ProntoScript enables installers to create a dynamic 2-way user interface for system control incorporated in the ProntoEdit Professional software. For typical installations, you may opt to use standard installation reference files and simply re-assign the various components.
