changing the interface as it suits you best.

Defining the Brand for a Device

Pronto contains a huge list of brands and their according IR codes in its database.

Pronto uses these IR codes to control devices. Because there are several brands

using specific IR codes, you have to define the brands and the corresponding code

sets for each device. You can either have Pronto autodetect the brand or select it

yourself. If a device's brand contains more than one IR code set, you also have to

select it.

On the Device Overview you find buttons for the most common video and audio

devices. Pronto is set by default to operate Philips and Marantz devices. For all

devices other than Philips or Marantz, you first have to define the brand before you

can operate them with Pronto.
