Well, the user has to be involved. I typically design a Pronto with one way to turn the system on or off. I came up with screens that asked the power status of the TV for changing modes, going to the CD as a source for example, the Pronto would ask "TV status?" ON, OFF, Override. IF on was pressed, the off command, or power toggle is sent to shut it off, and then the macro to switch to cd mode and jump to the appropriate page is sent. If the other two options are pressed, the Pronto just goes through the normal CD motions. Put in this type of screen to coincide with any type of mode switch, and also to go with the power off sequence. Works great, and customers love it. I, like Eric Johnson, work as a trainer in this field. The lights really turns on in quite a few installers when I present this in trainings.
