An installer at a local shop was having problem with programing an MX-3000 and let me use it to learn so that I could teach him how to do it. I found it to be a really great remote but it was only temporary (1 year, because he was always too busy), but I've only got my PDA software remote (uses pronto edit files) and the MX-3000 is out of my price range.
Anyway, my problem is that my AV switch has no discrete power codes that I know of and I found the MX-3000 "toggles", think that is the right word, to be a great way of overcoming this problem but I've not been able to locate something similar in pronto edit. Can pronto remotes do this also?

I think that the word that you are looking for is "variables". The MX-3000 will keep tracks of "toads" and remembers whether a device is on or off.
I don't think that the Pronto will do this, but someone more knowledgeable may know better.

No it will not. But you may be able to use a work around. What is the product that you are trying to work?

not to mention that you can always build into the config some inteligents due to the linearity
i.e.
Home1 (assume all is of)
Home2 (same layout but now assumes watching DVD for macros)
Home3 (same layout but now assumes watching TV for macros)

to work? I've just replaced an old push button AV switch (was the leak link of the spose's use of the system) with a New Score System Selector Pro 2.0. The new AV switch has an IR remote, but no discrease on/off that I can find (I've look a couple places online). With the MX-3000 this is super easy to code for, but with the Pronto Pro I've not found an easy way yet. I guess I could make multiple main screens, I just hate to do that after programing this type if thing so easily in the MX-3000.

You could try this one, which has discrete inputs. I believe it may have auto on/off, but I am not sure. It also does some upconversion.
If you are stuck with yours, is there some way, like powering off and then on, where it comes to video 1 each time? Then you could go Poweroff, poweron, input, input to get to video 3. Sloppy workaround, but that's what you get if you don't shop beforehand for what you really need.

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |

Tom,
which one?
Screech,
if the component in question is literally just an A/V switch, it requires very little power when it is on. If it has the ability to respond to an IR on/off command, then its power supply is working and its IR receptor is on. Chances are good that when you turn the thing on, the only difference between that and "off" is that the video output appears. If that is so, then you are not saving on power at all by turning it off, so the question arises:
How about not turning it off?
If you want to have a blank screen at some point, and that is why you turn it off, do you have an unused input you can swirch it to?

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

from the sounds of it, its your own home setup. i mean i would just leave it on like ernie said. hopefully your tv has discrete on / off.

Hello...
you did not mentioned the TV's brand but consider this!
Those any button brings you back to tuner? - like 4 examp. "Ch+" if so !
your action selection on the pronto would look like this...
TV Ch+
TV AV
DVD Play....
unless .... your TV is one of those that you have to go all the way to the end of the tuner to go into AV ... In this case you find the last channel and the scrip will look like this
TV Ch#
TV Ch#
TV Enter
TV Ch+
hope it helps....
