Are you referring to this?

Pronto receives infrared (IR) feedback from electronic components, including TVs, VCRs, DVD players, CD players, cable boxes, laser disc players, DSS systems, AM/FM tuners and a variety of other A/V devices.

It's confusingly written. What that really means is that it will receive and learn signals from the *remote controls* of TVs, VCRs, etc.
