I finally got my Pronto and spent a couple of hours programming it last night. Today I realize that some of the codes I "taught" it don't work. For example, the "3" button for Mitsubishi TVs. I've tried teaching the Pronto from three different Mits remotes and have tested the Pronto on three different Mits TVs. Each time when I teach the Pronto, the screen indicates "OK", indicating it has received and stored the code, but it just won't transmit the signal when I go back to "USE" mode. All other numeric keys were learned without problem.

I've tried teaching the code from up close (1") and further away (18"), I've tried in a dark room. I've tried deleting the key completely and then restoring it. One thing I haven't tried is a Reset (boy, I really hate to lose all that programming!).

If anyone has any suggestions I would be very appreciative. Please don't offer suggestions which involve ProntoEdit, as I don't have that up and running at this point.

Thanks.

I can say that a reset wont loose the work you've already done. So you wont loose any learned codes if you reset.

Are you learning through ProntoEdit or the actual Pronto? Just last week I had a strange thing where the Record button for my second VCR just wouldn't learn. Once I programmed it through the Pronto itself no problem. Go figure. :-)

I've had the same thing - codes (for a Harman Kardon Receiver) wouldn't work through ProntoEdit, but worked fine with the actual unit. Weird.

Daryl, you're right, of course...I should have said I haven't done a "revert," rather than "reset."

I was trying to learn the codes through the actual Pronto. Like my original post said, I don't have ProntoEdit up and running just yet.

I finally bit the bullet and did a "revert," cancelling out all my programming, then did a "reset" on top of that. Started everything over from scratch. Now the Pronto has learned the problem code just fine. As Daniel said, "Go figure."

Even though my immediate problem is solved, I'd still like to hear any advice anyone may have in case the situation should occur again.

I've noticed that the distance between the remotes for learning isnt always the learning problem, sometimes holding the teaching remotes button to long or not long enough hinders the learning process.

Example: When teaching Pronto my Harmon Kardon's station Tune Up or down button, If I held the button for more than a second Pronto would learn a code but my receiver would not respond to it. Also when I taught its volume buttons to Pronto, holding them for only 1 second allows me to operate my volumes speed with the Pronto a bit faster than the original remote would.

help..... i am trying to decide between buying the pronto or the take control from harman which one of these are better....thanks
