What you need to do is download a couple of the
superb .PCFs in the files area.
Since all devices have pretty much similar commands,
and most can be controlled with a smller subset,
figure out which PCF you like and replace the
IR commands in that PCF with those of your devices....learn
direct from your remotes.
For instance, even though it may have many sophisticated
or unique commands, your DVD's basic commands
are pretty much the same as any other DVD, so
take the appropriate pages from an existing DVD
PCF and add your IR commands in place of those
in it now.
Same with other devices.
Then spend some time pruning out devices, pages
and commands you do not use. Modify to suit your
needs and preferences as well.
You can expect to do several iterations before
having your "perfect" config, but that is part
of the fun (really) with the Pronto.
En-route to your final config, you should have
some completely usable iterations. They will just
require fine-tuning.
Make sure you are doing your programming attached
to a PC, not freehand on the Pronto. Attached
is much faster, and you can preview in the emulator.
Dave's Ultimate Pronto Guide is a worthwhile purchase.
For $15 it is FAR superior to the Philips documentation
and it leads you through just about everything
a Pronto can do.
http://www.prontowizard.com/Daniel's PCF is a superb example of what you can
do using virtually every capability of the system.
Great bitmaps and impressive exploitation of every
facet of Pronto programming.
There are many much better than mine (which is
posted here too) but as an example, my 3 and 4
year old daughters are able to operate my config.
I used some superb graphics from the other PCFs
in the collection, and built an activity-based
config.
If no kids, consider tweaking something like I
did, but instead of Kid's TV and Dad's TV, do
Living Room TV and Bedroom TV.
Once you have it working right, your wife will
forgive you (especially if you add some "Hot Buttons"
for her to go to her favorite channels)
Flowers always help too.
