I bet you never thought it'd be this successful.

Happy Holidays

Thanks, Lyndel, yes you are rigfht and Happy Holidays to you!

As you know, I wrote the Guide to entice Philips into including it with their product. Not successful at that time, so I decided to sell it one-at-a-time, on my web page. It has well surpassed my expectations and then some!

Have a great holiday season!

You can download someone elses config and tweek it to your liking. I did this to start. Granted, I've invested probably 100 hours since between tweaking, adding new components, etc., but the more you do it the easier it get.

In fact, if you want to email me, I'll send you my config. I have the following components which seem to very much match yours.

Denon AVR 3805 Receiver
Denon DVD 5900
Polk Xrt10 XM Tuner
Mitsubishi Big Screen TV
Philips DirecTV Tivo Tuner/DVR
Denon CD Player
Mitsubishi HiFi VCR
Nakamichi BX300 tape deck
X10 lighting control

In fact, I love my config. It's what I call "Spousal Friendly" meaning my wife or a guest can pick it up, and without knowing anything can control the entire house immediately. Works AWESOME.

Absolutely. Pick a config you like. Move or add the buttons you don't need or wish to have appear differently. You can easily edit the names. Then, delete the codes before downloading to your pronto. Then you just relearn the codes and reupload. The hardest part of the Pronto other than "strategizing" on how you want it to look and how you want the macros to run (not that difficult) is in my mind the graphics. I know my limits, and ART aint one of my fortes, so I've relied totally on others graphics and come up with what I've been told is a pretty nice config. Now, mind you, the folks surfing here have some INSANE graphics, so mine probably pales by comparison to many here, but works and looks awesome compared to a normal remote. I started with Adrian Ballards config, which was used by many and has a home page that is set up with three options "LOOK, LISTEN, PLAY" and then launches macros for each devise depending on what you choose.
