`Introduction
`
`Intelligent Remote Control
`The Intelligent Remote Control can be used for most devices that understand
`infrared (IR) remote control signals. Its easy-to-use touch screen and its intuitive
`interface makes it a perfect remote control for every user.
`
`The Remote Control (RC) is completely customizable. In the memory of the
`Remote Control, RC codes are stored to activate different brands for all kinds of
`video and audio devices. The Remote Control is set up by default to operate with
`Philips or Marantz devices. When you have other brands, you simply define the
`brands of your devices when you use the Remote Control for the first time.
`
`The Remote Control can also learn RC codes from existing remote controls. It is
`designed to add devices and functions, relabel buttons, record macros and set
`timers. With the ProntoEdit software you create your own control panels and
`define your personal look.

`Getting the Maximum out of it
`
`Introduction
`The Remote Control is set up by default to operate with Philips or Marantz devices.
`When you have other brands, you can define the brands for your devices and install
`the RC codes to activate those devices.
`
`What makes the Remote Control so powerful is the ability to extend its
`functionality in multiple ways like programming additional functions, adding
`supplementary devices, recording macros and customizing the interface as it suits
`you best.
`
`Working with Modes
`When you operate your devices, the Remote Control is in Use mode. For actions
`other than operating (like learning buttons, recording macro(cid:213)s, adding devices,
`and so on) you have to switch to the appropriate mode:

`

`Redefining Brands
`If you purchase a new device from a brand that you have not yet defined in the
`Remote Control, you need to redefine the brand to activate your new device. You
`can redefine brands by selecting or by searching.
`
`Redefining brands by selecting
`1. Switch to Brand mode via the Mode button

`
`

`

`Learning Commands
`You can program the Remote Control commands by transmitting infrared signals
`from your existing remote controls to the Remote Control(cid:213)s learning eye. To do
`this, place the Remote Control and the device(cid:213)s remote control on a flat surface, 10
`to 20 cm (4 to 8 inches) apart.
`
`The following buttons can be programmed:
`• control panel buttons,
`• device actions,
`• direct-access buttons and Left/Right buttons.
`
`You cannot program Home menu buttons directly. You have to program them via
`the Device menu (see p. 22).
`
`The Remote Control also offers empty control panel buttons which you can
`program and label as existing buttons. They are only visible in Learn and Label
`mode and appear without label or with label (intended for a specific function). You
`will also see previously deleted buttons: you can restore them by reprogramming
`them or you can reuse them for other commands.

`

`6 Press and hold the button the Remote Control has to learn as device action on
`your device(cid:213)s original remote control. The command for the device action is
`assigned to the Device button in the Home menu and in the Device menu.
`If the Remote Control has learned the command successfully, OK flashes on
`the display. You can let go of the button you(cid:213)re holding.
`If the Remote Control has not learned the command successfully, you hear a
`short buzz and FAIL appears on the Remote Control icon.
`7 Program all other device actions you want and return to Use mode via the
`Mode button.
`
`Learning Direct-access and Left/Right Buttons
`Direct-access and Left/Right buttons can be programmed with a global function
`or with functions per device.
`• Buttons with global functions always execute the same command, no matter
`what device is active.
`• Buttons with functions per device execute commands depending on the active
`device. For example, the Left button is the Play command when the VCR is
`active.
`Note
`Per device functions overrule global functions. For example, when you
`program the Volume buttons globally, but you assign a specific function to
`them with the tuner, the specific command will be executed when the tuner is
`the active device.
`Learning a button per device
`1 Switch to the device for which you want to program the button.
`2 Complete instructions 2 to 7 in (cid:210)Learning control panel buttons(cid:211) on page 22.
`Instead of tapping a button on the touch screen, press the direct-access button
`or Left/Right button you want to program.
`The label of the button you have pressed (e.g. chan+ or left) starts flashing on
`the Remote Control icon.

`Troubleshooting
`
`General Problems
`
`The display is blank
`• Tap the screen to make sure the Remote Control is turned on.
`• Adjust the contrast dial on the left side.
`• Make sure the batteries are properly installed.
`•
`Install new batteries or recharge the battery pack using the recharging dock.
`The display is too light or too dark
`• Adjust the contrast dial on the left side.
`The Remote Control shuts itself off
`• This is a feature of the Remote Control to save power. You can change the
`length the Remote Control stays on in the Settings (see p. 16).
`
`Devices do not respond to commands from the Remote Control
`• Make sure the Remote Control is in Use mode (see p. 18).
`• Make sure the Remote Control(cid:213)s sending eye is pointed towards the device
`you(cid:213)re operating.
`• Check if the Low Battery icon is flashing. If so, replace the batteries or
`recharge the battery pack.
`• Check if you have defined the correct brands for your devices.
`• Check if the button you are trying to use is assigned properly via Brand mode
`(see p. 20) or via Learn mode (see p. 20).
`• Check if your device understands Philips-Marantz RC codes. Normally you
`can find this in the documentation of your device.
`
`The Remote Control beeps 4 times after inserting the batteries
`• Use ProntoEdit to update the Remote Control(cid:213)s software (ProntoEdit > Tools
`> Update)

`

`Programming Problems
`
`Buttons are not sending the correct commands
`• Check whether the button is learned globally or per device (see p. 23).
`• Check if you have defined the correct brands for your devices.
`Macros do not work
`• Make sure the Remote Control(cid:213)s sending eye is pointed towards the device
`the entire time the macro is being executed.
`•
`Insert delays to allow devices to start up properly (see p. 31).
`• Check if you don(cid:213)t have included inactive buttons in your macro.
`• Check if you don(cid:213)t have reprogrammed the buttons. Macros do not store
`commands, they store buttons. If you reprogram a button, the macro executes
`the new command assigned to the button.
`
`The TV goes blank or the input source changes
`• The device action for the device you selected might be programmed to switch
`the input source. Operate the device without affecting the input source (see p.
`15).
`
`The Remote Control won(cid:213)t learn, label or delete commands
`•
`If the label locked appears on the Remote Control icon, the device control
`panels have been locked to prevent unwanted changes. You cannot modify or
`delete commands for this device.
`• Make sure your devices are positioned as shown on page 20. Avoid
`programming the Remote Control under bright fluorescent light: it might
`affect the infrared signals.
`• Make sure the button you want to edit has a border. Borderless buttons cannot
`be programmed.
`
`The Remote Control won(cid:213)t switch modes
`• When the batteries are low the Remote Control prevents you from switching
`to customizing modes so that no customization can get lost. Replace the
`batteries or recharge the battery pack (see p. 3).
`
`The Remote Control is low on memory
`• The Remote Control displays a message to clean up the memory. The Remote
`Control will do this by permanently removing devices and macro and timer
`groups you have deleted.
`Warning
`Cleaning up memory can take 10 minutes or longer. Never remove batteries
`during the clean-up process. This might damage the configuration file
`resulting in loss of your customized commands.

`
`

`

`The configuration file is corrupted
`• When this very unlikely event occurs, you have to revert to the original
`configuration. All your customized commands devices and macros will be
`lost and you will have to reprogram your Remote Control.
`
`Remote Control error messages
`•
`If one of the following error messages occurs, please contact your dealer or
`the Philips customer service:
`• Can(cid:213)t open configuration file
`• Configuration file error
`• No configuration file found
`•
`Invalid configuration file version
`
`Recharging Problems
`
`The batteries won(cid:213)t recharge
`• Make sure you are using the rechargeable battery pack included with your
`recharging dock and not the AA batteries.
`
`The indicator light flashes
`• Check if the contacts on the recharging dock are clean and free of
`obstructions.
`• Make sure the Remote Control lies properly on the dock.
`• Make sure the battery pack is installed properly in your Remote Control (see
`p. 4)
