Philips Pronto TSU9400 LCD Touchscreen Remote Control

Pros: Works with all my devices including Tivo
Cons: Expensive

Once programmed for your system the Pronto TSU2000 is the best thing since sliced bread to consolidate all your remotes and automate your entertainment system. To watch a DVD you press the DVD logo on the “home” page and the Pronto does the rest....

Pros: Unlimited functionality
Cons: A little to wide for my small hands

The Philips Pronto is definitely money well spent if you have over four components in your home theatre. I thought for sure that my wife would despise it because of its sheer geeky-ness. Happily I misjudged this remotes abilities to impress all those wh ...

Pros: PC programmability, powerful IR, easiest remote to use
Cons: takes time to set up, expensive

The Philips Pronto is a $400 retail, ~$300 mail-order programmable remote control. It ships with a PC software package and a serial interface, so design work can be done with a mouse and keyboard and downloaded. It offers 7 physical buttons and a...

Pros: The only remote you'll every need -- Really!
Cons: Limited memory

Until I bought the Pronto, my coffee table in the entertainment room had 6 or 7 remotes lying around. To switch from local HD to the VCR, press this first, then 2 flips of that switch (if it is on, otherwise, turn it on, then ...) You'd need an advanced...

Pros: One remote, allows easy-access home-theater
Cons: Complex to program, expensive

I travel a lot and we have a pretty complex home-theater/stereo system, and with a total of 8 remote controls the system was quite complex to use. I would often receive desperate phone calls from home: "the TV is just snow" or "I can hear...

Pros: Programmability, web resources, ease of use
Cons: A bit pricey

Ok, it's not cheap, but it is awesome. I have had this remote for less than a week, and it has already become an essential part of my system. It is easy to use, simple to program and covers EVERY device (that uses a standard infrared remote control) in...

Pros: powerful macros, infinite customizability, supports discrete codes, remotecentral.com user community
Cons: high price, fragility, initial set up time, not enough hard keys!

Philips Pronto is a touchscreen remote which looks and feels like a thick and heavier Palm device. This aftermarket remote control is simply the best remote out there for removing remote control clutter. No longer will you have to have eight different...

Pros: Totally customizable, small for a touch screen, very powerful.
Cons: Eat batteries, ProntoEdit can be confusing at first.

This is my second touch screen remote, and replaced Sony’s RM-AV2100 on my coffee table. If you read my review on the RM-AV2100 you should have got the impression that though it is a nice for a universal remote, it is nothing special for a touch screen....

Pros: Functionality, Unlimited possibilities
Cons: Lack of Tactile feedback?

Because I love electronic toys, I had to have this.
After using it for a few weeks or so, I am astounded by what a great purchase this really was.

My Home Theater system is not the most massive thing in the world. However the combination...

Pros: More than just a remote; a true solution.
Cons: Wish it had a few more hard buttons, and might be expensive for some...

I've gone through more "universal" remotes than I care to mention, and I can honestly say that this is the first one I've ever used that helped me to really put away all my other remotes. Other universal remotes have certain codes built into them, but...

Pros: Customizability - reduce clutter
Cons: Customizability - First time use is very limited.

While looking around for a remote that could replace the plethora of remotes that littered my table tops I ran into many of all shapes, sizes, and costs. The ones for $20 from Radio Shack while competent just didn't have the customizability that I...

Pros: Powerful, customizable, back-lit LCD, ProntoEdit software
Cons: No more light sensor, software takes getting used to

This review is based on my experience using the Pronto (TSU-2000 with 2MB memory). At first glance, the Pronto may look like a very thick Palm-based device because of its LCD touch screen. In many ways, the Pronto seems more like a computer than a...

Pros: Unchallenged Customization Potential, High "Gizmo" Value.
Cons: Expensive, advanced programming takes skill, battery pack & docking station problematic.

What can be said? I've not found anything in it's price range that comes anywhere close to what the Pronto can do. With the right skills, and some time with the "ProntoEdit" program available on Phillips website, this remote can be customized to the...

Pros: Highly programmable and fun to use
Cons: Just nitpicking things, none really

I have had my Pronto for several months now, and I love it more every day I own it! The programmability of the Pronto is unsurpassed, and there is virtually no component that this thing can't control. I have a TV, VCR, DVD, A/V Receiver, Fireplace, and...

Pros: Easy to read and program
Cons: Rare software glitch

I currently own 2 Pronto's and would definitely recommend its reliability and somewhat steep price range. The Pronto is very easy to use and programming is simple. Rather than go into the vast options of programming all I have to say is read the other...
