Defining the Brand for a Device
Pronto contains a huge list of brands and their according IR codes in its database.
Pronto uses these IR codes to control devices. Because there are several brands
using specific IR codes, you have to define the brands and the corresponding code
sets for each device. You can either have Pronto autosearch the brand or select it
yourself. If a device's brand contains more than one IR code set, you also have to
select it.
On the Device Overview you find buttons for the most common video and audio
devices. Pronto is set by default to operate Philips and Marantz devices. For all
devices other than Philips or Marantz, you first have to define the brand before you
can operate them with Pronto.
