Review: | I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE PRONTO SINCE IT BECAME AVAILABLE. I HAVE INSTALLED THEM IN HOME THEATERS RANGING IN PRICE FROM $2000.00 TO $50,000.00. THIS IS BY FAR THE ONLY UNIVERSAL REMOTE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THAT COMBINES THE EASE OF MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL WITH A LIVABLE PRICE POINT. THE PRONTO COSTS NO MORE THAN A GOOD DVD PLAYER OR ANY OTHER QUALITY COMPONENT. I HAVE HAD CLIENTS TELL ME THAT THEY WOULD NEVER SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY ON A REMOTE CONTROL. SIX MONTHS LATER THEY CALL ME BEGGING FOR A SOLUTION TO THERE USER INTERFACE PROBLEMS. AT THIS TIME I SHOW THEM A $5000.00 PANJA VIEWPOINT SYSTEM. THEY EITHER BUY THAT OR ASK IMMEDIATELY ABOUT THE REMOTE I TOLD THEM THEY NEEDED SIX MONTHS EARLIER. I HAVE NO DOUBT THE PRONTO HAS INCREASED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IN THE CUSTOM INSTALLATION FIELD ACROSS THE BOARD. WHEN YOU COMBINE THE FACTS THAT THE REMOTE IS COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZABLE, THROUGH THE SOFTWARE PACKAGE,THAT IT CAN BE EASILY USED BY ANYONE, AND THAT IT WORKS REALLY WELL, THERE JUST IS NOTHING ELSE AS GOOD ON THE MARKET. THIS IS SIMPLY THE BEST, MOST FORWARD THINKING PRODUCT, ON THE MARKET TODAY. I HAVE DEALT WITH MOST OF THE DOWNFALLS OF THE PRONTO (NOT MANY, AND MOSTLY FIRMWARE RELATED), AND BELIEVE THEY ARE INCONSIQUENTIAL IN THE BIG PICTURE. |

Review: | It truly has replaced all of my remotes. They have been put away, never to be used again. It has simplified the entire process of watching a DVD, recording a movie, playing Cds, etc., for both myself as well as my wife. She no longer has to get me involved to deal with the home entertainment system. The ProntoEdit software is adequate -- I have spent many, many hours programming. I was able to build an activity-based interface that handled all of my power on/off, input switching, etc. I also programmed every button/function for every remote I had (6 in total) just in case I forgot to cover something in the activities. |
