Bmpnyc, Remote Central makes the Pronto appear more complicated than it really is. The key to the Pronto is the programming software. Once downloaded into a WinPC you can attach the Pronto and commence to customize your remote. The software is quite easy to use. The difficult part is figuring out how you want to control your system. Count on spending a minimum of 2 hours to get it up and running. After you've used it awhile, you'll probably start further tweaking. I've been using the Pronto for nearly 3 years and I cannot imagine operating my HT without it.
Best Remote??
I would appreciate any suggestions as to which remote might work best in my system. I am a bit tired of using a different remote for each piece, and would like an all in one remote that can display and recreate all (or most) of the functions of each remote, and still not be too difficult to set up, if possible. It must have backlighting for the essential controls while watching DVD's. I use a Mac, if that matters. I would like to stay under $250, but will consider spending up to $500.
I am currently using:
* Musical Fidelity HT600 5 channel amp
* B&K AVP3090 pre-amp
* Sony DVP-9000ES SACD/DVD player
* B&W Nautilus 805 speakers w/ matching stands, * HTM-2 center, LM-1 surrounds
* Denon MD-1000 Minidisc recorder
*Musical Fidelity A3 Tuner
* Toshiba 40X81 Widescreen HDTV
* Monster HTS-3500 power center
Thanks to all for your help and advice.
