Unofficial Philips Pronto & Marantz RC5000 FAQ

Section A4: Hardware Questions:

Using the Remote

A4−01 Why does the backlight stay on as long as the LCD does, even though it's only set for half the
time?

This tip only applies to remotes manufacturered before January 2000:

This is normal. If the backlight is configured to be on all the time, or the light sensor setting tells the
remote that it should be on, it will remain on for as long as the LCD does. For instance:

Sensor: ||||||−−−−−−

Level: −−−−−−−−−−−|

LCD: 30 Seconds

Light: 15 Seconds

Will mean that the light ALWAYS come on automatically and shall remain on for as long as the LCD
does, 30 seconds. A setting of:

Sensor: ||||||−−−−−−

Level: |−−−−−−−−−−−

LCD: 30 Seconds

Light: 15 Seconds

Means that the light will NEVER come on automatically −− only when the backlight button is pushed.
When that happens the backlight will remain on for 15 seconds and the LCD will stay active for 30. If
your remote has a light sensor, a setting of:

Sensor: |||−−−−−−−−−

Level: −−−−−−−|−−−−

LCD: 60 Seconds

Light: 5 Seconds

Will mean that the light is currently coming on automatically and will remain on for 60 seconds. If
ambient light levels increase, the backlight will no longer come on automatically. When manually
enabled it will only remain on for 5 seconds.

The button backlight operates the same as the LCD backlight.

A4−02 I've got a TSU2000. Why does my TV keep turning off?

When using the TSU2000's built−in database, the default configuration assigns certain functions to
automatically transmit each time the device is selected. For some devices this is merely an "input"
command, but in the case of the TV template it sends the "power" code. While it's possible to not send
the command while switching from one device to another with the Device Menu (by holding down the
left or right hard button as you select the device), that can't be done from the Home Menu.

There are two ways to fix this. On the basic remote, without ProntoEdit:
