Philips Pronto TS1000 - Manual (Page 31)

B2−03 What are the differences between the various firmware & software versions?
For the most part, both software packages are identical. However, Philips and Marantz have
individually seen fit to include a number of proprietary features which can only be used on their
models.
All Philips Pronto Models:
•
Custom Beeps −− allow for the creation of songs and sound effects which can be run from timers,
during macros or just for fun.
•
Timers −− allow for the creation of timers which run a macro at a preconfigured time. This allows for
the automation of system functions which do not themselves have timed capabilities.
Philips Pronto TSU2000 & ProntoPro TSU6000:
•
Code Database −− includes a built−in preprogrammed code database licensed from UEI (makers of
the One For All line of remote controls). Note that this database is NOT included with the 2mb RU940
European Pronto.
All Marantz RC5000 Models:
•
Jumps in Macros −− any number of panel jumps can be placed in a macro sequence, allowing the
remote to display various screens while a macro is running. This can also be used for the creation of
crude animations.
•
Panel Memory −− users can configure any button to scroll to the last 5 previously accessed panels, or
forwards the same number again.
•
Custom Scroll Arrows −− the up/down scroll arrows can have any bitmap assigned to them. This can
also be used to effectively hide them, while still having the functionality available to users who know
they're there.
•
Disable Device & Macro Menus −− configurable from the remote, the Device and Macro Menus may
be disabled. Note that this does not allow for any additional user screen space.
•
Configure Left & Right Buttons in the Macro Menu −− instead of being configured solely for
macro functions, the left and right hard buttons can now be assigned to any function in the Macro
Menu, as they can be in the Device Menu.
Marantz RC5200 & RC9200:
•
Supports a larger editable screen −− these sport a compact static interface that allows for a 240x270
pixel editable screen region, instead of the normal 240x219.
Onkyo CHAD USR−5RF:
•
Functionally identical to Pronto TSU2000 −− but features a brand new user interface and RF
capabilities.
Yamaha RAV−2000:
•
Functionally identical to Pronto TSU2000 −− but features a brand new user interface.
B2−04 I'm told the software will not work with Windows XP. Is this true?
Although Marantz claims that Touch Screen Setup will not work with Microsoft Windows XP, that is
incorrect. They will not provide support for any issues encountered while running under Windows XP,
however the software should work without issue. This information applies to all recent software
versions describer earlier.
