You virtually need a course to program this thing. I do not recommend it for anyone. I tried to figure the thing out for about two hours with little progress. It went back the same day. I bought the thing to make life a little easier and instead I paid premium money for a headache.

I had the previous version of this, which I loved. It finally died after 5 years of hard service and I replaced it with the 9400. Sure, there are cheaper remotes and a few more expensive, but NONE I have found can do so much. We have a VERY complex system in our home with 4 displays, multiple audio and video sources, and complex switching. The almost infinite programming capabilities that this remote has handles them all with ease so even the totally tech ignorant can operate the system easily.
Be aware this remote takes time to set up and a reasonable level of tech savvy to program so you will need to be able to handle these tasks to set it up but once set up, anyone can operate any system easily using the programmed remote.
One of the two best electronic products I have owned (the other is my iPod touch) – and being a gadget freak I have owned many!

If you are tired of multiple controls, this is worth every penny. I have configured the PRONTO for our TV, DVR, stereo, CDs, DVD player, DirecTV. Programming can be complicated but if you follow the directions, you can make your entertainment life easier.

I upgraded to the TSU-9400 from an older Pronto. What an improvement. The addition of wireless makes all the difference. I control my a plasma tv, surround sound receiver, CD player, CD recorder, DVD juke box and Mac Mini/Squeezebox music server. I purchased ProntoSqueeze to control the music server via wireless and nolonger use another laptop for that purpose.
The build quality is great, programming is fairly easy once you get started. The response time is very fast and the wireless signal better than any of my laptops.
It is a blast to own and use!

1. User guide didn’t match the software for Pronto Edit. I downloaded the latest version of pronto edit from the website because the software that came with the disk was an older version. The software was greta, but some aspects of the software were hard to learn. I couldn’t find the latest manual to support the latest software but 99% of what I needed to know was in the older user’s guide. For the parts I couldn’t figure out on my own, I called customer support and they were attentive and able to help resolve some of those issues.
2. Apple TV. When using my apple TV, the remote learns the codes as expected, but I haven’t figured out how to scroll down with it. With an extensive library, it is very painstaking to keep hitting the button because it only scrolls one at a time. I might figure it out later, but as for now I keep the Apple TV remote handy.
3. Channel Macros. For some reason, when I am using my cable box, if the last button I touched on the Pronto was a button that corresponds to any device other than the cable box the macro doesn’t work. I have to press something like channel up or channel down, and then the channel button. I’m in Brazil, so it might have something to do with the cable box down here, or the remote. . . not really sure but I am still working the bugs out.
4. It takes a while to set up, but well worth it. On a technology knowledge scale from 1 to 10, I would say that I am a 5. Definately not the smartest guy, but able to learn. If you are willing to take the time and play around with it, buy it. Don’t expect to have it ready to go within 1 hour of taking it out of the box. There are alot of programs you can copy from [. . . ] or other places to make it a little easier.
5. I upgraded from an older version because the older version had a serial-port -vs- USB. If considering this remote vs an older version, Take a look at your computer first to see what kind of capabilities/ports it has.
6. I rated a 4 instead of a 5 just because it can be difficult to learn. For the capabilities/appearance I would rate it about 4. 9. . . For user freindliness of learning. . . about a 3.
