Intelligent Remote Control
The Intelligent Remote Control can be used for most devices that
understand infrared (IR) remote control signals. Its easy-to-use
touch screen with 256 colors and its intuitive interface makes it a
perfect remote control for every user.
The Remote Control (RC) is completely customizable. In the
memory of the Remote Control, RC codes are stored to activate
different brands for all kinds of video and audio devices. The
Remote Control is set up by default to operate with Philips or
Marantz devices. When you have other brands, you simply define
the brands of your devices when you use the Remote Control for
the first time.
The Remote Control can also learn RC codes from existing remote
controls. It is designed to add devices and functions, relabel
buttons, record macros and set timers. With the ProntoPro Edit
software you create your own control panels and define your
personal look.
If you want to operate devices from a distance or from an adjacent
room, you can use the Remote Control with radio frequency (RF)
signals and an RF Extender.

Before You Start
When you use the Remote Control for the first time, you will have to:
• install the battery pack;
• place the Remote Control in the docking station and charge the Remote
Control.
Warning Use the docking station only with the Philips NiMH rechargeable battery pack.
We strongly advise you not to plug other appliances (like mobile phones,
PDA’s, …) into the docking station. This causes damage to the connector and
the appliance.
Installing the Battery Pack
1 Press the latch on the battery cover and remove the battery cover from
the Remote Control.
2 Place the battery pack in the battery compartment.
3 Plug the cable of the battery pack in the connector as illustrated.

4 Place the battery cover back on.
Note Make sure the cable of the battery pack does not get stuck between the
mould and the battery cover.
After a few seconds, the Remote Control starts up automatically and an
Introduction screen appears. The Remote Control beeps twice to indicate that
it has finished starting up.
Because the battery pack of the Remote Control is not fully pre-charged, you
will have to charge it as described below.
Charging the Remote Control
For charging the Remote Control you use the docking station.
1 Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet and connect it to the docking
station.
2 Place the Remote Control in the docking station.
Make sure you hold the Remote
Control at an angle of 30° to 45°
when you place the it in the
docking station.
Charging starts immediately. The green charging LED on the front of the
docking station indicates charging takes place. When the Remote Control is
fully charged, the LED goes off.
Note Normal charging time is 2 to 3 hours, depending on the condition of the
battery pack.
You can operate the Remote Control while it is being charged.
The battery pack does not have to be entirely empty before recharging.
You can place the Remote Control in the docking station at any time.
When the battery pack is running low, the Low Battery icon flashes on the
Remote Control icon . Recharge the Remote Control as soon as possible to
ensure perfect performance.
Note The Remote Control retains all settings when the battery pack has run out.
You will only have to set the clock. See “Adjusting the Settings” on page 18.

Defining the Brands
of Your Devices
The Remote Control uses RC codes to activate devices. Because there are several
brands using specific RC codes, you have to define the brands of your devices.
On the Home panel you find buttons for most common video and audio devices.
When you select a device on the Home panel for the first time, you will notice that
the Remote Control is set up by default to operate Philips or Marantz devices. For
all devices other than Philips or Marantz, you will have to define the brand before
you can operate them with the Remote Control.
1 Select a device on the Home panel.
The following screen appears.
2 When the brand of your device is Philips or Marantz, click No.
The Remote Control switches to Use mode. To operate the device in Use
mode, see p. 15.
-or-
When you want to adjust the Remote
Control to operate with your brand,
click Yes.
The Remote Control switches to Brand mode.
Follow the instructions as described below.
There are three possible scenarios for defining
brands:
• You can select the brand and the code set
of your device.
• You can select the brand of your device and
search the code set.

Selecting Brands and Code Sets
A list of brands and their corresponding RC codes are stored in the Remote

brand uses the same RC codes, you might also have to select a set of RC codes for
your brand.
1 Tap Next.

device and a “virtual auto-zooming”
mini-keyboard appears.
2 Navigate through the list of brands using the scroll buttons and
