In homes and offices the length and breadth of the country, he or she who commands the remote rules the world.

Although this may not be strictly true remote controls in the Pronto series by Philips do allow owners to exert more control, and from one location, over many features of a home or business and can lead to total system integration which begins to simplify life.

The Pronto TSU9400 remote has been designed for users that appreciate extended functionality, but, prefer the more traditional looks of less able remote controls. This Pronto model offers ease of use with QVGA touch screen and a simple to operate rotary scroll wheel, which gives full access to all multimedia options.

The TSU9200 Pronto remote was created to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and with the Philips motto of keeping it simple, this model presents four distinct, but, easy to understand and operate modes:

• Media Mode: computer music files are accessed via this option.
• Teletext is one of the options located via the More Mode.
• Channel icons highlight a users favoured radio stations and TV channels.
• The Home Mode makes things oh so simple with users able to opt for “watch TV or DVD” or even “listen to PC “.

The Pronto TSU9800 can be fixed on a table top or wall mounted, has a 6.4” VGA display and a touch screen control panel that is a breeze to operate. If you value being in control then this remote model has more options and can display a greater number of icons to leave users feeling as though they are in command at mission control.

Pronto remotes are compatible with all devices that utilise infrared remote control, which makes life simpler and easier and cuts down from many remote controls required to just one: The Pronto remote.

The Pronto series of remote controls, available from Rococo Systems and design, can put you in full control of TV, hi-fi, DVD, lighting, PC music files etc and will make you wonder how they ever managed their lives in the olden days before remotes were invented.
