Defining the Brand for a Device

ProntoPro NG contains a huge list of brands and their corresponding IR codes in its database. ProntoPro NG uses these IR codes to control devices. Because there are several brands using specific IR codes, you have to define the brands and the corresponding code sets for each device. You can either have ProntoPro NG autosearch the brand or select it yourself. If a device’s brand contains more than one IR code set, you also have to select it.

On the Device Overview you find buttons for the most common video and audio devices. ProntoPro NG is set by default to operate Philips and Marantz devices. For all devices other than Philips or Marantz, you first have to define the brand before you can operate them with ProntoPro NG.
