A2−03 How much memory do I really need?

You'd be surprised at how much can be packed into the 1 megabyte Pronto, which has 380kb of free space. Many users have incorporated complete lists for their 300 and 400 disc CD or DVD jukeboxes, favorite channel lists with station icons, games, calendars and more. But a small minority of owners, who may have multiple jukeboxes, a huge home theater system or just a penchant for huge bitmaps, have run out of room. For them, the 960kb of user space offered with the Pronto TSU2000 or 1404kb with the Marantz RC5000i is a must − but the majority of users simply won't have any use for that much memory.

The Philips ProntoPro (6144kb) and Marantz RC9200 (6900kb) have quite a bit more "usable" memory than even the TSU2000 & RC5000i, despite the greater amount of space occupied by color bitmaps.

A2−04 What processor does the Pronto use?

All black and white models use the 16MHz Motorola Dragonball MC68328, which supports 4−grayshade displays and serial communications.

All color models use the 33MHz Motorola Dragonball MC68VZ328 "VZ" processor, which supports 256−color displays and serial communications.

A2−05 How large is the remote?

All models can be easily held with one hand. Black and white remotes have the approximate dimensions (WxHxD) of 3.6"x5.4"x1.5" and weigh about 9.5 ounces with batteries. The Yamaha RAV−2000 is only slightly larger at 3.7"x5.4"x1.5".

The color ProntoPro has a slightly larger footprint at 3.6"x5.5"x1.3" and weighs in at 9.0oz with batteries. The Marantz RC5200 and RC9200 are again slightly larger, at 3.5"x5.9"x1.5" and 9.5oz.

A2−06 How big is the screen?

The screen resolution on all models is 240 x 320 pixels, however some of that resolution is used by the user interface. The editable screen area for everything but the Marantz RC5200 and RC9200 is 240 x
