v3.1 ProntoGen is a cataloger for CDs/DVDs complete with cover art, artists, titles and tracks. Information can be created manually or from CDDB. Cover art images can be also be downloaded automatically from the Internet. ProntoGen can create a configuration file for CD/DVD changers and programmable remote controls which lets selecting any album based on alphabetically sorted artists or titles. Categories can be defined to group albums. Tracks can be selected directly by name after a title is selected.

v0.3 Tired of being unable to load PCF files not created by your remote’s particular software without first manually editing the comment section? PCF Switcher to the rescue! In the tradition of Pronto.ini Wizard and CCF Picker, this utility is designed to make transporting PCF files between the Philips ProntoEdit NG and Marantz Wizz.it packages easier, by automatically editing any PCF’s comment section with the correct version number for your software. In addition, PCF Switcher will also make a minor change to the XML code (if necessary) so that objects display correctly in Marantz Wizz.it.

This program (Excel + Photoshop + "Media Info Exporter" plug ins of Windows Media Player) modify your original PCF file to add the cover of your CDs on IR command to select it under mce (you can chose your music even if you television is off). If you have a CD changer, you can change it to use your own command (not very complicated but you must understand how it works.) Join with the program a template PCF file (you can modify it to add your own configuration) and 2 samples (about 100 CD cover included).

When you try to delete a button, you may receive a message from PENG saying that there are references to this button. We all know that it is a tedious job to locate these references, as PENG doesn't give you any hint. So, I have written a program that imports a PCF file and displays all items similar to PENG. In addition to that, you can view pages similar to PENG's emulator. In this view just right-click any button to search for references. Includes complete documentation in Word format. This version corrects several setup issues and works with TSU7000 files.

I threw this utility together to generate Pronto codes from the IR codes that Denon publishes on their website. I suspect that it will work with any Sharp coding, although I haven't tried it. There are codes in the Denon docs that aren't available on the remote, so this opens up some new options. To use it, enter the bit stream into the 4 input boxes. They are (from left to right) System Address (C1-C5), Data (c6-C11), Extension(C12, C13), and Data Construction (C14, C15), as described in the Denon documents. Then click Calculate (or press the enter key). The Pronto code will be shown in the lower window. It is also automatically copied to the clipboard so you can quickly paste it into the Pronto editor. Note: you should always set C15, and C15 to '00'.

Patch your remote editing software to increase stability. Works for both the Philips and Marantz legacy and Next Generation CCF/PCF editors. See the readme file for further details.
