Want to run TV (sony). DVD (Marantz) VCR ( Panasonic) and a Denon Mini cd system.

Want to get a single remote. Seen argos do a Phillips for around £40.00 that looks good.

Questions!! Can these things do

1. Can they control "fast tele text"
2. Can they control "Video plus"
3. basic DVD control.
4. No mention of Marantz in guide book?? But these marantz are phillips anyway.

Dont need flashing lights etc. Just easy set up and user friendly

Cheers

I have a pronto which I love. To make the best of it you do need to put some time into programming on the PC ;)

My Dad has one of these which he likes which are are currently on special offer @ Maplins

I'm with gregh - the kameleon is the dogs danglies :)

A doddle to set-up, either from a code (depending on kit involved) or by learning from another remote. You can even download codes for new stuff from the Internet.

But the best bit is the movement sensitive backlight - as you pick it up it comes alive ;)

Downside is that it eats batteries for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
