Sony 4ES and Pronto? Will it work? (1 Viewer)

[Stephen Hopkins]

I've just ordered a Sony 4ES and Pronto w/ rechargeable battery and base station. Now that i'm seeing how much the 4ES remote system depends on OSD and possibly the remote's LCD, i'm wondering if i'll be able to program the important commands into my pronto? If i can get the pronto to do power, input selection, volume, decoding (DPL/NEO:6 modes), and Surround Back modes (Auto, Matrix, Off) then I would be happy.

Do any 4ES/Pronto owners know if this is possible?

Thanks

Hi Stephen, congrats on your purchase of the 4ES. Its a tremendous receiver and you'll be very happy. I do own the 4ES and the TSU2000 and you can program each and every function of the Sony remote into the Pronto. You will be amazed to the level of customization the pronto will afford you. You just have to be very patient initially with the pronto as it just doesn't seem as quick as a remote with hard buttons but give it a week or so and you'll love it.
BTW, I had sent you the "Flash" program, did you get it?

I did get the flash upgrade. One more question... where can I find the serial number list of units that need the firmware upgrade?

Thanks

Stephen, here are the serial #'s that need the upgrade.

S/N 8800001 through S/N 8805418

Mine's serial number does not look like this at all, Canadian models must have a different range of numbers.
