    MX500 VS Pronto TSU3000 W/ 1066?

    My 1066/1075 will be here on Monday, & I'm going crazy trying to decide on a remote. I had a Yamaha RAV2000 (pronto TSU2000 clone) which I was not crazy about. I hear nothing but praise for the MX-500, & it's CHEAP! The new Pronto TSU3000 is in stock at Amazon for $245 shipped, which is a surprisingly LOW price for a new Pronto. I am intrigued by the support I'm seeing from Rotel & others with the Pronto/Rotel interface. Any opinions on living with either of these? THANKS!

    I've got both a 1066 and an mx500. I think the mx500 is a great remote. I trained it from the rotel remote and I've not touched the rotel one since. I wouldn't mind borrowing a pronto so I can learn some of the discrete codes from rotel's own ccf, but none of them are really important (to me anyways), I just kinda want them there for completeness.

    a year after I got mine, I bought one for my dad and he think's it's great too.

      Cool, I am going to get one then. If I get it at the same time, my Wife will think it came with it, LOL.

        1066 REMOTE
        by garethk
        Hi all

        Has anyone noticed how slow the 1066 remote is when going back one chapter on a CD or DVD, compared to the DVD remote.
        If I try and go back more than one chapter it takes forever. I have the 969 remote... i think.

        Does anyone know a fix for this.

        Pronto TSU3000 - Experiences?
        by Aussie Geoff
        Hi,

        I'm looking to move into the Pronto world and will be buying a unit shipped to Australia (as the Aussie prices are silly).

        I see the TSU3000 is out and selling (some are offering at US$239). I saw some early reports that talked about buggy software and said "wait".
