    Marantz Version of ProntoPro

    Table of Contents

     

    Marantz's answer to the ProntoPro (though, of course, it is still made by Philips). It will feature a 256-color screen, 8 megabytes of memory, plus an optional RF basestation…  Remote Central

    "It will not include a preprogrammed code database, however I note from the photograph (and from earlier rumors) that much more of the screen real estate is available for user interfaces. Also of equal importance, I can count 15 hard buttons including volume, channel, a 4-way menu rocker ("OK" and "Menu" are separate buttons), two "on-screen labeled" buttons, plus a handy hard button for "Home". "

    "Secondly, Marantz will be releasing a new 2 megabytes black and white remote based on the same physical design of the RC9200 – called the RC5200. It'll also include the larger user editable area and same complement of extra hard buttons, but will not include RF capabilities. No information was provided on pricing, but both will be released sometime during 2002. "

    *Update*
    UK Launch date expected to be November/December

    Prices expected to be
    RC9200 – £700
    RC5200 – £350 – £400
