Overview

Anthem Electronics has been manufacturing high-quality, high-end audio equipment for over a decade. In that time, Anthem has built an enviable reputation for products that can recreate the passion a music lover experiences when attending a live musical performance, or the thrilling sound a movie buff experiences in the very best movie theaters. Anthem equipment allows audiophiles to almost “be there” each and every time they sit and enjoy music or home theater in the comfort of their home. Anthem provides all this with the highest level of craftsmanship, sophisticated circuit designs, superior quality parts and materials, modern intuitive ergonomics, and stylish industrial design.

Although Anthem products sound great “right out of the carton”, they will sound even better after they are thermally stabilized. We therefore recommend that you operate this product for a period of time before doing any critical listening.

The TLP 1 is a state-of-the-art stereo preamplifier with built-in FM • AM Tuner, Record output with independent input selection, and built-in crossover with high-pass and low-pass outputs.

MAKING YOUR OWN CCF?

If you are having difficulty teaching the Pronto certain commands, the following will be of help to you. Pronto adds a stop command to any code it learns, and makes some codes unusable for the TLP 1. We have created specially made IR codes in .ird format that can be loaded through a program called IRDatabase. Besides saving the trouble of teaching the codes one by one, these codes use less memory and react more quickly than taught codes. Using the database with ProntoEdit is much simpler than it may seem at first.

Download the complete TLP 1 IRD Database here:

icon REMOTE CONTROL - TLP1 IRD

To open the .ird file, you will need to download and install IRDatabase from www.remotecentral.com/files/

HOW TO USE IT:

Install irdatabase.exe
Run IRDatabase
Click on File in top left corner
Click Import Device and select ANTHEM TLP1.ird from wherever you saved it
The TLP 1 will be listed along the left side under Preamp
Select TLP 1 and double-click on the desired button. All the stats will appear, including Hex code.

Open Pronto Edit to enter the codes into your Pronto. You can pull the codes from the database by double-clicking on the desired button in your .ccf file. When the "Properties" panel appears, click on "IR DB", and all the TLP 1 codes will be available under "Preamp". Since Vol+ and Vol- are the buttons most often needed, they are listed here so you don't have to install this program (you can copy straight from this page and paste onto ProntoEdit):
