This is my conceptual prototype for an MX-1000 layout with a sea motif. Your buttons are fish, crabs, lobsters, shells, and black pearls (plus a "water surface" button.) No functions are attached to the buttons, since I don't actually own an MX-1000. Includes .BTN and .BMP files plus the button.ini file. See the readme.txt file for installation instructions. I've set up the interface for two devices. In older MDL format.

If you are setting up a new MX1000 and you have been reading this website you'll know that it can be time consuming to set it up. If any of your equipment matches mine, starting with this will save you hours of setup time!

I'm doing this only because Gregorius pleaded with MX-1000 users! My setup may be uncommon to most of you. I use an HTPC (Home Theatre PC) as the base for my system.

Complete system for my setup. All button design credit goes to Daniel Tonks, I did nothing creative here.

This is my simple, yet functional layout file for the Home Theater Master MX-1000. Many of the buttons have been "borrowed" from Daniel's Configuration with a few custom ones. In most cases, I used the "PREV CH" hard button on the remote as a "Pause" (for the ReplayTV, DVD, and CD, and MP3 players). I found this was much more useful as a hard button.

I set up my system for 6 devices. It's a much simpler button layout, but I used Daniel Tonks' buttons that are available here (thus you'll also need to download and install the button.ini and BTN files from his configuration). Every Command has been learned, and I have included the .LDT file.

Now in .MX format. This is my complete layout for the Home Theater Master MX-1000, featuring a totally original user interface. Contains as many new buttons as possible including main menu, transport, keypad, toggle and others. The buttons are designed for maximum visibility with white text over a black background and are sized so that one large and one small line of text can be used. This file is designed for use with the devices listed below and includes learned data, plus all of my buttons in both .BTN and .BMP format.

Here is my setup for the MX-1000. Many of the buttons were "borrowed" from this forum. My goal was to make it simple. I did not use a main1 page. I just modified the main, added some channel macros, and lighting control. Then took out everything else.

A "single touch" layout. Each of the main page buttons uses discrete codes to manage power, input, initial volume, and surround modes for the source selected. There are a few new buttons in my "more buttons" layer, but I must thank all you other contributors for most of my buttons. Even if the components don't exactly match yours, use the button layout as a template for learning your IR codes into, then do your own macros. Have fun!

This is a new, prettier, more fine-tuned version of the original file I posted. Now all 7 components have custom logos (6 borrowed from this site, 1 self-made). I also contributed 12 custom logos of my own (2 DSS logos, cartoon network, HBO, Showtime, CNBC, Vivid, Disney, ESPN, TechTV, Sci-Fi, E!). Did not edit the *Main* page, all editing was done on Main1 so all labels (on the left) are intact. Definitely worth a look for DSS users, and people interested in custom network logos.
