I've wanted to do a Futurama set-up since the RU890, and now I've finally done it! I'm surprised no one beat me to it. Hope you enjoy this colourful set up for the 31st century.

A modified version of Daniel Tonks' brilliant TSU3000 configuration for a Marantz RC5400. I also borrowed from Adam Holt's setup.

This PCF has alot of cable channels programmed under the "Surf" button on the cable page, as well as a dozen music channels for easy access. Below each system power button is a small power plug icon for turning the TV alone off while listening and not watching. Very useful for saving bulbs. There are instructions included as to how to program this remote to work with most systems, provided you're using a reciever as your switching unit. Thanks to everyone here for the graphics and especially Daniel for all his hard work. Most of what you see on this PCF is from his file.

This is an improved version of my first submission. I modified the clock size to make it larger and easier to read. All the buttons can be quickly accessed very easily. The macros have been improved, and there are some interesting bitmap/screen combinations.

There are three ways to use this remote; an ultra-simple home page, a more detailed Activities page, and a comprehensive Devices page. X-10 and Insteon lighting control are provided. Hard buttons are used throughout, including a universal home button and a "Set the mood" scene button available from anywhere. Also there is a hard-button rose for each device. Some of the Denon receiver functionality is not finished, largely because I don't understand some functions of the receiver. If someone would like to colaborate on finishing the 3806 design, please let me know. There are VCR pages but they are undefined at this time. This PCF is easy to navigate as key buttons are available from every screen. Discrete codes for most devices are included. This PCF borrows heavily from the graphics of Daniel Tonks, Steve Yon, and others. Thank you to them for making this possible.

This is a revision of my previously submitted file. It makes better use of graphic icons for buttons and cleans up some inconsistencies in my previous upload. The principal design objective here was to make the screen as legible as possible given the rather dim nature of the TSU3000. I have been testing various screen icons and layouts on several people and feel that older users find it easier to use this schema than the more elegant 3D designs. Another objective was to make use the hard buttons: the row of buttons under the screen is used exclusively for navigating between screens.

An updated activity based Tropical themed TSU7000 config. This update is to include a bunch of new AV equipment. Still a true one touch config that does not need to ask the user any questions to switch from 1 activity to another. Most pages are hidden to simply the user experience. So easy to use that vistors have zero problems with 1st usage. Feel free to try it and offer your feedback!

This is my first attempt at a PCF. I did a lot of testing and learned a lot from everyone else's designs, so thanks a ton for that. Clearly this design is heavily influenced by contest entry #3 so props to Brian for it. I have been lurking on Remote Central for the longest time and this is my way of saying thanks.

I have tried to do three things with this design. One, I found most designs to be visually overwhelming so I tried to keep this one as minimal as possible. There is a slight transparency to everything that allows a background image of my old Mitsubishi TV to come thru. Its supper subtle so, I didn't bother changing it when I upgraded my TV last year. Everything was created as squares and rectangles in Photoshop without any outerglows, embossing or drop shadows. I have included 2 PSD templates if anyone wants to modify or update an image.

Two, anyone can use it with no more than 15 seconds of tutoring. I have had the design evolve over the last 2 years and after countless guests and a live in girlfriend, I am very confident of the navigability and flow. I have also kept all of the back end config options of replaced remotes out of the design. I am the only person that... (more)

Plain and simple--it's (mainly) in black and white. Although the RU950/TSU3000 can display grayscales I was never really happy with them in point how they look on the RC itself (they DO look better in ProntoEdit, imho) and especially I wasn't happy with the visibility in a semi-dark or dark room (the backlighting doesn't help much, imho). So there are lots of prettier system files, but I did go primarily for usability. The system file is very dry and functional, no gimmicks whatsoever. The file itself is small too (about 100kb), so it will load fast to your Pronto, which is an advantage when playing around with updated versions. The majority of the pages will give you the possibilty of a direct jump to the other devices, which is another advantage in daily use. Please note that the labels are in semi German/English language as I am a German citizen. I don't think editing this should be a problem. So, It may not look as good as other but it's very functional.

I know that this is really closer to software than to an actual operating system, but I call this PCF SamOS. My approach was to use the hard buttons as a means for consistent navigation, making it easy for the user to get anywhere on the remote in no more than two button presses. I've created custom graphics to give each device its own personality and vibe. I've also made use of drop-down menus in a few sections. I hope you dig it.
