Note on the Olive Opus, the commands were learned but it is not a solid operating level yet, for some unknown reason. The EAD includes all the setup pages and functionality from the original marantz remote.

An original configuration with ProntoScript, rotary wheel control and a splash screen. Not complete but I will make the rest later...

I have made it possible for you to always have the original remote in-hand! Includes XBMC Navi X. Check it out!

A complete home theater system setup. Let's control!

My user interface is called Simplicity, and it provides easy control over environment lighting through the Pronto’s hard buttons – which are also used to provide easy channel time shifting with only three keys, Pause, Play and Stop (the DVR is not directly accessible and is only used for time shifting). The Canal Satellite layout is full of favorite channels sorted by genre. Graphics are particularly easy to understand.

Advanced macros will turn on necessary devices (plasma TV, DVD, amplifier, etc.) and turn off unused ones (DVR, etc.) whenever a video source is selected, while selecting audio will turn off video devices (DVR, etc.) and power the amplifier.

This is a work in progress that incorporates some pictures I found online and I started messing with Paint Shop Pro for labeling. I will be getting the RFX9600 so some of the components will change to RS232 but this is what I have for now.

FOURTH RUNNER UP! This .XCF is designed to be a file that would be delivered to an end user. It is all activity based with only the buttons and functions available that are required for using the system.

It controls a simple 2 zone audio system and is an actual working file. All control of the video display is performed by macros, there is no need for a receiver or TV control page as their functions are accessed by punch through commands or the macros themselves. All items not considered critical to the daily use of the system have been hidden.

It uses the serial extender and is operating both the Lutron Radio Ra system and an Escient fireball. The Escient unit is duplicated in order to allow operation in 2 different zones with different macros and volume codes for each zone. When in the Fireball interface, pressing menu takes you to a page using the standard video interface and IR commands for advanced functions such as recording, random play modes, setup, options and more as those functions are not available in the pre written interface. All power is switched on using the activity macros. The power button on the remote accesses a power page... (more)

Recently updated. A full system configuration for Australian TV. Got a few more background pictures and a nicer transport layout.

Changing my old Pronto RU990 to the TSU9400 with its more numerous hard buttons allowed me remove the tabs on each page, and finally make full use of the screen. In this I've made sure all my components' functions fit on 1 page, (with a seperate page for each zone on my AV Amplifier), whilst keeping the button sizes larger and more attractive than I've used before. I've kept the system area as small as is practical.

I've also made use of Pronto scripts to cater for short/long presses of the power button (on/off) and page scrolling of the Sky and Freeview TV guides using the rotary wheel. Every device is accessible from the home page, and I've PIN protected power to the projector (The PIN is 5555 on this version). You'll find every IR code you can think of for each of the devices, including the commands used in all 4 zones for the Denon AV amplifier. Hope it's useful.

The design of this system is around users who are not familure with the cinema system set-up and users good interface design and walkthroughs to ensure a new user can use the system without prior training. This files also deals with the fact that Toshiba TV's do not have any descrete codes AV input select, etc: There are useful help screens links on pages where it is required in the event the system does not do as required due to the lack of the descrete codes.

There is the added bonus of how to get TiVo to work if it is recording, which as TiVo users in the UK will know it only comes with one built in Tuner and if your TV does not have Freeview built in this system shows you how it can be configured with additional freeview box and TV and work seemlessly, again with the restraint of the Toshiba TV. The main thing is that this is designed for a less is more approach with nearly all techy stuff hidden away, so if you are after a design which is for a techy to administer there system this is not for you. If you are after a system which your wife, girlfriend, family or friends staying over can use without the need for long explainations or written instructions.
