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.

Here is my first vision of the Philips Pronto TSU9400 remote control. The design is a combination of elements from the original Pronto Database and buttons/backgrounds created by myself. I hope you like it.

A complete system configuration with lots of discrete codes.

My first attempt at a Windows Phone 7 Metro themed remote. Not much animation yet.

My TSU9400 v1 design builds on Edward Lee’s iPhone interface and combines custom buttons with stock Pronto elements and components from Daniel Tonks, etal. The design does not break new ground; however, it does achieve my goal of minimizing the number of screen changes with minimum clutter. FYI... the interface may appear dark in the simulator; design elements were darkened to compensate for the 9400’s screen brightness.

Updated XCF file with complete codeset for the Denon AVR-5308, including XM, HD Radio, iPod, USB/Net, Zone 2, and Zone 3 control. Some simple ProntoScripts to control power (quick press, toggle device on/off, press & hold, turn on device and configure all inputs), as well as use of the scroll wheel to tune HD radio stations.

Most devices feature "hidden" pages containing the raw IR codes. Displayed pages link to these features. More recently, I've started using "proxy" devices, which make it easier for me to swap in new equipment without having to update multiple pages.

The graphics are based on a very old B&W configuration I developed for my original Pronto in the 90's. Sometime I need to update the bitmaps to take advantage of the color capabilities of the TSU9400.

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.

Still working on it - I converted some files to the TSU9400.

Design created using elements of others with some of my own as well. My goal was as simple and error free operation as possible. A key element was having so there was no guesswork for others to use, i.e. must meet WAF! I hid the configuration panels for the lighting and Sony VPL-VW50 projector (easily accessible via the initial home page) so others would not know it was there.

Some elements I like about it are:

• Clean look and operation.
• Each device page (i.e. DirecTV, HD-DVD, BluRay, XBox, etc.) have the logo of the device as the background.
• All devices are automated fully, whether turning on or off.
• A ton of discrete codes for pretty much everything.

Enjoy and if any questions let me know!

I use this system in my workout room, while on the treadmill or on the elliptical crosstrainer. In addition, being in my early fifties, I need reading glasses for any font smaller than 14. Therefore, the buttons are designed to be large and color-coded. This way they can be immediately found even when you are beating the hell out of yourself (in terms of cardio fitness), and even if you are far-sighted (in terms of focal length of your anterior eye chamber).
