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).

v4.0 for PEP2. A complete redesign of my original TSU2000 CCF file to utilitize the additional space and additional hard buttons present on the TSU9400. Co-ordinated the color usage in the design with silver buttons representing buttons most used in an activity and blue buttons identifying settings control or buttons rarely used in that activity.

Includes My Database file. Also includes a bitmap gallery with a selection of customized buttons. Silver transport control buttons similar to the blue buttons present in the default gallery. Power buttons. Red exit button. 3-button bevels and some panel cluster items. Transport bevels and backgrounds. Green Vista-like progress bar. Some labels.

The system includes seperate radio and visual segments which suits me. Hard buttons have been programed to allow picture adjustment in all visual sources. I have also included an AV tools section which allows me to setup individual components. The system uses standard bitmaps provided by Philips and is a work in progress.

A complete system layout with a remote lockout screen system (also available in a separate download).

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.
