v1.3 Updates include: tabs/blades are now active, added custom sounds to suite my scuba theme. Plus many other enhancements. The following file is based on my SCUBA themed configuration that I use for my Marantz RC9500. However, all of the graphics have been completely redone to accommodate the Pronto TSU9600 graphics capabilities (when importing the pcf file into the Pronto Professional program all the graphics became very tiny). Because the remote uses a widescreen display, I decided to base the page navigation within each device on the XBOX 360 dashboard. You navigate the tabs (or also known as ‘blades’ for those familiar with the XBOX 360) by using the page up and down buttons located to the left of the screen or by tapping on the tabs themselves.

I am an avid SCUBA diver and so the background pictures are themed after this. However, with not too much difficulty, the pictures can be changed to whatever you wish with the accompanying Photoshop templates. As with my Marantz RC9500 and Pronto TSU7000 Scuba design, I have included all the original Adobe Photoshop templates for all buttons, text frames and dialog boxes so that you can easily create new ones based on this design. Please see the readme file for further information.

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.

Here is my German system layout. It's complex, and has been through numerous revisions. All PNG images used in the system are included in a separate archive.

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.

EFE - "easy for everyone". After downloading to your 9400 press "start", lay back and enjoy all the macros. Use the home key to reach the main page of selected device, press the arrow key to get to the macros for this device. With the small direct keys on the top of most pages you jump to other devices without using the macro. Pressing the book key (looks like two opened pages) you'll reach the amp if you want to select a source manually. From the amp page you reach the home page with the 5th hardkey (house symbol). All the buttons will remind you a little bit of the iPhone. They are designed with PaintShopPro and optimized for best readability and nice optics in crystal style. Each Device has its typical colour for best clarity. Hope you like it, its made with German Gruendlichkeit ;-)

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.

A first configuration for our new showroom.

I lost my config (don't ask) and needed something quick and functional before my wife called a divorce attorney. I couldn't find anything for the newer Samsung TV's that I liked so I borrowed some Samsung graphics and hacked a few panels together with clear buttons. I broke a lot of design rules but this may save your marriage, it did mine!

Basically a modified version of the stock philips files for use with the above equipment with the COX DVR menu buttons (ABC and such).
