A complete MX-700 system layout with the following components.

Note that the Sherwood receiver lacks discrete video input codes. I've set up my own favorite channels for the time being within pages 2 and 3 of the SAT menu, but in the future I may move these to a FAV menu.

Complete system file, with macros, database ir codes and learned codes for the devices. Main page 1 is activity based, main page 2 is device based.

This is a system MXF containing the following equipment.

Discrete codes for all devices except Cable and XBOX - which don't exist.

Discretes for all but VCR and DSS, macros for specific activities.

This system includes some more advanced techniques using variables to simulate a 'navigate device' button.

I use three variables that stores a '3 bit' value when you select a source, and then with a press/hold on a 'system' button will send you to a different device for a quick setup, such as preamplifier sound field selections, a lighting page or whatever. Then pressing the [back] button on that page, you will be sent back to your previous device.

The concept is that you don't have to put a lighting page on all your devices, you can jump to that device page, and then go back to your previous device with one button press.

A complete system with a Home Theater Computer ("HTPC") which is used mainly for DVD playback (via WinDVD 5.0). Controls learned via a combination of Airboard infrared and iMon Multimedian infrared.

Time delay macros on device buttons to control sound mode and video switching. Separate devices created for shared components (DVD/CD, Processor/Radio). Setup autoplay for the "rental" slots on the DVD changer.

This configuration includes a number of pages to allow the remote to be used with multiple rooms. It features a common POWER page that combines the power functions for all devices in one location. It also features macros to toggle operating modes to and from watching the cable TV to the Roku Digital Media Server, the CD Player, or the Go Video DVD / VCR (no need to pwer the system down first and then bring back up in the correct mode). The DVD Macros change the inputs to the Denon receiver as well as configure the Sony HD television appropriately. The Power On Macros are will power up the correct components and set them to the correct operating mode. Select the function desired from the main (home) screen and the press the power button. All Power Off Macros return the system to watching Cable Television before powering off to ensure consistent operation.
