A sample Home Theater Master MX-3000 RCC system confgiration file for MX-3000 Editor.

Work in progrss for sure (only had the MX3000 for a couple weeks, had to take a day of work when I picked it up :)... but got some ideas from RCCs already posted and would like to share!

The RC is based upon both action (Watch, Listen) and device principles (DVD, CD,…). It uses MX-3000 variables where discrete on & off codes are not available and can switch from the current device to any other device from any page.

What makes it unique? I don’t know… It appeals to me and actually manages to do the things I want it to do in a way which my family can understand and operate.

This is my system file for the MX3000, made up of a combination of access through devices and actions such as "Watch DVD" or "Listen to CDs". The graphics were either "stolen" from other people (especially from the Pronto Files - thx Daniel) or generated by me using Paint Shop Pro.

A system setup file for a rather elaborate and interesting demo room at a retail store. Used digital pictures of the actual theatre itself to create the main menu structure. Worth a look at least!

Second Place Winner!
This template was specifically designed to be easy to use while keeping an intuitive, easy to understand layout. The most common functions are on the main page and the template will walk you to the next step. The design can be easily reconfigured to suit just about anyone's equipment.

It also features a battery meter on every source page with charging confirmation and shortcuts to the most commonly used pages for each device. All device pages have a direct shortcut to the source select page, this keeps almost every page only two button pushes away.

If you have a first generation MX3000 with 32MB of memory, there should be plenty of memory space on the remote for Bracken's DMX3000 (DVD changer software) and over 400 DVD covers.

Just put together a RCF file for my system. Use of variables for the Motorola cable box and JVC DVD Changer to keep track of ON/OFF since both lack discrete ON/OFF. Manual toggles included on page 2 of main menu when out of sync. Since this is my first programing using this particular remote, some sections are not exactly perfect. Let me know what you think.

What I believe makes this program unique is the ability to combine:

The ability to combine animated gifs (both funny and serious)

Sounds from well known super-stars and sounds created for travels and family members: I have a wav file (voice of Will Smith from one of his movies). The "What would you like to do" sound on the welcome screen is the voice of a lady who was sitting next to me on the train as I was travelling into New York City one morning. I wanted to use a soft female voice to welcome guests to the MX-3000. The sounds behind the Music and Guess is the voice of a family member. I wanted to create something funny.

Ability to create unique designs using Photoshop, ImageReady and other graphic software. The To Do background was drawn free hand in Photoshop and ImageReady.

Using icons of well known Cable/Satellite programs to help direct access to those channels

Ability to separate buttons and sections (i.e. buttons under Main section and buttons under Devices section), helping to either prevent or allow access to the buttons

Ability to create hidden buttons and generate macros, animated gifs and sounds within those hidden buttons (there's one hidden... (more)

A complete system setup for the following devices.
