Accusation? I sure hope not.
I did look at the date you joined. However, often see
that there are many others who join when they get their
first remote and then go silent for 3 years only to come
back with a post. That's why I gave you the benefit of
the doubt.
I am sorry not to be an avid one line posting member, I let the others be the judge!
In the mean time, Just to make things clear:
I started programming remotes when Marantz came up with the RC-2000 (made by Philips for them). I know and have work with ALL the Prontos remotes up to date.
I work with others remotes way more elaborate than even the TSU9600 (in fact Philips just stating to scratching the surface of those others remotes).
I agree that constructive criticism is good. I was just
not sure if you realized that Philips is a big company
and many different teams. The team that is doing this
new remote is most likely not the team we deal with in
this forum. This team hails from the Pronto Research
group and has a sub domain "pronto.philips.com"
I am still not sure why you get so defensive about Philips and their remote business. The complain is directed at Philips inability to merge their departments to work as "TEAM" (no pun intended) and bring well deserve features in their STU9600 remote. In fact, this feature was mentioned in the latest CEDIA seminar, and in the TSU9600 training as the next add on. If in doubt, Just search this forum! You must know how many members are asking for MCE 2-way control.
If we don't bring these issues up, they will get way like they did with the now demised Philips iPronto TSi6400 promises.
No harm, no foul.
NONE TAKEN!
