Below is a picture of the TSU9200 including a chart detailing the specs on both the TSU9200 and TSU9400. Both the pic and chart were taken from the August 2007 issue of Electronic House.





Could not resist breaking out my scanner and posting a pic, crude as it may be. :-P Had to magnify the image to a large degree so that the labeling on all hard buttons could be made out. Unfortunately there was not a pic of the TSU9400. At least the specs for the 9400 were included in the chart.

7500 is 3.8" so we are facing a new little bit smaller screen. Maybe the one used in MX3000 from NEC.

9400 at 630g that's not right. It's almost the exact size of a 7500. A little bit taller, a little bit thinner. 19 hard buttons? 7500 has 17 + 3 on the side (not programable). So all the advances go for the non-IR functions. In my opinion if you are using for IR and regular RF no need for a upgrade. Only worth if you will you need the new two way features.

To go RF w/ a new 7500 you whould spend 60.00-150.00 in RFX6500. Now to go RF via wifi you will spend 400.00 at least.

From my point of view the 9200 is a downgrade comparing to the 3500. No touchscreen, no programable hard buttons on the side of the screen. Too expensive for a non-touchscreen remote, like all URC and harmony controls.

Philips in Belgium went wrong this time w/ the 9200. The philips other teams already have hard buttons remote like Vista remote, and it's Wifi! Going where the fight is a lot harder not a good idea at all. Look this ICON remote, US$129.00, US$75.00 at e-bay. Much more hard buttons, side screen keys and can control X10 direct:

For the first time the line that is going out will increase their used value. No replacment for the philips 3000/3500 and Marantz5400. I whould get one of this used instead of a new TSU9200.

Belgium team should did different. A smaller remote w/ the new color touchscreen availble now for smaller Palms and Cell phones, also keeping the old RF to lower the cost. Now there is no remote w/touchscreen in the 3500 range cost. They have the 9200 to fight w/ a lot of Hard buttons remote. The 9400 in the place of the 7500 w/ a expensive RF extender and the 9600 to go agaist the crestron gear.

Well Philips did wrong a lot of times before w/ the 9800i, the Tsi6400. TSU9200 will problably folow. This is like they say down here: do not change too hard in a wining team.

cool info, thanks lowpro

2-way digital RF on TSU9200.
That is it? Z-Wave og ZigBee ??????

I'd have to guess the 2-way digital RF is still referring to WiFi via the RFX9400, but who knows at this point.

I am not agree here. So long Philips clear spesif. Wi-Fi/RF for the TSU9400 so
they must be used the same therminology also for the TSU9200.
(Philips are official member of the ZigBee alliance).

The wording is certainly different. Even so, until I see the specs listed by a second source I'm not taking the specific wording used on the chart in the Electronic House magazine as gospel. Doesn't make sense to me for Philips to go to the expense of offering yet another extender specifically for use with the TSU9200, when the RFX9400 could do the job just as easily. We'll shall see soon enough I'd imagine. Will be cool to get official details from Philips when the time comes.

The EH description is more than likely accurate. :-)

So perhaps we will see a lower cost extender paired with the TSU9200 versus the more expensive RFX9400 extender. Now that would make sense to me. Very interesting indeed. :-P

I guess if the cheaper extender will work w/ the 9400 too.
