Hi guys,

I'm new here and still trying to get to grips with the TSU9600 i previously had 2 Marantz remotes before a RC5400, RC9500 Which I setup myself. However the 9600 seems to be a different ball game are there any programmers pro's or otherwise I could contact that might be willing to help me out either with tech support or programming?

Any and all help welcome

Thanks guys

You might start by going to the file area (link at top of this forum header) and look at some of the System Layout FIles. Download a few and open them in the ProntoEdit Pro and study the configuration details to get a feel for how to do what you need. Then you can ask more specific questions.

Here is some documentation that you will find useful. You should not use the 3.0 version editor because it was still in beta when Philips stopped development.

ProntoScript is not required and you can ignore it. Later, if you have some computer programming experience, ProntoScript can add a lot of bells and whistles to your configurations, but you can recreate the functionality of your original programs without ProntoScript. You can also ignore the Extenders (RFX9400 and RFX9600). Likewise, Reusable Macros can be ignored. As you advance, both ProntoScript and Reusable Macros can become very useful.

On the System Properties, select "No Network".

At this point, although the look and feel of the editor is different, your overall approach will be similar to your current approach -- all IR codes will be directly emitted by the remote.

In some cases the IR code library will be stale, but you'll find that most of the codes still work if you can figure out the nearest equivalent model. For example you might find a "Model 9" receiver listed in the database, but the current "Model 15" is not listed. In many cases you'll find that Volume codes for Model 9 and Model 15 are identical, but the command for HDMI7 did not exist when Model 9 was current. If you dig around, you can usually find these commands online. Or, you can learn the missing commands.

I also wanted to create something for my TSU9600, It's been sitting around for almost a year because I kept thinking of what I wanted to do with it.

As I could not think of a good front page, I think I am going to go with a Windows Media Center theme. Just need some docs on how to do minor animations.

Think of how you navigate Windows Media Center, use it with a mouse. if you click on a icon that is not in focus, it will slide over to focus before opening it. I wanted to do the same thing on my 9600 with a custom theme that I like (the color). I wanted to achieve the same look and feel.

I only have a few devices setup but, I wanted to allow it to be fairly expandable if I wanted to add a device. Media Center (handles Blu-ray and movies), Dish network, I have game consoles but, I would enter them under a "games" icon on the home page.

This is the start of my vision... as after a year+, I have not come up with anything else that I like or want.
