MAX-AVM User-Interface
Overview
The MAX user-interface (UI) allows you to locate, select and control the playback of the music and
movies stored on the MMS server. This is the onboard UI that is presented via the display device(s)
connected to the MAX system.
The onboard UI described here does not allow access to all of the functions and features of the MAX
system. By design, many of the advanced functions of the server are accessible through the WinMAX
software program, but not via the MAX UI. Also, note that depending on which version of the AVM
firmware you are using, the screens represented here may look slightly different, but the functionality
should be basically the same. For example, while you can access custom playlists through the MAX UI,
you can only create and save playlists in WinMAX. Similarly, parental control, recording, user data and
all system-level control and monitoring is handled exclusively through the WinMAX program.
Refer to the WinMAX MMS Server Control Software Instruction Manual (available online at
www.amx.com) for details on using WinMAX to access all of functionality of the MMS server.
Start Screen
Upon powering up the MAX-AVM module, the Start screen (FIG. 13) is displayed, presenting three
initial navigation options: MUSIC, MOVIES and PLAYLISTS. Use these options to select the type of
media that you want to access (music, movies, or custom playlists which may contain music, movies or
both).
