MAX-AVP Audio/Video Player
Media Playback
When a DVD (or CD) is inserted into the local drive, the AVP works like a stand-alone DVD player. It displays the DVD menu on the video output device. There are two ways to control the AVP:
Use the handheld IR Remote Control (included) to navigate the MAX User Interface and DVD menus.
Refer to the MAX-AVP Remote Controller section on page 17 for details on the remote controller (including IR Code descriptions).
Refer to the MAX-AVP User Interface section on page 21 for instructions on using the MAX-AVP UI.
Use the WinMAX software to control the AVP and manage content (DVDs/CDs) on the MAX-HT server. Refer to the WinMAX Instruction Manual for details.
The IR Remote Control also allows you to select which video source to view (either the AVP’s DVD- ROM or server content).
Playback from the AVP’s local DVD drive overrides playback of content from the MAX-HT server: if you are playing content from a server, and then insert a DVD or CD into the AVP, the media being received from the server will be interrupted, and the DVD or CD will load and play.
Media Playback via WinMAX
WinMAX Server Control Software is a Windows®-based application provided by AMX to enable control of MAX servers from any Windows PC. The PC must be connected to the MAX Server directly or via a network. Multiple PCs running WinMAX may control the Server simultaneously.
WinMAX is available for download via the Dealers area of the www.amx.com website (Tech Center > Application Files).
To play a DVD located on the MAX-HT Server: In WinMAX, open the Movies tab. Select the Output Zone that is associated with the AVP that you will use for display, then select a DVD title, and click the Play button.
To play a CD located on the MAX-HT Server: In WinMAX, open the Music tab. Select the Output Zone that is associated with the AVP that you will use for playback. Then, select a CD title, and click the Play button.
Upgrading the AVP’s Firmware
The "bilbo.ISO" file is a CD-Image file which can be opened most CD burning applications and then used to reproduce content onto a new disc. The following items are required to properly create a MAX- AVP firmware update CD:
CD Burner
CD burning application
burnable media (CD-R/CD-RW)
The following procedures must be followed when updating on-board firmware:
1.Download the current MAX-AVP firmware ISO file from the Firmware Files section of the amx.com Tech Center to a local drive.
2.Load your blank media into your CD burner drive and launch your media burning application.
