Playing Movies
There are two simple steps involved to playback movies from the MAX library:
1.
Select a playback zone - If you have multiple playback zones for audio/video, you should first
select which zone(s) you want your movie to played in. See the Playback Zone Selection
section below for details.
2.
Select movie for playback - Once you have specified the zone(s) that you want to play your
movie in, you can select the movie you want to play.
Use the Search functions to select an individual chapter, an entire DVD or a custom playlist for
playback. See the Selecting and Playing Back Movies section on page 20 for details.
Playback Zone Selection
Before you begin selecting a movie for playback, you should first select the desired output zone.
This selection determines which of the available A/V outputs will broadcast the movie you select.
The number of zones available to select from depends on the amount of A/V outputs that exist in
your MAX system. Click the down-arrow next to the Zone field (lower-left corner of the window)
and select the desired output zone (FIG. 20).
Selecting and Playing Back Movies
There are several different approaches to playing back movies from the movie library on the MAX
server. You can select to play an entire DVD, an individual chapter from any DVD, or you can load
a custom playlist containing any number of chapters from any DVDs in the collection.
The first step in playing back a movie is to select the DVD, chapter or playlist that you want to play
back. Use the Search For field at the top of the Movies tab to perform a search, and once you have
located and selected the desired DVD or chapter(s), use the Transport Control Bar to initiate and
control playback, as described in the following sections.
