Welcome
With the Re:source Multimedia module,
we have opened up completely now
horizons for the Revox system.
Read on, if you want to find out which
ones.
The Program Director
As the name suggests, you won't just
have access to a wealth of storage
media. With Internet Radio, you will also
have access to the whole world. The
days are gone when Program directors
decided what you could listen to and
then subjected you to intrusive
advertising and traffic reports as well.
Now, you are your own Program
director. You can select your own music
genre of choice and listen to broadcasts
at a time that suits you.
The Language Trainer
Or how would it be if, just ahead of your
holiday, you could listen again to the
language of the country you are going to
visit? No problem with Internet Radio.
First select the continent and then the
country and before you know it, Spanish,
Creole or French will be coming at you
out of the "ether".
The iPod Connection
Your MMM will get on very well with
your iPod. Just connect it to the MMM
and using your Revox equipment, you
can dive into the audiophile world
offered by this clever little box of tricks.
The Memory Stick
When connected to the USB socket, any
memory stick and any USB hard disc* can
make its contribution to the media
diversity of the MMM.
The Music Folder
The MMM brings order into you favourite
collection of CDs. Just pack all the tracks
that make up your collection onto a
network disc in the highest quality and
then browse through them at your
leisure, looking for long-lost tracks or
rediscovering some old favourites. No
more looking for CDs that have been put
back into the wrong box!
The Multiroom Factor
Many of your friends will also be
comfortable in the world of Internet
Radio and will appreciate a network
player. But the MMM isn't just at your
service in the main room but in every
other room that your Multiroom system is
connected to. And that could be as many
as 32!

Important advice
Your network
The following description for the cabling
and the setup makes the assumption that
there is a functioning network with
router available and operational.
If you have any questions about the
setup and configuration of your network
or Internet access, please refer to your
System administrator or an IT specialist
of your choosing.
WLAN Wireless communication
An access point is required for the
wireless communication between the
MMM and the router. This can be an
external unit or it can be integrated in
the WLAN router.
Internet Radio
If you want to use the MMM to receive
Internet radio, there must be a
broadband Internet access to the router.
Setting up the Internet access may
involve further costs. The management
and use of the Revox Internet Radio
Portal is free-of-charge and already
included in the purchase price
Software/Firmware version
MMM 01
The software version V2.11 requires the
firmware Version MMM+1+2_SeDMP1
Revox v12772.15.bcd
MMM 02
The software version V2.11 requires the
firmware Version MMM+3+4+5_
SeDMP2 analog iPOD Revox
v12771.12.bcd
You can check or download the current
firmware version using the
DMP User
Interface
. To do this, enter the MMM’s
IP address into a Web Browser. The
browser
Mozilla Firefox has shown itself
to be very reliable here. The MMM has
to be connected with the network
through a LAN to carry out the firmware
update. Revox strongly advises against
using a WLAN as this can lead to serious
update errors, which can only be
resolved at the company headquarters in
Villingen, Germany.
Scene control and MMM
If the MMM is used as a source in a
scene control, only the first 8 of the total
of 16 scenes available can be used.
Scenes 9-16 are not supported by the
MMM. Scene control is described in the
Multiroom Module manual.

multimedia Operation

Starting MMM
The multimedia module can be started in
3 different ways:
By touching the front panel
Touch the glass front panel of the
Multimedia module, as shown in the
picture on the right. If the M100 is
switched off, the M100 basis now
starts up and selects the last heard
iRadio source. If, on the other hand,
the M100 basis is already switched
on, it switches over to the last iRadio
station.
M100 basis Welcome menu
The M100 basis has a proximity sensor.
As soon as the M100's proximity
sensor recognises that a hand or
another object is approaching, it
increases the background lighting and
the Welcome menu appears. Now you
have 5 seconds to select the source
you want, by touching the
corresponding sensor field. If no
selection is made, the M100 basis
returns to standby mode.
M100 basis Source menu
If the M100 basis is already
operating, a source of the MMM can
be called through the M100 basis
Source menu. To do this, press the
touch key on the M100 basis.
The following menu field appears:
The MMM module is activated by
pressing the corresponding touch
key.

MMM Operation
Once all the required settings have been
made in the MMM Setup, the Multi
Media Module (MMM) can be called in
the M100 Source menu through the key
on that were assigned through the
Remote menu.
The manual always shows the M100
display view to illustrate working with
the MMM. In terms of content, this
display view is identical to that of the
M217 wall display. The only difference is
the resolution and/or modified structure
for the selection of menupoints.
The most important menus and selection
options available for operating the MMM
through an M217/M218 display
combination are shown on the next
pages.
The MMM displays the new source
Media in the Source menu.
Source
menu with Media
The following Start screen appears in
the initial seconds after calling the
source Media:
During this start phase, the MMM
searches for connected devices (USB
storage, iPod) and/or network devices
(NAS) and the Internet access for using
Internet radio.
Once the Start phase is completed, the
selection options that have been found are
listed.
Detailed explanations of these options
follow in the next chapters and you will
be shown how you can define the
search for particular tracks, albums or
radio stations.
Wake up with the Multimedia
module - See Page 55:

M217/ M218 Operation
Thanks to the sophisticated Revox
Multiroom concept, it is possible to
operate the Music server from each side
room that is connected to the Multiroom
system.
Call directly a certain MMM source
though the source keys on the M218
keyboard (grey keys) that you assigned in
the
Remote setup one of the MMM
sources
.
In the same way you use the M218
keyboard to control the volume [Vol ±]
as
well as changing track [<>], assuming that
the selection menu supports these
chequered keys.
Further operation of the Server is done
through the touch keys on the M217
display (black keys).
M217 Menu overview Part 
The following menu overview shows the
most important M217 menus for
operating the MMM. As the selection
menus are very dependant on the choice
of devices connected to the MMM (USB,
iPod, clients, etc.) it is possible that the
graphics differ from your M217 menus.

reason, it is possible that new or
modified selection options will be added
in the future. At the time of printing this
manual, the following selection criteria
were available:
•Playlists
•Artists
•Albums
•Songs
•Genres
•Composers
•Audiobooks
You can make your selection using the
Page and Select navigation softkeys. The
individual selection criteria are selected

Internet Radio
The selection Internet Radio gives you
access to thousands of radio stations
available from around the world. As well
as the linguistic diversity available, you
can also make specific selection based on
particular musical directions (Genres).
Podcasts offer even more individuality.
Podcasts are broad-casts such as news
programs, magazine shows, crime
dramas, comedies, etc. that are started
when you select them. You don't switch
onto a program that is currently running
as is usual when listening to (internet)
radio. You actively start the playback of a
program.
Starting Internet Radio
Select the menu point Internet Radio in
the Main menu.
The current selection options are
displayed:
The selection options in the Internet
Radio menu are being constantly been
adapted to meet customer requirements.
For this reason, it is possible that new or
modified selection options will be added
in the future. At the time of printing this
manual, the following selection criteria
were available:
•Favorites
•Added Stations
•Device location (country)
•Location
•Genre
•Podcasts By Location
•Podcasts By Genre
•New Stations
•Most Popular Stations
Favorites
Your favourite radio stations or
groupings that you have previously
organised through
Revox Internet Audio
Portal
are listed under Favorites . How to
do this and what you have to take into
account is described in the chapter
Setting up Internet Radio on page 18.
Added Stations
The selection Added stations lists those
radio stations that you added yourself in
the
Revox Internet Audio Portal (see
chapter
IAP , page 34), as these are not
listed by default. You need the URL, the
Internet path, of the operator of the radio
station to be able to add a new Internet
radio station in the IAP. You will usually

multimedia Operation
14
find this on the provider's homepage or
you can display them in a media player.
Device location (country)
Your MMM knows which country it is in
through its IP address. Using this
information, it offers the user direct
access to the selection of national radio
stations. This shortens the time needed to
make your selection as you don't have to
go through the continent and country
selections first.
Correspondingly, an MMM that is located
in London (UK), will show United Kingdom
here.
Location
Selection of radio station by countries.
Searching for the required radio stations
is made quick and specific through the
classification in Continents Countries 
Genre.
Genre
Listing of radio stations based on certain
music directions such as rock, jazz, folk,
etc. Within the genre, the individual radio
stations are either listed alphabetically
(
All Stations ) or by the countries offering
this type of music.
Podcasts By Locations
Listing of podcast transmissions based on
the country/continent where the provider
is located.
Podcasts By Genres
Listing of podcast transmission based on
the genre, which these transmissions are
assigned to.
New Stations
New radio stations are being added
somewhere in the world every day. As you
won't want to go to the effort of searching
for new radio station arrivals every day
yourself, these are listed in the selection
New Stations .
Most Popular Stations
Listing of the Internet radio stations that
are currently being listened to the most.
Internet radio playback
The following display appears after a
station has been selected:
Using the Previous and Next touch keys, you
can scroll to the preceding or the following
transmission within the list respectively.
Pause interrupts playback, if it is a
Podcast transmission []. On the other
hand, in the case of a live streaming from
a radio station, the pause function is
deactivated.

Operation multimedia
15
UPnP-AV Server
Network servers that support the UPnP-
AV standard can be accessed through
the network (LAN or WLAN). The most
usual instance of such a server is a NAS
hard disc.
The name of a media server is defined at
the server itself.
It is however possible to use a normal PC
as a network server. This though
requires a UPnP-AV software so that the
MMM can find a play stored music files.
Such a software is offered, for example,
by the company
Twonky Vision with the
software
TwonkyMusic .
The way a menu from such a UPnP-AV
server looks can be very different,
depending on the configuration.
Menu from the Revox M37 MK2 Music server
You can make your selection using the
Page and Select navigation softkeys, as
with all other media content. The
individual selection criteria are selected
with the Browse softkey.
Use Pause to interrupt the playback.
The Shuffle, Repeat and Search functions
are described in detail in the chapter
General control softkes – see pages 9-10.
Important: Folder name Music
The MMM can only find your music
tracks on the media server if they are
located in a folder called Music. Other
folder names are not recognised.
This folder can be displayed with
another name than Music in the media
server MMM folder. This is very much
dependant on the settings and the
various models of these media servers.
In the example shown above, the
network folder
Music is shown in the
display headline as Network Music.
You will find a small overview of UPnP
software for Windows, Mac and Linux on
Page 43 under Network Terminology
!

My Music
The Favourites selection MyMusic, on
the start page covers all your favourite
radio stations that you have added
through the MMM menu.
Select MyMusic directly through the
MyMusic softkey or go through the
menu with the Browse softkey.
A list appears with previously stored
favourite music tracks and/or radio
stations. Each entry that is listed here
has been added with the +MyMusic
softkey.
You can make your selection using the
Page and Select navigation softkeys. You
start the playback with the Play softkey.
Favorites - Internet radio
You will find the second selection of favourites
with the name Favorites in the Internet
radio area. This selection can only be
organised through the
Revox Internet
Audio Portal
at a PC and it contains
Internet radio stations. How you
organise them is described in the next
chapter.
- see Internet Radio setup -
Deleting a MyMusic entry
Entries / paths can be deleted from the
MyMusic list with the Remove softkey.
The actual music track remains on the
storage medium. Only the link is deleted.

Operation multimedia
17
Shortening access times
When you store stations or podcasts
through the Internet radio option into the
MyMusic folder, a list path is created in
the background.
If a MyMusic entry is now called, the
receiver uses this list path as the route
to find the corresponding radio station.
The more entries there are in the list, the
more time the receiver needs to find the
entry again.
It makes sense then to select the
shortest list path when adding a My
Music entry for radio stations or
podcasts that you call up on a daily
basis.
As a rule this is a call that is made
through the Favourites list that you
create in the (
Online Services) option in
the Revox Internet Audio Portal (see
Page 21).
Path: Internet Radio > Favourites >
Favourites Group
A good alternative without the Internet
Portal is:
Path:Internet Radio > Device Location
[Country] > Genre
The longest access times result from
using the following selection to search
for the station:
Path:Internet Radio > Countries >
Continent > Country > All Stations
By employing a more elegant call-up
strategy, you can achieve access times
that are 5-times faster.

M208 Operation - MyMusic
There is a separate mpi file called Revox
Multimedia Module
in the M208 Project
Manager
device library, for controlling the
MMM in the
MyMusic area.
As the description in this manual relates
to the system software V2.00+, it is
important to use the corresponding
M208
Project Manager V2.01
or higher. The
MMM doesn't support older versions.
You can transfer all entries in the
MyMusic area to the M208 remote
control with the MMM user interface.
After synchronising, select the required
MyMusic entry using the navigation
compass and confirm this with the OK
key. Shortly after pressing the OK key,
playback of the corresponding track or
Internet radio program will start.
Multiroom operation
This control option can be used both in
the main room and in all additional
rooms.
The are several navigation options to
help you find the desired entry in the list
in the shortest time:
A synchronisation with the M208 should
always be carried out if you modify any
of the
MyMusic entries in the MMM by
adding new ones or deleting existing
ones. Otherwise, wrong
MyMusic
entries will be called.
Synchronisation with the M208
How to carry out a synchronisation with
the M208 remote control is described in
the chapter
Synchronising MyMusic.
